Rough Country Forged Upper Control Arms for 07-18 Chevy/GMC Trucks & SUVs – 1-Piece Aluminum

Engineered for Strength on Every Trail

Take your ride to the next level with Rough Country’s Forged Upper Control Arms, built from solid, 1-piece forged aluminum. This design eliminates welding weak spots, delivering premium rigidity and dependable performance when the road gets rough or the terrain gets demanding.

Performance and Longevity

The joints use POM ball joints that minimize metal-to-metal contact, reducing wear and maintenance needs. An oversized ball diameter helps manage load and improves range of motion for lifted applications, while the fully greaseable design keeps movement smooth. Durable rubber bushings support a quiet, steady ride even when you hit imperfect pavement.

Note: Ball joints should be greased prior to first use to ensure optimal performance.

Bolt-On Installation and Fitment

Designed for a 100% bolt-on process, expect a typical 3–4 hour install at home using standard tools. This kit is intended for 2.5–3.5 inch suspension lifts and integrates with Rough Country’s knuckle or bracket kits on select Chevy and GMC models.

Compatibility and Coverage

Compatibile with a broad set of Chevy and GMC models from 2007–2018, including trucks and SUVs in the Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra, and Yukon families. It is not recommended for stock-height or older classic bodies; always verify fitment against your lift configuration and model year.

Warranty and Support

Rough Country backs these aluminum control arms with a limited lifetime replacement warranty, covering manufacturing defects for peace of mind. A note in the installation guide reminds users to grease the ball joints before first use for best results.
