ICON 2009+ Ram 1500 Upper Control Arm - Delta Joints # 218550DJ
January 2022 Update: IN STOCK & ON SALE!
ICON Vehicle Dynamics is proud to offer a Tubular Upper Control Arm System for the 2009 - 2021 model year Ram 1500 2wd & Ram 1500 4WD Trucks. The factory Ram 1500 upper ball joint design presents problems by limiting the potential suspension travel. This is especially true when running spacer style leveling kits and extended travel performance coil-over shocks on the 4x4 Ram 1500 trucks. It is also problematic on 2wd Ram 1500 trucks running coil spring spacers or taller lift coils. ICON eliminates the weak factory control arm design and replaces it with their Patent pending DELTA JOINT equipped tubular control arms. The ICON DELTA JOINT increases the upper control arms ability to operate at increased angles. Even more important, the ICON design dramatically increases the pull-through strength which virtually eliminates the possibility of the ball-joint from pulling through the control arm. These control arms allow for an increase in possible wheel travel without worrying about the factory ball joint binding or breaking. The ICON upper arm has the ability to safely operate at steeper angles which makes the ICON 218550DJ Upper Control Arm System especially useful on lifted trucks that are taken off-road.

This ICON Upper Control Arm Kit # 218550DJ is designed to fit 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 model year Ram 1500 trucks built on the 2wd and 4x4 platforms. The ICON 218550DJ Upper Control Arm Kit is 100% compatible with factory wheels and factory size tires. When running larger than stock size tires ICON recommends that you pay close attention to the wheel back space. ICON recommends the use of 17" or larger diameter wheels with a maximum of 5.25" inches of back space on 2wd trucks and 5.75" inches of back space on 4wd trucks. Use of larger than stock size tires on wheels with more than the recommended back space may lead to tire sidewall clearance issues with the control arm.
These upper control arms feature ICON's patent pending Delta Joint. The Delta Joint is a heavy duty high angle ball joint that combines the durability of a ball joint with the performance characteristics of a traditional uniball. While the industry standard uniball does a great job of allowing the control arms of a vehicle to articulate with little bind, they do have an inherent weakness that leaves more to be desired when used in a daily driven application - exposure to the elements. The Delta Joint features a zinc plated housing providing the first layer of corrosion resistance, while a tough grease seal keeps potentially harmful elements out of the inner workings of the joint. Metal on metal construction and a greasable design increase the longevity of the Delta Joint while at the same time allowing for noise-free operation. What makes the Delta Joint unique is that it brings the best of both worlds to ICON upper control arms with features that make it more robust than a uniball, and at the same time capable of greater angularity than a typical ball joint.
