Upper Control Arms

We discuss Upper Control Arms, if you need them or not, and the Ironman 4x4 Pro-Forge arm. Since this is a long video, you can go to the different topics below.

2:01 If a proper 2 inch lift doesn't need an UCA, when do we need it? How does it help?
05:13 Why do most people not running Ironman 4x4 suspension use UCA?
06:56 Vibration and UCAs? What did you do on your pickup? What is caster?
09:35 Some do it for bling, I need it for strength, is Pro-Forge the answer?
10:15 What is the Pro-Forge advantage?
15:40 Does it increase droop? Improve sag?
17:18 My Navara upper arm hits the shock mount, why? How will Pro-Forge help?

Hey after watching this I purchased a set for my MN Triton which is raised just over 2" (55mm) and the arms sorted out the droop issues I was having with the standard arms. Thanks for your honesty in your description of the product, it was very nice to hear in this sell, sell, sell at all cost age we are living in.
But there was one thing I was a little unsure about & that is when you said that rubber bushes are stronger & better than polyurethane bushes. This is true to a point when comparing vibration, noise & ride, but when it comes to flexing the poly bushes are stronger because they are not bonded to pivot shaft sleeves. And this is where all bonded rubber bushes always fail when compared to polyurethane and therefore rubber bushes are not always stronger.
Other than for that I agree with everything else you said 100%. So, thanks.

[LukaDonchez]

Hi sir. Bale wla po ba kinilaman ang. Upper arm sa ride quality or better ride comfort?

[roderickdepolonia]

Do i need a UCA for a 2 inch trailblazer? I heard because you said the colorado does not fit exact the alignment after a 2 inch lift. Since i think maybe the colorado st trailblazer are the same? Thanks po

[davincigigs]

Sir am I need to use a UCA? Because my pick up height is 33"

[roneywakit]

Good evening, Sir using Iron man foam cell suspension on Fortuner 2009 zero offset rim. Do i need to change the stock UCA. Salamat

[cortez]

Sir, my unit is a 2015 Mitsubishi Strada (older 4D456 engine model) I have an existing Lovell coil springs together with an MCC Front Bumper (not sure if the coils were designed for a 2 inch lift though they said it is) and I have an Amada Explorer II adjustable front shocks and also an Amada UCA (they told me that the bushings and ball joints are replaceable too, but not sure if they mean replaceable with the OEM bushings and ball joints, please give a comment if you have any knowledge regarding the replaceability). Anyway, I want to make sure if the IRON MAN PRO FORGED UCA, can accommodate cleanly with ample clearance to spare the Lovell Coil Springs and the Amada Explorer II shocks without rubbing. And my final question is, does IRON MAN PH sell replacement bushings and ball joints for the IRON MAN pro-forged UCA. Thank you. 😊

Hi, any suggestions for 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee… any suggestions for the lift kit and suspension.

[JAU]

Hi Sir. Planning to lift my 4x2 dmax with ironman nitrogas kit. Does it need UCA ? Considering i dont use my pick up for offroading but for carrying heavy loads/cargo

[Kizaru]

After 40mm lift with 285 tires my steering became sensitive depending on road conditions. It follows uneven roads the proper term is tramlining. It wasnt behaving like that when it was stock. Will the uca solve this?

[getcsv]

Good informative video. Well explained!

[YouTube-Spinx]

Sir! Good day! Where can I purchase your product?

[johnwrightoverlandingrobotics]

Would I need to to do a body mount chop on a GX460 if I use the Ironman Upper Control Arms combined with the Ironman FCPs (for 2.5" lift with 33" Tires)? Right now I have a 2.5" spacer level kit with stock suspension with my 33" tires and I just had to trim a little. I want to get rid of a 1" spacer that I needed to prevent the tires from rubbing the stock UCA at full compression. Ironman UCAs should give me more room from watching your videos, but I am worried that they will push the tires too far back and create a need for a body mount chop. Please advise/comment if you could.
