I have an eibach pro truck kit on order and I'm looking to get and upper control arm kit to accommodate 3in to 3 and 1/2 inches of lift. Also looking for a cheap route so it looks like rough country make some for $299. Someone said most upper control arms are made for aluminum spindles, which I never heard.. but I do have cast spindles. BTW, I don't off road.

There is a possibility that it will work. Also even though you dont go offroad you need to ask yourself if you are towing and when you put stuff in the bed. Why do I mention this? Because it will bring the bed down and the light into the sky instead of the road. With that said i would suggest not bringing the front up that high without lifting the rear.

Be aware that the Rangers now have two different types of spindles. Silver (aluminum) ones from the 2019-2020 models and black (iron) spindles for some 2020's- all 2021s

There is a difference in the opening where the UCA bolts into the spindle between each, the black spindles are tighter so alot of the UCA options out there wont work. I saw someone on the Ranger FB page recently who bought Icon UCA's he had to send back bc they didn't fit his black spindles.

I almost had this issue, but I caught it before I installed them. The only company I know of making spindles for the black spindles is Camburg. They Include lower uniball spacers for the silver and black spindles. Most other companies, that I'm aware of, making UCAs WILL NOT fit the black spindles.
