Upper Control Arm Options

DailyRam · Feb 8, 2017

So I've got the Bilstein 5100's ordered for my front level on my 4wd 2014 1500, and i'm considering having the UCA's changed out at the same time. The truck has 46k miles on it.
I've read a lot of good and some bad on the Mevotech's. Is there an option people are running that's of better quality than the Mevotech, but not as much as the Zone UCA's? Or is the Mevotech the best option if i don't want to drop $400+ for a set of UCA's. i understand that you get what you pay for, i'm just trying to see what options are out there.

Current plan is to run the stock 20" rim with a beefier tire in the 34-35" range.

This has been gone over a few times. Some people have had success with mevotechs, some haven't and claim they're a cheap product. I think certain years are more prone to having issues. Was gonna recommend icon, but just looked and they are twice the cost of zone. Sooooo, Zone?

Zone from my understanding is the best for the money. Moog and mevotech seem to be the cheaper option to go with. It'***** or miss from what I've heard and read. Some have great luck others wish they had spent the extra money on the zone.

I have the zone arms and they are great, they are also about 200$ cheaper than any unibal arm on the market.

I've seen these on ebay 2009-2016 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD Silver Upper Control Arm For 2-4" Lift | eBay but they dont have any reviews or anything so I'm hesitant. They're still kinda pricy but cheaper than zone. They also come in different colors.

I just had zones installed with my 2.5 leveling kit after the stock UCAs popped after not even a 100 miles. Zones are definitely some beefy sons of guns.

Can anyone tell me the difference dimension wise from the zones or mevotechs vs stock ?

I almost bought these but was scared to chance it. There are some yota guys on YouTube who say there are slight fitment issues with the bushings but they perform well.

I'am running the Uni-ball UCA from Tuff country, and absolutely love them. No issues at all been on the truck for about 3k miles. I would say Check them out.

I would go with zone you get what you pay for.

Marciel · Feb 9, 2017

I looked at tuff country also, they're products look really nice. No squeak's with the uni ball setup?

Here is third time for this post....I literally just posted in the 2 threads above...Defiantly go with the Zone UCAs you'll be glad you did....in my opinion the Mevotechs are junk....if you are gonna mod the truck do it right the first time!!! These are beefy UCAs! Like stated above you get what u pay for....many complain about price on many of the mods..so why bother modding if you go with the cheapest stuff to save a buck....Suspension, headers, motor work....why not go with high quality parts. :happy107:

That's why I never-never recommend any Mevotech product to anyone. And theirs customer never replied. It's a crap.

Hipps2000 · Feb 12, 2017

That sucks!!! You get what you pay for.... not sure how Anyone can even entertain installing $35 dollar upper control arms and think they are
Going to fair well....these are JUNK!!! Period
