Blackhawk Upper Control Arms are purpose-built for the Ford Ranger PJ/PK, Ford Everest and Mazda BT-50 Gen 1 (2006-2011), correcting suspension geometry after a 2" or 3" lift kit is fitted. Each arm uses heavy-duty extended ball joints and Australian-tested bushings to reduce bump steer, restore factory steering angles and cut uneven tyre wear. Explore our full range of upgraded control arms or check exact fitment for your ute using our Ford Ranger parts finder. Backed by manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock with fitment support from our team.

These control arms don't change your spring rate, but they're commonly fitted alongside a coil or leaf upgrade, so it pays to match rate to load before ordering. Consider constant accessory weight such as a bull bar, winch, dual battery tray, canopy, drawers or roof rack when selecting front coils, and factor in touring gear or a caravan tow ball weight for the rear. Talk to our team about matching coil springs to your accessory load before finalising your lift kit combination.
Fitting these upper control arms is a bolt-in job using the factory mounting points, but it involves working with steering and suspension geometry, so we recommend an experienced 4WD workshop or a confident DIY installer with a hoist. A full wheel alignment is mandatory straight after fitting to set camber, caster and toe correctly. Allow a 500km settling-in period for bushings to seat before a final alignment check. If you're lifting the front end for the first time, pair these arms with the correct raised coil springs for your lift height.
Blackhawk4x4 designs and tests its suspension componentry for Australian conditions, from corrugated outback roads to coastal towing routes. Every Blackhawk upper control arm carries a manufacturer warranty and is sold with fitment guidance from our in-house team — learn more on our about us page. Tradespeople and tourers running lifted Rangers, Everests and BT-50s choose Blackhawk for parts that bolt straight onto factory mounting points without workarounds.
These control arms suit Ranger, Everest and BT-50 owners who've already fitted, or are planning to fit, a lift kit and need the geometry corrected properly rather than left on factory angles. They're a good fit for tradies carrying tool boxes and canopies, and for tourers running heavier front-end accessories. If you're also carrying variable loads for touring or towing, it's worth looking at airbag suspension to control rear sag under load.

Yes — Blackhawk Upper Control Arms UCA3956R are built for the Ford Ranger PJ/PK, Ford Everest and Mazda BT-50 Gen 1, all built between 2006 and 2011. They bolt onto the factory upper mounting points with no cutting or drilling. If you're unsure of your exact model year or series, use our Ranger parts finder or contact our team before ordering.
These upper control arms don't add lift on their own — they correct suspension geometry once a lift kit is fitted. They're designed to work with typical 2" to 3" front lift heights used on the PJ/PK Ranger platform, keeping camber, caster and CV angles closer to factory spec at that ride height. For actual lift, you'll need a front coil or torsion upgrade alongside these arms.
The kit includes two Blackhawk upper control arms, one for each side, with heavy-duty extended ball joints pre-fitted and greaseable bushings for ongoing maintenance. Mounting hardware and fitting instructions are included. Lower control arms, shocks, coil springs and full lift kit componentry are sold separately.
Yes, correcting front-end geometry with these upper control arms helps maintain steering accuracy and even tyre contact when the vehicle is loaded up for towing. They don't change payload or tow ball weight ratings themselves, so check your GVM and towing figures against your specific Ranger, Everest or BT-50 build. Pairing them with the right rear spring rate for your van or trailer weight is the key step for stable towing.
If you've fitted or plan to fit a lift kit to a PJ/PK Ranger, Everest or BT-50 Gen 1, upgraded upper control arms like these are recommended to avoid excessive CV angle and bump steer on the factory arm. Running a lift on factory arms can accelerate wear on ball joints and CV boots. These Blackhawk arms are built with the extra angle in mind rather than adapted from a standard part.
Yes, a full wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after fitting these control arms, and again after the first 500km once bushings have settled. This sets camber, caster and toe correctly for your ride height and prevents uneven tyre wear. Skipping alignment is the most common cause of poor steering feel after a control arm upgrade.
These control arms are supplied as a fixed heavy-duty design and don't come in different spring rate options themselves, since they aren't a spring component. However, they're commonly ordered alongside coil springs in a range of rates to suit accessory load, so talk to our team about matching spring rate to your bull bar, winch, canopy or towing setup at the same time.
Correcting geometry with these control arms can improve clearance through the upper wheel travel, which helps when running a larger tyre on a lifted Ranger, Everest or BT-50. Actual tyre clearance depends on your final lift height, wheel offset and tyre size, so we recommend checking your specific combination with our team before fitting larger rubber.
Blackhawk Upper Control Arms UCA3956R are covered by the Blackhawk4x4 manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Our team can talk you through the exact warranty terms and claim process before you order. Genuine fitment support from our Australian-based team is included if you have questions during or after installation.
Yes, correcting the upper control arm angle after a lift is exactly what keeps steering feel and tyre wear close to factory levels for daily driving. Left uncorrected, a lifted Ranger, Everest or BT-50 can develop bump steer and uneven wear that's noticeable on the daily commute. With alignment set correctly after fitting, on-road manners stay close to stock.
