This kit includes 2 components, each built and powder-coated in-house.
Enhanced Stability Control for Any Driving Condition
Upgrade your Ram 1500 (2009–Present) with the Trail Series Fixed Rear Control Arm Set, designed to eliminate wheel hop, improve traction, and enhance overall ride quality. Built to outperform factory components and competing aftermarket options, this set delivers exceptional durability, handling, and stability whether you're daily driving, towing, off-roading, or putting power to the pavement.
What’s Included in the Set?
- Trail Series Fixed Rear Upper Control Arms (TRL-R-15-2009-FXD-RU2)
- Trail Series Fixed Rear Lower Control Arms (TRL-R-15-2009-FXD-RL2)
Key Features Benefits
- Durable Hybrid Joint Design for Strength Comfort – Built with high-strength steel tubing, these control arms feature a high-quality polyurethane bushing at one end and a RockJock Johnny Joint at the other. This combination provides optimal articulation, durability, and reduced NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness).
- Factory-Length Design for Seamless Fit – Matches OEM control arm length, making it a direct replacement for factory arms, perfect for stock, leveled, or lowered setups (up to 2” drop).
- Eliminates Wheel Hop Maximizes Traction – Reduces axle movement under acceleration, preventing loss of traction and instability, especially under heavy loads or performance applications.
- Superior Handling Predictable Steering Response – Enhances suspension geometry, minimizing unwanted flex, and improving cornering precision, braking stability, and towing control.
Total Rear Suspension Control
For maximum axle stability and precise rear-end positioning, we recommend pairing this set with the Trail Series Fixed Rear Panhard Track Bar (TRL-R-15-2009-FXD-RPTB1).
Eliminate Wheel Hop Improve Ride Comfort
Factory rubber bushings can bind under load, creating excessive preload on the suspension, which leads to axle oscillation (wheel hop), reduced traction, and unpredictable handling. The Trail Series Fixed Rear Control Arm Set solves this by utilizing a combination of polyurethane bushings and Johnny Joints, allowing free and controlled axle movement.
Polyurethane bushings effectively reduce NVH, ensuring a quieter, smoother ride while maintaining firm axle control. Johnny Joints allow for increased articulation and longevity, eliminating axle wrap and providing improved traction and acceleration stability.
When paired with our Trail Series Fixed Rear Panhard Track Bar (TRL-R-15-2009-FXD-RPTB1), you get full rear suspension control, keeping your truck planted and predictable in any driving condition.
Highly Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating
Every Trail Series Control Arm undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for superior durability and corrosion resistance. A zinc primer base coat provides maximum rust protection, while the durable topcoat is available in 10 color options to match your build.
Optional Hardware Upgrade
This control arm set is designed for installation using factory hardware, but for added durability and a more secure fit, we offer an optional Grade 8 hardware kit (sold separately). This upgrade strengthens installation points and eliminates the risk of shifting under heavy loads.
Proudly Made in the USA
All CORE 4X4 components are designed, manufactured, and tested in Orem, UT, ensuring top-tier craftsmanship and strict quality control. Keeping production local allows us to maintain precise engineering standards, deliver industry-leading durability, and support American jobs.
