BRAND NEW RIDETECH FRONT UPPER STRONGARMS, COMPATIBLE WITH 2014-2018 GМ 1500 TRUCKS (RIDETECH PART #11713699).

RIDETECH TUBULAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS CORRECT BALL JOINT ANGLE AND ALLOW FOR A GREATER RANGE OF CAMBER ADJUSTMENT, WHICH MAY BE NEEDED WHEN LOWERING THE TRUCK 4" OR MORE (WITH DROP SPINDLES) TO ATTAIN FACTORY ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS.

STRONGARMS ARE DEVELOPED BY RIDETECH IN JASPER, INDIANA ON AN ACTUAL RUNNING, DRIVING VEHICLE. THIS ALLOWS US TO PROPERLY ADDRESS ALL FITMENT AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO DOCUMENT AN INSTALLATION, DEMONSTRATE THE INSTALLATION TO OUR SALES TECHS AND DEALERS, AND ALLOWS ONGOING EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STRONGARMS.

WE THINK THE BEST WAY TO DESIGN ANY COMPONENT IS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. THAT IS WHY STRONG ARMS ARE DESIGNED WITH AS FEW COMPONENTS AS POSSIBLE. THEY ARE MANUFACTURED IN-HOUSE ON OUR 4 AXIS TUBING BENDER THAT ALLOWS PRECISE, REPEATABLE BENDS THAT NO OTHER MACHINE CAN ACHIEVE. WE CAN CREATE ELEGANT TUBING BENDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE SEVERAL SEPARATE WELDED COMPONENTS. THE PERIMETER OF THE STRONGARM IS CONTOURED TO ALLOW MAXIMUM WHEEL CLEARANCE AND TURNING RADIUS.

POWDER COATED IN A SATIN BLACK FINISH AND COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED WITH BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS. TO REDUCE DEFLECTION AND STICTION FROM THE SUSPENSION MOVEMENT INJECTION MOLDED DELRIN BUSHINGS ARE USED, WHICH ARE ALSO IMPREGNATED WITH TEFLON TO ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR LUBRICATION.

SOME TRUCKS (SPECIFICALLY 2014-2016 MODEL YEARS) MAY HAVE STAMPED STEEL OR ALUMINUM CONTROL ARMS WHICH USE DIFFERENT SPINDLES AND BALL JOINTS (THESE REQUIRE UPPER ARM PART NUMBER 11713699)
