Tuff Country 10-13 Ram 2500 4wd Upper & Lower Control Arm Bushings & Sleeves (Lift Kits Only)

Polyurethane Control Arm Bushing and Sleeve Kit for 2010-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2010-2012 Ram 3500 with Tuff Country Lift Kits

The Tuff Country 91314 is a complete upper and lower control arm bushing and sleeve replacement kit engineered specifically for 2010-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2010-2012 Dodge Ram 3500 4WD trucks equipped with Tuff Country 4.5-inch or 6-inch lift kits. When a suspension lift is installed on a Ram 2500 or 3500, the original control arm geometry is fundamentally changed. Tuff Country provides purpose-built upper and lower control arms as part of their 4.5-inch and 6-inch lift systems to correct caster and articulation angles, and those control arms require their own dedicated bushings and sleeves rather than the factory rubber units. The 91314 kit replaces the rubber bushing inserts on all four front control arms simultaneously, covering both upper arms and both lower arms with 16 polyurethane bushings and 8 steel sleeves. Polyurethane offers significantly improved resistance to oil, ozone, and heat degradation compared to factory rubber, and its firmer durometer maintains more consistent control arm alignment through the full range of suspension travel under load. The 91314 is made in the USA, compatible with Tuff Country 4.5-inch and 6-inch lift kits only, and is not compatible with Tuff Country long arm lift kits which use a different bushing geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Tuff Country 91314 work with any lift kit brand, or only Tuff Country?

The 91314 is designed specifically for use with Tuff Country control arms that are included in Tuff Country 4.5-inch and 6-inch lift kits for the 2010-2013 Ram 2500 and 2010-2012 Ram 3500. It is not a universal bushing kit and is not intended for use with OEM control arms, other-brand lift kit arms, or long arm conversions. Tuff Country manufactures separate bushing kits for other platforms and control arm configurations.

Does the 91314 include bushings for both the upper and lower control arms?

Yes. The kit includes 16 polyurethane bushings and 8 steel sleeves, which is enough to replace the bushings and sleeves in all four front control arms: both upper control arms and both lower control arms. All four arms are serviced by a single 91314 kit.

Does the 2013 Ram 2500 4WD fit this kit, or only 2010-2012?

Yes, the 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD is included in the fitment for the 91314. The 3500 fitment ends at 2012 for this part number because of a platform change on the Ram 3500. If your truck is a 2013 Ram 3500, this kit is not the correct part; consult Tuff Country directly for the applicable bushing kit for that model year and configuration.

Is grease required when installing the 91314 polyurethane bushings?

Yes, lubrication is critical. Polyurethane bushings are significantly stiffer than rubber and will develop a squeak during suspension movement if installed dry. Apply a generous coat of lithium-based or moly-based grease to the bushing outer surface before pressing it into the control arm bore. Do not use petroleum-based grease, as it will degrade polyurethane over time. Tuff Country recommends greasing all bushings during installation.

Can the 91314 bushings be installed without removing the control arms from the vehicle?

On most shop setups, control arm removal is the practical approach. The bushing bore diameter is tight and pressing or driving the old bushings out and new ones in typically requires the arm to be on a bench press or supported securely in a vise. Some experienced builders use an in-vehicle hydraulic press tool for control arm bushings, but this is less common on the Ram 2500 front suspension. Removal of the control arms is generally the safest and most reliable method for a quality bushing replacement.

Will I need a front-end alignment after replacing these bushings with the 91314 kit?

Yes. Any time front suspension components are disconnected and reconnected, including control arm bushing replacement, a front-end alignment is required. The torquing of control arm mounting hardware at ride height and a subsequent alignment ensures the caster, camber, and toe settings are returned to the correct specifications for the Tuff Country lift kit configuration on your Ram 2500 or 3500.

What Tuff Country lift kit part numbers are compatible with the 91314 bushing kit?

The 91314 is designed for use with Tuff Country 4.5-inch and 6-inch lift kits for the 2010-2013 Ram 2500 and 2010-2012 Ram 3500 4WD. Long arm lift kits by Tuff Country for this platform use a different control arm design and a different bushing kit. Contact Tuff Country directly or reference the lift kit instruction sheet included with your system to confirm compatibility with your specific kit part number.

What warranty does Tuff Country provide on the 91314 bushing kit?

Tuff Country provides a limited manufacturer warranty on their suspension components covering defects in materials and workmanship. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, installing aftermarket suspension components cannot by itself void the manufacturer warranty on unrelated vehicle systems. Contact Tuff Country at their official support channels for specific warranty terms and claim procedures for the 91314.

What is the difference between the Tuff Country 91314 and the 91304 bushing kits?

The 91304 is the equivalent bushing and sleeve kit for the older 2003-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2003-2009 Ram 3500 4WD platform with compatible Tuff Country lift kits. The 91314 is the correct kit for the 2010-2013 Ram 2500 and 2010-2012 Ram 3500 platform, which uses a revised front suspension geometry requiring different bushing dimensions. Always confirm the part number against your specific truck year before ordering.

Installation Instructions

• Block the rear wheels to prevent rolling, then safely lift the front of the vehicle and support it on jack stands at the designated chassis lift points.
• Remove the front wheels and tires from both sides.
• Place hydraulic floor jacks under the front differential to support axle weight before disconnecting control arms.
• Remove each control arm from its frame bracket and axle mount, saving all original hardware for reinstallation.
• Press or drive out the existing worn polyurethane bushings and steel sleeves from each control arm using a suitable bushing press or drift and hammer.
• Clean the bushing bores in each control arm to remove any corrosion, dirt, or residual bushing material.
• Apply a generous amount of lithium-based or molybdenum-based grease to the new polyurethane bushings before pressing them into the control arm bores. This is critical for preventing bushing squeak and extending service life.
• Press or drive the new 91314 bushings fully into each arm bore until seated flush, then insert the steel sleeves through the bushing center bores.
• Reinstall all four control arms into their frame brackets and axle mounts using the original hardware, torquing to the factory specification with the suspension at ride height (not at full droop).
• Reinstall the wheels and tires. Lower the vehicle to the ground and perform a front-end alignment after installation is complete.
