The Blackhawk Ultimate Adjustable Upper Control Arm Kit is purpose-built for the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015) and N80 (2015-on) running lift kits of 2" or more. Greasable ball joints, sealed bushings and a wide caster-adjustment range restore factory steering geometry that a raised ride height throws out, cutting down on uneven tyre wear and steering wander. Pair it with our shock absorber range or coil springs for a matched front-end setup, and check exact fitment via our Hilux N80 parts finder. Backed by a manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, with our team on hand for fitment guidance.

These upper control arms are geometry components, not load-bearing springs, but they still need to be matched to your front spring rate and lift height. If you're running heavier front-end accessories like a bull bar, winch or driving light bar, choose a front coil spring rated for that constant load so ride height and caster settings stay consistent. Common accessories that affect front spring and caster selection include steel bull bars, winches, second batteries mounted forward, and heavier alloy bash plates.
Fitment is a bolt-in job for an experienced DIY installer with a hoist and standard hand tools, though most customers have these fitted by a qualified suspension or wheel alignment workshop. A wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after fitting to set caster, camber and toe correctly — do not drive on public roads until this is done. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for bushings to settle before a final alignment check. For a full front-end rebuild at height, pair this kit with other upgraded control arms or lower arm options for your Hilux.
Blackhawk4x4 builds suspension componentry specifically for popular Australian 4WD platforms like the Hilux N70 and N80, focusing on parts that bolt straight into factory mounting points. Every control arm kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supplied through 4WD Suspension's Australian stock with fitment guidance from our team. Tourers, tradies and weekend off-roaders running lifted Hilux utes rely on this kit to get factory-correct steering geometry back — view the full Blackhawk4x4 range to match it with a complete lift kit.
This kit suits Hilux owners who've already fitted, or plan to fit, a 2" or higher front lift and are seeing uneven tyre wear, wandering steering or reduced wheel travel as a result. It's also relevant for tradespeople and tourers carrying constant front-end loads such as bull bars and winches, and for those running airbag suspension at the rear who want the front geometry corrected to match.

Yes, the Blackhawk Ultimate Adjustable Upper Control Arm Kit (SKU BHU3881H) is a direct bolt-in fit for Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015) and N80 (2015-on) models using the factory upper control arm mounting points. No cutting, drilling or chassis modification is required. If you're running a non-standard front-end setup or aftermarket bull bar, contact our team to confirm clearance before ordering.
This kit doesn't add lift itself — it's designed to correct caster and camber geometry after you've already fitted a 2" or higher front lift kit or raised coil springs. Without adjustable upper arms, a lifted Hilux front end often runs out of factory caster adjustment, leading to steering wander. Fit this kit alongside your lift kit or coil springs to bring geometry back within an alignment-friendly range.
The kit includes two Blackhawk Ultimate Adjustable Upper Control Arms (left and right), heavy-duty greasable ball joints, sealed pivot bushings, adjustable caster/camber cam hardware and all mounting bolts. Fitting instructions are included. Lower control arms, shocks and springs are sold separately.
Yes, correcting caster geometry improves steering stability whether you're towing a van or trailer, since a lifted front end with incorrect caster can feel vague or wander under load. This kit doesn't change load capacity — for towing-specific load support, pair it with an appropriately rated rear leaf spring or airbag setup. Talk to our team about matching front geometry to your towing rear-end configuration.
This product is the upper control arm upgrade itself, so no further upper arm change is needed once fitted. Some Hilux owners running larger lifts also upgrade their lower control arms or diff drop kits for additional clearance and CV angle correction — ask our team if your lift height needs this extra step.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after installing these adjustable upper control arms. Caster, camber and toe all need to be set to the correct specification for your ride height, and the vehicle should not be driven on public roads beforehand. We also recommend a follow-up alignment check after a 500km bedding-in period.
This control arm kit is a geometry component and doesn't include springs, so it works with whatever front coil spring rate you've already fitted or plan to fit. If you're carrying a bull bar, winch or driving lights, choose a front coil rated for that constant load from our coil spring range to keep ride height and caster settings consistent.
Correcting caster and camber with this kit helps reduce rubbing caused by incorrect wheel angle at height, but tyre clearance depends on your lift height, wheel offset and tyre size, not the control arms alone. Most Hilux N70/N80 owners running a 2" lift with these arms fit up to 33-inch tyres without major rubbing, though this varies by wheel width and offset. Confirm your exact tyre and wheel combination with our fitment team before ordering.
The Blackhawk Ultimate Adjustable Upper Control Arm Kit is covered by a manufacturer warranty through Blackhawk4x4, supplied and supported by our Australian-based team. If you have a fitment or warranty question, our specialists can talk you through the claims process directly.
Yes, once fitted and aligned correctly, these control arms restore the steering feel and tyre wear characteristics you'd expect from a factory Hilux, making it suitable for daily driving as well as touring and off-road use. Correct caster is what keeps a lifted Hilux tracking straight and not wandering at highway speed. Always complete the recommended alignment and 500km bedding-in check before extended daily use.
