Default Rancho Adjustable Control Arm Installation

Check out my video of the NEW Rancho Adjustable Control Arms (all 8).

These control arms are designed to fit lifted or stock Jeeps (2007 and up). They will work with lifts up to 4 inches. They come in Red or Black Powder coat and the ends are very similar to the stock arms in that they have rubber bushings. Rancho calls them D2 high-articulation bushings. They are grease free and Rancho does have replacement kits if you ever wear them out (which looks unlikely). The arms are warrantied for life and I suspect there are the usual limitations on improper installs, etc., but I haven't confirmed that. There are NO, ZERO squeaks with these arms. They are substantial in size and constructed with 188 DOM wall Tubing. Best of all they are easy to install. You DO NOT have to remove your wheels to install them. I did use a floor jack to raise the pinion in order to get the upper arms to bolt up and quiet frankly it was nice and easy.

Here is a link to their website wjere you can view the black or red control arms:

Search results for: 'RS66150'

They don't sell direct so you will need to search for them using your favorite vendors and hopefully they are our sponsors
