The Blackhawk Ultimate Adjustable Upper Control Arms give the Ford Ranger PX1, PX2 and PX3 (2011-2022) full caster and camber adjustment to correct alignment geometry after fitting a 2" suspension lift. Heavy-duty ball joints, reinforced chassis mounts and polyurethane bushings replace the factory upper arms, which can't adjust for lifted ride height. Sold as a pair with all mounting hardware, these arms are matched to work alongside Blackhawk4x4 lift kits for correct wheel alignment and even tyre wear. In stock in Australia with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our suspension team.

These control arms are alignment components, not springs, but the cam-bolt adjustment needs to be set to suit the spring rate and lift height you're running. Front accessories such as a bull bar, winch or driving lights add constant weight that settles the front end lower, while rear accessories like a canopy, drawer system or long-range fuel tank call for a firmer rear spring to hold ride height. Settle on a lift height and spring rate first using our coil springs range, then these arms are cammed to bring caster and camber back within factory tolerance.
Fitment involves removing the factory upper control arm and bolting in the Blackhawk arm using the supplied hardware — an experienced DIY installer with a workshop press and alignment hoist can complete this, though we recommend a qualified suspension fitter for the ball joint and torque work. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after fitting, as the cam bolts need to be set to bring caster and camber back to Ford's specification. Allow a 500km bed-in period for bushings to settle before a final alignment check. If you're also running a lift, pair this kit with matched control arm upgrades front and rear for consistent geometry.
Blackhawk4x4 builds its adjustable control arms specifically for popular Australian 4WD platforms like the PX Ranger, with reinforced mounts and greaseable joints designed around local towing and touring use. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, so you're not waiting on overseas freight for a replacement part. Tradespeople and tourers running lifted Rangers rely on Blackhawk4x4 to get alignment specs back within range — view the full Blackhawk4x4 range for matching shocks and springs.
This kit suits Ranger owners who've fitted a suspension lift and need to correct caster and camber that the factory upper arm can't adjust for. It's a common fit for tradespeople carrying tools and equipment, tourers running roof-top tents and drawer systems, and anyone towing a caravan or trailer who needs stable, predictable steering geometry. Load carriers running heavier constant weight should also look at airbag suspension to manage rear sag alongside these arms.
These control arms are in stock in Australia and dispatch quickly from our warehouse, backed by manufacturer warranty and fitment advice from our in-house suspension team. Browse our full lift kit range to plan a complete suspension package for your PX Ranger.

Yes, this Blackhawk Ultimate Adjustable Upper Control Arm kit is designed to bolt directly onto Ford Ranger PX1 (2011-2015), PX2 (2015-2018) and PX3 (2018-2022) chassis mounts. No cutting or drilling is needed. If you're fitting a different Ranger variant or aren't sure which series you have, our team can confirm fitment using your build plate details.
This control arm kit doesn't add lift itself — it's designed to restore correct caster and camber once you've fitted a suspension lift, and it accommodates lifts up to 2" without binding. The actual lift height comes from your coil springs, torsion bars or lift kit. Pair it with our coil springs or full lift kits for the height you're after.
You get a pair of Blackhawk Ultimate Adjustable Upper Control Arms with heavy-duty greaseable ball joints, reinforced chassis mounting brackets and polyurethane bushings pre-fitted. Cam-bolt hardware for caster and camber adjustment is included, along with mounting bolts and fitting instructions. Lower control arms, shocks and springs are sold separately.
Yes. Correcting caster and camber after a lift is important for stable towing, as poor alignment causes uneven tyre wear and vague steering under trailer load. These arms hold their adjustment under the extra front-end weight of a bull bar or winch commonly fitted alongside a tow setup. For rear-end sag under a loaded caravan, also consider airbag suspension.
If you've lifted your Ranger by 2" or more, the factory upper control arm often runs out of adjustment range to correct caster and camber, leading to premature tyre wear and off-centre steering. This kit adds the cam-bolt adjustment the factory arm lacks. It's a common pairing with any suspension lift kit on the PX Ranger.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory straight after installation. The cam bolts on these arms need to be set correctly to bring caster and camber back within Ford's specification for your ride height. Skipping alignment will leave the vehicle wearing tyres unevenly and pulling to one side.
These are control arms, not springs, so spring rate is selected separately based on your accessory load. Front weight from a bull bar or winch, and rear weight from a canopy or drawer system, both influence the right spring rate. Browse our coil springs range to match a rate to your setup, then these arms adjust to suit.
Correct caster and camber from this kit helps larger tyres track straight and wear evenly at a lifted ride height, but tyre clearance itself depends on the lift height, wheel offset and any flares fitted. Check your specific lift height and tyre size combination with our fitment team before ordering larger rubber.
This Blackhawk Ultimate Adjustable Upper Control Arm kit is covered by the Blackhawk4x4 manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It's dispatched from Australian stock, so any warranty support is handled locally through our team rather than an overseas supplier.
Yes. Restoring factory-correct caster and camber with this kit keeps steering feel and tyre wear close to standard for daily driven, lifted Rangers. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the polyurethane bushings to settle, then get a final alignment check to confirm everything's holding within spec.
