Dodge Ram 5500 08+ 2pc Front Upper Adjustable Control Arms

Performance, Strength, and Stability

Upgrade your Dodge Ram 5500 (2008-2020) with our Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms, designed to refine caster and pinion angles for improved handling, ride quality, and suspension durability. When lifting your truck, improper caster angles can lead to wandering steering, rough tracking, and instability—our control arms correct these issues, restoring confident handling on and off the road.

Built specifically for heavy-duty applications, these control arms are engineered for towing, hauling, and commercial-use trucks, providing exceptional strength without compromising ride comfort. When paired with our Adjustable Front Lower Control Arms, they allow for precise axle positioning, including pushing the front axle forward (commonly referred to as “the stretch”), enabling larger tire fitment without fender liner interference.
