Ford Ranger Next Gen Tough Dog Upper Control Arms (Excluding XL/XLS)
Tough Dog Upper Control Arms (UCAs) are engineered to restore your Ford Ranger Next Gen’s suspension and steering geometry back to OEM standards after it has been lifted. This is crucial for maintaining correct alignment and performance when running a lifted suspension.
Key Benefits:
When you lift an IFS (Independent Front Suspension) vehicle like the Ford Ranger Next Gen, the original caster and camber angles are pushed out of the acceptable limits, which can result in:
- Vague steering, making your vehicle harder to control.
- Positive camber, leading to uneven tire wear and accelerated degradation.
While factory alignment adjustments can compensate for some of this, the geometry will still be off from its OEM specifications. The Tough Dog UCAs correct this issue, ensuring proper alignment for a better driving experience.
Features:
- Fixed Length & Position: The Tough Dog UCAs are designed to maintain alignment even after harsh off-road impacts, preventing misalignment from sudden hits.
- Maximum Clearance: The slimline tubular design maximizes clearance between the strut and upper control arm during down travel, ensuring smoother performance without clearance issues.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction:
- 1020 Grade Steel End Housings: Durable and strong for off-road durability.
- Slimline Ball Joint Housing: Specifically designed to maximize clearance while maintaining strength.
- Heavy Duty, High Flex Bushings: These require no lubrication and are built for maximum longevity, even in the harshest terrain.
- Chromoly Steel Ball Joint: Known for its strength and durability, ensuring the control arms last longer, even on demanding trails.
Compatibility:
- Ford Ranger Next Gen 4x4 (07/2022 onwards)
- Excluding XL and XLS models
These UCAs are sold as a pair, ensuring that both sides of your suspension system are corrected and functioning at their best, allowing for improved vehicle handling, reduced tire wear, and a longer lifespan for your steering and suspension components.
