Product Description

The Ridetech 11713699 Front Upper StrongArms are tubular upper control arms engineered for 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks equipped with the OE stamped-steel or aluminum upper control-arm design. The application also extends to the 2019 Silverado 1500 Legacy and GMC Sierra 1500 Limited. These control arms are designed to correct ball-joint geometry and provide additional camber-adjustment range, particularly valuable on trucks lowered 4 inches or more with drop spindles.

Ridetech manufactures the StrongArms using precision 4-axis tubular bending technology and contours the arms to provide additional wheel and tire clearance. Injection-molded Delrin bushings impregnated with Teflon reduce deflection and suspension stiction without requiring routine lubrication. The assemblies are finished in satin-black powder coat and supplied with the ball joints and bushings installed.

These control arms are compatible with Ridetech Air Suspension, Coil-Over, and StreetGrip stock-upgrade applications. Careful identification of the original upper control-arm material is essential: trucks equipped with cast-steel OE upper arms require Ridetech 11703699 rather than 11713699. Verify the factory arm construction before ordering and complete a professional alignment after installation.
