Important notes before you order
- This kit is only the upper control arms to fix ball joint range of motion issues common to Ram 1500 trucks when used with spacer kits.
- Will not work with stock rims with a 12.50" wide tire, tire will rub the UCA at full steering lock. If the stock rim is reinstalled it will need to be with the stock size tire ONLY!
- (Dealer Note) The former BDS122251 UCA has been superseded to BDS122253 to be used for 2-3" lift heights, however, the products are the same.
- Will not work on factory air ride models due to frame variations to standard suspension models.

Overview
Increase wheel travel by upgrading the stock OE upper control arms (UCA) 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 the ball joint positioning.
These UCAs can be used with BDS 6-inch lift kits and 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.
