Product Details
Enhanced Stability Performance for Any Driving Condition
Upgrade your Ram 1500 (2009–Present) with the Trail Series Fixed Rear Lower Control Arms, designed to eliminate wheel hop, improve traction, and enhance rear axle stability. Whether you're towing, daily driving, or tackling off-road terrain, these control arms provide greater durability, better power transfer, and a smoother, more controlled ride.
Built as a factory-length direct replacement, this upgrade is engineered to outlast and outperform factory components while reducing Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) for improved ride comfort.
Key Features Benefits
- Built for Strength Longevity – Constructed from heavy-duty steel tubing and featuring high-quality polyurethane bushings at one end and a Rock Jock Johnny Joint at the other, these arms deliver long-lasting durability, superior articulation, and reduced NVH.
- Factory-Length Design for Seamless Fit – Designed to match OEM control arm length, making them a direct replacement for factory arms, ideal for stock, leveled, or lowered setups (up to 2” drop).
- Eliminates Wheel Hop Maximizes Traction – Reduces axle movement under acceleration, preventing loss of traction and improving stability, especially under load or in performance applications.
- Superior Handling Predictable Steering Response – Enhances suspension geometry, reducing unwanted flex and improving cornering precision, braking stability, and towing control.
- Complete Rear Suspension Control – For total axle stability and improved traction, pair these lower control arms with the Trail Series Fixed Rear Upper Control Arms (TRL-R-15-2009-FXD-RU2) to further enhance handling and eliminate unwanted suspension movement.
Eliminate Wheel Hop for a Smoother, More Controlled Ride
Wheel hop occurs when factory rubber bushings create excess preload, causing the rear axle to bind and oscillate under load. This leads to loss of traction, instability, and unnecessary strain on suspension components.
The Trail Series Fixed Rear Lower Control Arms solve this issue with a hybrid joint system—polyurethane bushings for NVH reduction and Johnny Joints for unrestricted axle movement. This ensures:
- Better road contact
- Reduced axle wrap
- Smoother acceleration stability
Pairing these with our Trail Series Fixed Rear Upper Control Arms (TRL-R-15-2009-FXD-RU2) provides a complete rear suspension solution for maximum performance and control.
Highly Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating
Each Trail Series Control Arm undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for superior durability and corrosion resistance: Zinc primer base coat for maximum rust protection. Durable topcoat available in 10 color options to match your build.
Optional Hardware Upgrade
These control arms are designed for installation using factory hardware, but for a stronger, more reliable connection, we offer an optional Grade 8 hardware kit (sold separately). This upgrade ensures long-term durability, reduces the risk of shifting under heavy loads, and simplifies installation.
Proudly Made in the USA
All CORE 4X4 products are designed, manufactured, and tested in Orem, UT to ensure superior craftsmanship and strict quality control. Keeping production local allows us to maintain precise engineering standards, deliver top-tier durability, and support American jobs.
