With improved directional stability and better handling, purchasing a new control arm kit can significantly improve your Jeep Wrangler’s control during hard wheeling and off-roading. Purchasing an aggressive lift system requires control arms that won’t suffer from axle binding while protecting your suspension system from wear and tear. A new control arm set can provide you with a positive caster angle, which improves the dialing of your alignment and your wheels straight-line navigation. Without a calibrated lower control arm, upgrading your suspension lift won't do much toward increasing your ground clearance. In fact, for a lift kit of 4” or more, your stock control arms could compromise your suspension's performance.
