Overview
Upgrade the stock OE upper control arms on your 2006–2026 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD with BDS performance UCAs, specially designed for leveled and lifted applications. Built from high-strength 1.5-inch OD x .120-wall steel tubing, these arms feature an indexed ball joint cup to correct ball joint positioning and restore proper wheel travel. Compatible with BDS 2- to 3-inch lift kits as well as other lift and leveling kits on the market. Factory-style rubber bushings and premium greaseable ball joints deliver smooth, quiet operation and superior long-term durability compared to arms using uniballs, poly bushings, or heims.

Important Notes
- This kit includes upper control arms only, intended to correct ball joint range of motion issues common to Ram 1500 trucks when used with spacer kits.
- Will not work with stock rims fitted with a 12.50-inch wide tire — the tire will rub the UCA at full steering lock.
- If the stock rim is reinstalled, it must be used with the stock size tire ONLY.
- (Dealer Note) The former BDS122251 UCA has been superseded by BDS122253 for use with 2–3 inch lift heights; the products are the same.
