Fabtech 3" Ball Joint Upper Control Arm System - Component Box for 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 2WD/4WD
The Fabtech 3" Ball Joint Upper Control Arm System, the direct component box designed specifically for these models in 2WD and 4WD configurations. This system raises front ride height by 3 inches using precision spacers that work with factory coilover shocks, delivering consistent lift without compromising suspension geometry or introducing bind during full droop travel. Compared to standard leveling kits, it offers greater fender clearance for 33-inch tires, improved ground clearance for off-road capability, and extended ball joint range for stable handling on uneven surfaces—all while keeping the factory ride smooth and quiet.
Drivers choose the FTS21306 for its direct fit that aligns perfectly with 2025 GM 1500 suspension designs, eliminating the need for differential drop brackets and ensuring reliable performance under daily driving or trail conditions. It restores easily to stock height if needed, making it a practical addition for truck owners prioritizing durability and ease of use over generic alternatives.
