The kit is engineered with built-in caster correction and features ICON's patented Delta Joint, a high-angle ball joint designed for both daily-driven durability and off-road articulation. OEM wheels and tires are compatible with this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-shipping-note\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground.

These control arms have caster correction engineered directly into the arm geometry, so alignment can be set to factory-recommended specifications without additional correction hardware. That translates to predictable steering feel and reduced tire wear on a truck that sees both highway miles and trail use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Delta Joint: Durability Where Uniballs Fall Short\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard uniballs allow excellent articulation but leave the joint's internal components exposed to water, mud, and grit, which is a real concern on a daily-driven or frequently washed truck. The Delta Joint addresses this with a zinc-plated housing and a tough grease seal that keeps contaminants out of the joint's working surfaces. Metal-on-metal construction combined with a greaseable design extends service life and eliminates the noise that worn uniballs develop over time. The result is a joint that articulates at greater angles than a conventional ball joint while remaining more resistant to corrosion and contamination than a traditional uniball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIncreased Wheel Travel When Paired with 2.5 Series Coilovers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen installed alongside ICON's 2.5 Series coilovers, these upper control arms can increase front wheel travel beyond what the factory geometry allows. More travel means the suspension can absorb larger impacts without the wheel reaching its limit of motion, which improves both ride quality on rough terrain and confidence at speed over broken surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelta Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICON's patented high-angle ball joint with zinc-plated housing, grease seal, and greaseable metal-on-metal construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1026 DOM Steel Tubing:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC-bent for consistent geometry and high structural strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Caster Correction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered into the arm for proper alignment geometry after suspension modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServiceable Dual-Stage Bushings:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC-machined bushing housings and sleeves for long-term serviceability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSemi-Gloss Black Powder Coat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corrosion-resistant finish over the full arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Wheel and Tire Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits factory wheels and tires without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e218550DJ\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1026 DOM steel tubing, CNC-bent\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSemi-gloss black powder coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eJoint Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eICON Delta Joint (patented)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBushing Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eServiceable dual-stage, CNC-machined housings and sleeves\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFront, upper\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2009–2010 Dodge Ram 1500; 2011–2026 Ram 1500 (including 2019–2023 Ram 1500 Classic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e23 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Aftermarket Wheels (2009–2018)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eICON Alloys 17x8.5 with 4.75 in backspace \/ 0mm offset\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Aftermarket Wheels (2019–2023)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eICON Alloys 18x9 with 5.00 in backspace \/ 0mm offset; or 20x9 with 5.00 in backspace \/ 0mm offset\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Aftermarket Tires (2009–2018)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33x11.50 in (larger tires may fit but fender trimming and modifications will be required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended Aftermarket Tires (2019–2023)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e35x12.50 in (fender trimming and modifications will be required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis kit suits 2009–2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2011–2026 Ram 1500 owners who want improved front suspension geometry, caster correction, and the option of increased wheel travel when paired with ICON 2.5 Series coilovers.

The ICON Delta Joint Tubular Upper Control Arm Kit is confirmed compatible with OEM wheels and tires on 2009–2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2011–2026 Ram 1500 trucks. If you plan to run aftermarket wheels and tires, ICON provides recommended sizes by model year in the specifications above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this kit fit the Ram 1500 TRX or Ram 1500 RHO?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The ICON Delta Joint Tubular Upper Control Arm Kit does not fit the Ram 1500 TRX or Ram 1500 RHO. It also does not fit Ram 1500 trucks equipped with rear factory air ride. Confirm your specific build before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan I install this kit with aftermarket steering knuckles already on my truck?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. This upper control arm kit is only compatible with OEM (factory) steering knuckles. Installing it in combination with any aftermarket steering knuckles is not supported and should not be done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat makes the Delta Joint different from a standard uniball?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe ICON Delta Joint uses a zinc-plated housing and a grease seal to protect internal components from water, mud, and contaminants. A traditional uniball leaves those working surfaces exposed to the elements, which is a known limitation in daily-driven use. The Delta Joint is also greaseable and uses metal-on-metal construction, which extends service life and allows noise-free operation while still providing greater angularity than a conventional ball joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this kit include coilovers or other suspension components?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The ICON Delta Joint Tubular Upper Control Arm Kit includes the upper control arms only. Coilovers, springs, and other suspension components are sold separately. ICON notes that pairing these arms with ICON 2.5 Series coilovers can increase front wheel travel beyond factory limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICON Vehicle Dynamics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50621908516934,"sku":"218550DJ","price":879.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/ba94f6d3cc945d44cd0381e673ccd2c2-sq.jpg?v=1791940724","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/icon-vehicle-dynamics-delta-joint-front-tubular-upper-control-arm-kit","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
