Overview

Upgrade the stock OE upper control arms on your 2019–2026 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra 1500 with BDS performance UCAs. 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 for increased wheel travel. Compatible with BDS 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 using uniballs, poly bushings, or heims.
