- We discuss Upper Control Arms, if you need them or not, and the Ironman 4x4 Pro-Forge arm. Since this is a long video, you can go to the different topics below.
TOPICS:
0:20 Do I need upper control arms? Why?
2:01 If a proper 2 inch lift doesn't need an UCA, when do we need it? How does it help?
05:13 Why do most people not running Ironman 4x4 suspension use UCA?
06:56 Vibration and UCAs? What did you do on your pickup? What is caster?
09:35 Some do it for bling, I need it for strength, is Pro-Forge the answer?
10:15 What is the Pro-Forge advantage?
15:40 Does it increase droop? Improve sag?
17:18 My Navara upper arm hits the shock mount, why? How will Pro-Forge help?
18:36 Do you have Pro-Forge for me?
19:01 What Pro-Forge fits where?

Amazing video man!!! Appreciate your honesty!! I wish more manufacturers were honest like yourself
Thanks. Just doing what is right sir
This is true
No product is perfect but transparency and right knowledge is ❤
Boss thank you so much.
this is very informative.
hindi masayang pera namin bossing.
Thanks sir...
ordered my IronMan ProForge UCA at StageOne Autoshop Q.C. last Aug 26, 2021 and arrived on Aug 31, 2021 at their Shop and damn, when i came and pick it up, it was a total beautiful masterpiece.....
Thank you very much. It uses the most highend and accurate manufacturing process, only available to supercars, which is being a forged alloy. It is one of the few UCAs on the market that actually alter caster and camber for lifted trucks. Enjoy it sir!
After 40mm lift with 285 tires my steering became sensitive depending on road conditions. It follows uneven roads the proper term is tramlining. It wasnt behaving like that when it was stock. Will the uca solve this?
Nice Video! So much info to absorb, LOL
We can not stop learning... :)
Hi sir, very informative, would like to request the different types of shocks you have
Okay sir. I will do one on this.
Hey after watching this I purchased a set for my MN Triton which is raised just over 2" (55mm) and the arms sorted out the droop issues I was having with the standard arms. Thanks for your honesty in your description of the product, it was very nice to hear in this sell, sell, sell at all cost age we are living in.
But there was one thing I was a little unsure about & that is when you said that rubber bushes are stronger & better than polyurethane bushes. This is true to a point when comparing vibration, noise & ride, but when it comes to flexing the poly bushes are stronger because they are not bonded to pivot shaft sleeves. And this is where all bonded rubber bushes always fail when compared to polyurethane and therefore rubber bushes are not always stronger.
Other than for that I agree with everything else you said 100%. So, thanks.
Thanks so much for the input. Yes the poly is really good as a bearing of sorts, but stiff when it comes to twisting or deforming. That is why we recommend it for leafspring bushes as they do a rotational job. But thanks for the input.
We approach this industry as a user/hobbyist and wouldn't want to sell you something you don't really need, as the money can be used for more important stuff.
These are a good idea so you can increase your tire dimensions. But one thing I remember from owning my Toyota 4Runner was that if you intended to ford deeper water there is a need to modify the differential breather tube to prevent water going in. Have the later 4X4's resolved this issue?
No sir John. Most still run the same style diff breathers. Some Jeeps have factory extended breathers to about hood level. What we usually do is install an Ironman 4x4 diff breather kit so you can route your own breather hoses as high as you want.
Would I need to to do a body mount chop on a GX460 if I use the Ironman Upper Control Arms combined with the Ironman FCPs (for 2.5" lift with 33" Tires)? Right now I have a 2.5" spacer level kit with stock suspension with my 33" tires and I just had to trim a little. I want to get rid of a 1" spacer that I needed to prevent the tires from rubbing the stock UCA at full compression. Ironman UCAs should give me more room from watching your videos, but I am worried that they will push the tires too far back and create a need for a body mount chop. Please advise/comment if you could.
Sir question.. i bought my 2022 Ranger FX4
Planning to change may mags and tire stock (18s) to 20s magd and all terrain rugged tire.. do i need to update my suspension and spring?
Sorry for the question.. newbie here sa pick up truck.. thank you sir
Sir am I need to use a UCA? Because my pick up height is 33"
Can I order Ironman forged UCA for Ram 1500 2016 4x4? I wish I watched your videos earlier before I bought Bilstein 6112 for my Ram........I'm now concerned if it's better to install a proper UCA to go with it........Will need your advice. Thanks
This is a good video ! I am working on my Nissan Xterra.. fixing it and I am planning to do soon'ish.. lift.. hopefully this summer.. and make a video about it... so now I am in the look out for good budget friendly lift kits.. and now just came across this kit... IronMan.. this is something to consider )
Hi sir. Thanks! Ironman 4x4 has been into suspension in Australia since 1958. The suspension works really well. You in the US?
@@ironman4x4philippines20 Yes I am from USA, I am a beginner youtuber and DIY worker on my truck.. so thats why I started to look into lifts as my suspension is pretty old and saggy so its defiantly will need upgrade sometimes this year hopefully
@@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO thats nice! It is an easy fix with Ironman 4x4. Everything just bolts on!
@@ironman4x4philippines20 I would like to get a full suspension replaced... front back.. leaf pack and etc.. thats why I am now looking at different companies and what they can offer
@@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO yes sir. Drop me a private message on FB, Pablo Lu Ascoba
Thanks great vid.
I am running 30mm lift on my 2016 MQ triton Bilstien shocks lovells springs and was getting bump steer when hitting bumps on road and off road I had minimal down travel.
My local Ironman suggested to go 50mm foam cell pro and but the upper control arm.
Do you think this will solve my problem.
Thanks.
The Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro can be lifted up to over 50mm, that is when you need the UCA. I run a lot higher caster on my Hilux with the UCA for 0 bumpsteer. Drop me a message at FB Pablo Lu Ascoba
I have a 04 Toyota Tundra. It has leveling front kit (2.5-3") with a differential drop. I installed 35" tires (35/12.5R18). After cut and trim, no rubbing. I was able to get it aligned with stock UCA and LCA by adjusting the casters. I do notice that the UCA is very close to the springs. Will an aftermarket UCA and LCA will help me at all?
A UCA will help, but the distance of spring to UCA is caused by the levelling kit, as it essentially lengthened the overall length of the shocks. It will over-extend your axles and all other components.

I have a 6” rough country lift. Should / do i need a new UCA ie ironman
Sir, my unit is a 2015 Mitsubishi Strada (older 4D456 engine model) I have an existing Lovell coil springs together with an MCC Front Bumper (not sure if the coils were designed for a 2 inch lift though they said it is) and I have an Amada Explorer II adjustable front shocks and also an Amada UCA (they told me that the bushings and ball joints are replaceable too, but not sure if they mean replaceable with the OEM bushings and ball joints, please give a comment if you have any knowledge regarding the replaceability). Anyway, I want to make sure if the IRON MAN PRO FORGED UCA, can accommodate cleanly with ample clearance to spare the Lovell Coil Springs and the Amada Explorer II shocks without rubbing. And my final question is, does IRON MAN PH sell replacement bushings and ball joints for the IRON MAN pro-forged UCA. Thank you. 😊
I think it can accomodate the Amada shocks and lovells coils, but I cant be so sure. However, judging from the fact that the coils are Lovells (Australian), they were designed to work with the OEM upper arms, so fitment of any upper arm wont be a problem. As for the bushes and balljoints, we have a few in stock, but they are readily available in any auto supply as there is nothing special about them. The secret to the geometry of ProForge is in the arm design, so special extended balljoints are not needed. Most Asian arms use special joints coz they did not alter the geometry of the arm, instead they just created a good looking arm for bling and added special joints, which you could have added to your stocks arms too. Same effect.
This is an excellent video. I am planning to lift my Navara Np300 - 16 with a 2" suspension lift front and back and add bigger wheels and tyres. I usually ride unladen so i am looking for soft springs. Stock springs seems quite Hard. Would i need an upper control arm as well?
If you go with Foam Cell Pro Long Travel, you will need the ProForge Upper Control arms, to maximize travel. If regular Foam Cells, and you dont push for height, then its not a need.
@@ironman4x4philippines20 thank you for your input.
Hi sir. Bale wla po ba kinilaman ang. Upper arm sa ride quality or better ride comfort?
If di naman sagad ang existing arm po then wala po.
About the advantage, What if I am using Ford Ranger? Can the ball joint/bushing be replaced with Ford OEM?
Yes it can sir.
Hi Sir. Planning to lift my 4x2 dmax with ironman nitrogas kit. Does it need UCA ? Considering i dont use my pick up for offroading but for carrying heavy loads/cargo

Do i need a UCA for a 2 inch trailblazer? I heard because you said the colorado does not fit exact the alignment after a 2 inch lift. Since i think maybe the colorado st trailblazer are the same? Thanks po
I think you would need it. I ran my colorado for a few years without aftermarket UCA but I only had about 1.8° caster instead of 2.5°. It would be best to see if computerized alignment could be done or not.

My car is a chevrolet colorado 2015 so if i lift my pickup i need to also change the uca? Planning on installing am iron man lift kit
Sir on the Colorado if we get to 2 inches or a little more you will need a UCA. You will know it when alignment is hard on the computer.
Sir, I am planning to install IM 2" lift kit and going with 265/70 r17 tires on my toyota hilux. Do i need to replace the oem uca? thanks
Same here 😅
No need if we go 2 inches only. On some vehicles getting the proper alignment will be difficult, so we need the UCA. But this is on rare cases.
Asian brands usually use heavy duty Australian springs for light vehicles, so they get over 2 inches lift and suggest the UCA. The bad thing is, their shocks are short, so there is no more sag and ride is horrible. For more info on sag measurement, see the video here:

Sir, if i go for ironman foam cell pro kit for my 2017 wildtrak plus 2” body lift, is a drop kit still required? Can u also let me know what is included in that kit in Philippine market? Thank you in advance.
The foam cell pro kit doesnt need a diff drop kit since its a proper 2 inch kit.

Good day sir. My tires is AMP a/t 265 r20 and I fitted my 4x2 navara with iron man nitro gas. The problem is they fitted the front with iron man B spring. Sobrang tagtag. Na budol din ako putting trust sa talyer na wala ring alam dito sa cebu. Anyways magkano po ba ang A spring sir? Tnx po sa advice
Same price lang naman po. I think you need A springs with 10 or 15mm preload spacers
boss Naka 2inch lift po toyota conquest ko 16x10 -44 offset mags Need poba Upper control arm midyu ma galaw po kasi sa Highway ang manubela.? thanks po
Magalaw yan boss kasi -44. What you can do is install UCA and have it computer aligned. Set caster to 4° or 5° to compensate for the offset.
Are the rear coils for Trailblazer 2016 same as MUX'S?
No sir. The Trailblazer runs a Different rear coil. The inside diameter on the MUX is smaller.
If ever mag upgrade na ako ng uca kahit 2inch lift ako much better kaya para mas solid na set up?
Better adjustability sa camber and caster sir
Sir,im using 265/75/16 tires on my Triton ,lift up 2"..do i need to replace the original upper arm?
Depends if you can still properly computer align your triton.
2 inch lift and 285 70 17 in my hilux revo. Do i need aftermarket UCA?
The main question is, "Could your vehicle be computer aligned? All within specs?" If yes, then you dont need the aftermarket arms.
Si gud pm po. Sir plan ko po mgpalit ng shock absorbers ko po amd cool springs to iron man po to improve more the stability of our car lalo na sa tagtag po. Sir my unit is fortuner 2018 4x2 po. Sir ang UCA maadvice nyo din po nah to for 4x2 po kagaya sa fortuner namin po? Salamat po and God Bless
For the 4x2 Fortuner we can run A springs front and rear since the 4x2 is 100kgs lighter in front, compared than a 4x4. The UCA is only a need if you cannot properly align your car on a computer. More info sir pm us on FB or email me at ironman4x4phils@yahoo.com
@@ironman4x4philippines20 thank you po and God Bless
How about strada sir??its that fits?
Hi Sir, just to confirm.. I dont need to get an aftermarket UCA if its only a 2inch lift - does that stay true if i upgrade from 265 65 r17 to 285 70 r17 tires? if im not mistaken that adds an extra 0.5 inch lift as well? Thanks in advance!
Yes sir. Tire size does not affect the angle of the control arms, and doesnt affect camber and caster. If you are running stock rims on a Toyota Hilux Revo, running 285s on the stock rims will cause the tires to rub the upper arms at full turn, while they will NOT rub on the ProForge arm.
As for your 2 inch lift, just as long as your rig can be computer aligned and get the factory specs for camber and caster, then essentially you dont need the upper arm.
@@ironman4x4philippines20 thank you for your prompt reply. i have a fortuner 2006 and currently running stock on 17s 265 60/ i plan on getting a 17x10 -18 offset on a 285 70 r17.. would that work on my stock UCA?
@@kirkplacides7434 yes it would work wih the stock UCA. The negative (-) offset means the tires will be farther from your UCA. So walang clearance problems. Now the new problem is how to fit the 285s with that offset sa 2 inch lift. It simply wont fit unless you cut and reweld the body mounts, plus/or force the suspension to about 2.5 inches. If you push the suspension to 2.5, you will need a UCA. Be careful of what UCA you will buy, as some dont change the geometry much, plus they run special bushings and balljoints, so maintenance is hard.

Can I install a 3” lift on my FJ using this forged IM uca with 275*70R17 wheels -44mm offset and still achieve corrected alignment/ geometry? Please advise. TIA

If 2" suspension lift for isuzu dmax 2018...do i need to change upper arm
It depends on the following:
1. Did you really get only two inches? The only way to know is a before and after measurement, and measuring the proper sag/droop after.
2. Can you align it properly on a computerized machine?
- if it is a yes on both, then you dont need an upper arm

Hi sir! If you want to regain the original power, plus the original accuracy of your speedometer, odometer, trip computer, fuel mileage meter, a regear would be great. 295s are about 10% larger in diameter, so going up 10% on gearing will bring it back to normal or better.
