Fabtech Uniball Upper Control Arm Lift System GM

The Fabtech Uniball Upper Control Arm Lift System for GM trucks and SUVs is a suspension lift kit. It adds ride height and ground clearance. It also strengthens the front suspension for off-road driving, towing, and daily use. The kits replace the factory ball-joint upper control arms with heavy-duty tubular upper arms. They also include the lift hardware needed to get the added height.

Key Features:

• Uniball upper control arms: The arms eliminate the factory upper ball joint. They use a 1-inch stainless steel, PTFE-lined uniball bearing. This design holds up better under hard off-road use than a stock ball joint.
• Chromoly tubular construction: The arms are built from .120-inch wall 4130 chromoly tubing. This reduces the flex found in stock arms and gives a more positive road feel.
• Stainless hardware: The heat-treated 17-4 stainless uniball pins and misalignment spacers keep the uniballs clear through the full range of suspension travel.
• Added caster: The upper arms add caster compared with stock arms. This helps alignment and on-road manners with larger tires.
• Bolt-on installation: The uniball pin fits the factory spindle taper without modification. This allows an easy return to stock.
• Lift components: Depending on the kit, lift comes from components such as steel strut spacers, rear lift blocks, and matched shocks. These raise the front end and correct the factory rake while using the factory suspension layout.

Fabtech is a well-known name in truck and SUV suspension. This lift system is designed for drivers who want a stronger front suspension, a more aggressive stance, and room for larger tires. Kit contents and lift height vary by application, so check the details of the specific part number you choose.
