Precision Control for Pinion Angle Rear Axle Alignment

Maximize your Ram 1500’s performance with the Trail Series Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms, engineered to fine-tune rear axle alignment and pinion angle adjustments. Designed to work in conjunction with our lower rear control arms, this setup ensures maximum traction, stability, and drivetrain efficiency across all terrains—from highways to rugged off-road trails.

What’s Included?

Trail Series Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms (TRL-R-15-2009-RU2)

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty DOM Tubing Construction – Built from 1.75" OD, .313" wall DOM tubing for exceptional strength and durability.
  • Polyurethane Johnny Joint Combo – Features high-grade polyurethane bushings at the fixed ends for reduced NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) and Rock Jock Johnny Joints at the adjustable ends for maximum articulation and flexibility.
  • Pinion Angle Adjustment for Driveline Efficiency – Adjustable to correct pinion angle, reducing driveline vibrations and premature wear for a smoother power transfer and extended drivetrain life.
  • Recommended Pairing – For complete rear suspension control, pair with Trail Series Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms (TRL-R-15-2009-RL2) to eliminate wheel hop, optimize suspension geometry, and maintain proper axle alignment.

Eliminate Driveline Vibration Improve Rear Suspension Control

Factory upper control arms lack adjustability, making pinion angle corrections impossible after lifting or lowering your truck. By installing adjustable upper control arms, you eliminate vibration-causing misalignment, ensuring smooth acceleration, extended U-joint life, and optimal drivetrain efficiency. When paired with adjustable lower control arms, you gain full control over axle positioning, reducing suspension flex and eliminating wheel hop.

Highly Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating

  • Zinc primer base coat for maximum rust resistance
  • Durable topcoat available in 10 color options for a customized look

Optional Hardware Upgrade

Designed for installation using factory hardware, but for enhanced durability and a secure installation, we offer an optional Grade 8 hardware kit (sold separately).

Proudly Made in the USA

Manufactured in Orem, UT, every CORE 4X4 component meets strict quality control standards for precision, strength, and long-term durability.

Final Thoughts

The Trail Series Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms are a must-have upgrade for lifted or lowered Ram 1500 owners looking for driveline stability, reduced vibration, and enhanced suspension control. Pairing these with adjustable lower control arms provides total control over axle alignment, ensuring your truck stays planted and smooth under all conditions.

Upgrade today and take full control of your suspension and drivetrain performance!

I want to take the time to share my experience with Core 4x4. I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler and was looking to upgrade some suspension parts. I went with Core 4x4 upper & lower adjustable control arms and a front adjustable track bar. Everything arrived quickly, and right out of the box I was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. I had a few questions during installation (measurements and torque specs), and I spoke with Korby on a couple of occasions. Not only did he send me detailed instructions, but he also shared an installation video specific to the part and vehicle I was working on, something you don’t get from many companies. The control arms fit perfectly, look great, and perform exactly as I hoped. I did run into an issue with the front track bar touching the front diff. When I reached out, Korby had me send pictures and then immediately offered two solutions: his bar guy could make a different bend and send it out to me, or I could get a full refund. His response honestly blew me away. As much as I wanted to run the Core 4x4 track bar, I chose the refund. Korby sent me a prepaid shipping label right away, no hassle. My experience with Core 4x4 has been excellent. Korby was extremely understanding, communicative, and helpful every step of the way. The parts I received were high quality, and the customer service was second to none. I would absolutely recommend Core 4x4 10 out of 10 times and will be using them again. Just a great American company with awesome people who truly care about their customers. Thank you Korby, and thank you Core 4x4!

Ive had the front adjustable control arm kit in bright green for my 1996 ZJ. Ive had the kit for about a year now and i have to say, im extremely impressed, over 1000 miles off-road and roughly 20,000 miles on the highway. These control arm kits for any vehicle built by core 4x4 are well worth the money, just be aware thereight be some minor scatches or chips from shipping ( but who should care about that if you're beating the crap out of em' they way they were built and designed for)

The whole process was quick and painless. The products are top tier and when I reached out them for package update info, Korby Linscomb was very responsive, and got me the answers I needed the same day. Even when I emailed back to some additional info, he sent what I was looking for that same day. I love core 4x4 and will be giving them my business from now on.

I have nothing but good things to say about Core 4x4. I have the crawler series on my JKU and we take it all over the place. These parts handle everything we throw at them.
