If you're a Ford F-150 owner looking to enhance your truck's suspension performance, the Fabtech K2185DL Upper Control Arm Kit is a game changer. Designed specifically for 2009-2013 F-150 4WD models, this kit replaces your factory upper control arms with heavy-duty components that provide increased durability and improved alignment capabilities.
This kit eliminates the stock upper ball joints and replaces them with robust 1" ID Stainless American Uniballs, ensuring a more reliable connection. The added caster built into the arms significantly improves alignment, especially beneficial for those running leveling kits that often struggle with proper geometry. With this upgrade, you can enjoy enhanced wheel travel when paired with front 2.5" Dirt Logic Stainless Steel coilover shocks and rear 2.25" Dirt Logic Stainless Steel shocks.
The use of Chromoly tubing in the construction reduces flex compared to stock arms, resulting in a more responsive driving experience. The heat-treated 4340 Uniball pin fits seamlessly into the factory ball joint taper, allowing for easy installation and the option to revert to stock if needed.
This Upper Control Arm Kit is designed for the following vehicles:
When upgrading your suspension with this kit, you can fit the following tire sizes with minor trimming:
"After installing the Fabtech UCA kit on my 2011 F-150, I noticed an immediate improvement in handling. The added caster made alignment a breeze, and I can now run my 33s without rubbing. Highly recommend for anyone looking to beef up their suspension!"
