Overview
Upgrade the stock OE upper control arms on your 2006–2026 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD to BDS performance. Specially designed for leveled and lifted applications, these arms are built from high-strength 1.5-inch OD x .120-wall steel tubing and feature an indexed ball joint cup to correct ball joint positioning. Compatible with BDS 6-inch lift kits as well as other lift and leveling kits on the market. The frame mounting ends feature durometer-specific rubber bushings and premium quality ball joints for smooth, quiet operation and superior durability compared to arms featuring 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 — 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.
- The former BDS122251 UCA has been superseded by BDS122253 for use at 2–3 inch lift heights; the products are otherwise the same.
- Will not work on factory air ride models due to frame variations compared to standard suspension models.
