Upgrade the front suspension of your 2007–2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with Tuff Country’s heavy-duty uni-ball upper control arms, engineered for lifted trucks that demand improved suspension travel, strength, and long-term reliability. Designed to eliminate binding caused by factory ball joints, these cast steel upper control arms restore proper suspension geometry and deliver consistent performance both on and off the road.
Vehicle Fitment
These Tuff Country upper control arms are designed to fit 2007–2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 models, including both 4WD and 2WD applications. They are compatible with lifted suspension setups and are intended for front suspension installation.
Uni-Ball Design for Increased Suspension Travel
Unlike factory ball joints that bind under increased lift angles, these control arms utilize a high-strength uni-ball joint that allows for greater articulation and smoother suspension movement. This results in improved wheel travel, reduced stress on suspension components, and enhanced ride quality for lifted trucks.
Heavy-Duty Cast Steel Construction
Built from cast steel for maximum durability, Tuff Country upper control arms are engineered to handle the added load and stress associated with suspension lifts, oversized tires, and aggressive driving conditions. The robust design ensures long service life while maintaining factory-style fitment.
Improved Alignment & Handling
By correcting suspension geometry altered by lift kits, these upper control arms help achieve proper alignment settings, reduce uneven tire wear, and improve steering response. Whether your Silverado is a daily driver or a weekend off-road rig, these control arms deliver consistent, predictable handling.
Direct Bolt-On Installation
Designed as a direct replacement for factory upper control arms, installation requires no cutting or welding. These arms install using factory mounting points and hardware, making them an ideal upgrade when installing or servicing a lifted suspension.

Control Arms
Control arms are the key suspension linkages that connect the wheel hub and knuckle assembly to the vehicle frame, controlling wheel travel through both compression and droop cycles. Worn OEM control arms with loose ball joints or deteriorated bushings cause vague steering, tire wear, and handling inconsistency that only go away with replacement or upgrade.Popular UpgradesTubular steel upper control arms for lifted trucks and SUVs are the most popular upgrade in the control arm category, correcting the geometry compromised by a suspension lift and restoring proper caster angle and ball joint centering. Adjustable upper control arms allow alignment angles like caster and camber to be dialed in precisely after a lift or lowering modification. Replacement lower control arms with polyurethane or solid aluminum bushings improve response and longevity compared to worn OEM rubber mounts.Why do I need new control arms after a lift kit?A suspension lift changes the angle at which the OEM upp...
