Ball Joint Control Arm Lift System
The Fabtech K3168M ball joint control arm lift system is designed to enhance the performance and appearance of your 2019-2021 Ram 1500. This innovative four-system upgrade leverages the truck's large wheelwell openings to allow the use of 35-inch tires with minimal lift height, providing a bold stance without compromising ride quality. The system features a simplified design that is quick to install, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking both performance and convenience.
The upgrade includes a replacement upper control arm crafted from .120 wall DOM tubing, paired with heavy-duty extended-range ball joints that offer increased strength and durability for demanding off-road conditions. Heavy-duty extended length steering knuckles are incorporated to maintain factory Electronic Stability Control (ESC) functionality while accommodating larger tires. These knuckles preserve the stock track width, ensuring the tires stay tucked under the front fenders for a clean look. To maintain proper CV angles during full suspension travel, the system relocates the front differential. Additional components such as front bump stop extensions and brake hose relocation brackets are included to complete the front suspension modifications.
The rear lift is achieved with a 1-inch block and u-bolt system that levels the vehicle, enhancing its stance and handling. For those looking to retain factory coilover shocks, the system offers a spacer option that preserves OEM ride characteristics while providing a lifted appearance. Overall, the Fabtech K3168M lift system offers an effective and affordable solution to improve your Ram 1500's off-road capability and visual appeal, backed by a trusted brand and thoughtful engineering.
Note: This system is classified as LTL freight and is designed to deliver a simplified, fast installation experience with minimal parts required for a reliable lift upgrade.
