Description
Description
Designed to elevate the performance of Carli’s Commuter and Performance Suspension Systems, the Carli Upper Control Arms correct leveled geometry while increasing suspension travel and service life. Crafted from a strategic combination of 1/8” and 3/16” cold-rolled steel, the arm backbone is built to exceed the expectations of even the most demanding Carli customers, while the black powder coat provides a durable, professional finish.
Protected by an anodized aluminum cap, the 1” FK Uniball and in-house machined 17-4 Stainless Uniball Pin allow up to 1” more droop travel than the restrictive factory ball joint. The pivot point has been re-engineered to correct geometry for 2.5” Carli lift systems. At the frame, serviceable Energy Suspension bushings with crush sleeves reduce vibrations and offer a solid, reliable mounting solution. Both the uniball and bushings are replaceable, making these arms a long-term upgrade you won’t need to replace.
Installation & Fitment
These control arms are designed for 2.5″ front lift setups. For optimal fitment and minimal trimming, we recommend using an 8.5″ wide wheel with 4.5″ backspacing paired with a 33″ tire. Many customers run 4.5″–4.75″ backspacing wheels with 35″ tires, which may require additional trimming. For best results, 4.5″ backspacing is strongly recommended.
