2007-2016 Silverado 1500 Rough Country Forged Upper Control Arms 7-Inch Lift Review & Install

Enhance your Silverado 1500’s off-roading capabilities by switching its stock upper control arms with Rough Country Forged Upper Control Arms for 2.50 to 3.50-Inch or 7-Inch Lift. Installing these control arms yields to increased efficiency in your vehicle’s handling and wheel articulation, so you can rest assured that your future off-road trips will stay smooth and comfortable.

Boasts a Tough Steel Construction. Due to their forged solid steel construction, these control arms are more durable than your Silverado’s factory control arms. What’s more, their greaseable ball joints feature an incredible polyoxymethylene ball race, which reduces friction and increases the arms’ lifespan.

Installation Is of Medium Difficulty. Installing these control arms can be challenging, so it’s recommended to have moderate mechanical expertise if you’re planning to handle the task by yourself. Fortunately, all of the necessary installation hardware is provided, which means you can finish the job in no more than 2 hours.

Includes Rough Country’s Lifetime Replacement Warranty. A lifetime replacement warranty is included with every pair of Forged Upper Control Arms sold. Please visit Rough Country’s website if you’re interested in learning more about the warranty’s terms and conditions.

I don’t understand, , when I put my 7 inch rough country lift on your truck, , the instructions, specified to use a stock upper control arm. I even called them, to discussed that same reason, because I wanted a better arm They Sold me a forged upper control arm with original specs. Am I missing something? Because rough country is telling me not to use that different angle of one. On a 7 inch lift.

All the info about only to 2016 and everything is not accurate information. You guys need to know your GM better

[DaRealCyYoung]

I started working on the passenger side of my truck... When I installed this one it seems like the control arm does not go down far enough to reach the knuckle because of the RC coilover not being compressed enough. Any tips on how I can make this work? I think ultimately I would need to figure out how to compress the shock a little
right? I completely took the shock out and am able to get the upper control arm installed by jacking up the lower control arm, but now the shock is too long to go back in. Please help if at all possible, thanks in advance.
