  • .25″ wall DOM tubing, the strongest on the market!

  • Replaceable Ball joints, unlike the stock arms
  • More compact design allows for fitting larger tires with less contact issues on the control arms
  • New Ball Joint location provides more space and more clearance for oversized tires.
  • Repositioning of Ball Joint eases the angle on the ball joints and put them in a neutral position,

  • Made in the USA!!!

Why GX470 UCA (Upper Control Arms)

Some vehicle owners who have had a lifted Toyota for awhile and play hard, may have had to change out their upper control arms. Our GX470 Control arms are a great alternative. Its also not uncommon for the stock control arms to contact the spring and make a noise during suspension movement, another issue which our Toyota control arms eliminate.

FACT: We use a MOOG Cadillac Escalade Ball Joint. Our competition’s ball joints are a ‘in-house brand’ and can only be purchased from our competitor.. expensive, AND you’re screwed if something breaks while you’re away from home… or they ever go out of business! Our MOOG Ball Joints can be purchased at any auto parts store, anywhere in the world.
FACT: Our competitor’s Ball Joints are not stronger or more durable than the top of the line MOOG Ball Joints in the Rocky Road kit.
FACT: Our kits are manufactured for lifted Toyotas, and allow factory spec alignment as easy, or easier than our competition. Toyota control arm high angle ball joint.

Rocky Road Toyota Upper Control Arm provide extremely high angle Ball Joints which cannot be beat by any custom or rebuildable style ball joint.
Our kits use MOOG, which are recognized as the best in our industry, serviceable with their own grease fitting, easily found at any auto parts store, anywhere in the world, and very easy to swap out should this ever be needed.

Notice the range of movement in these ball joints. Even the most expensive, fancy looking, rebuildable kits cannot beat this range of movement for the ball joint.

Rocky Road kits simply use heavier gauge tubing for all of our GX470 Control arms, and a thicker gauge steel for our Extreme Duty Control Arms than our competition. This ends all online debate. When you buy Rocky Road you are buying the best. FACT.

 

CONSUMER WARNING: Be aware of the cheaply made RED control arms coming out of China at this time.

One time installation saves the DIYer multiple hours of revisiting typical cheap Chinese problems. If you have mechanics do your installation, reliable proven RRO kits SAVE YOU MONEY!

Unknown Chinese manufacture, new to auto parts. Low budget ball joints, extremely cheap, unknown part number. Poly bushings always ride rougher and transmit bumps and rattles into your Jeep. These cheap bushings appear brittle and cheap on physical inspection. Reports of ride stiffening noticeably. Thin steel pipe construction.
