Lifted Tacomas built for real trail use quickly outgrow their factory upper control arms. The stock arms limit down travel, wear ball joints out faster under trail stress, and cause alignment problems that eat tires. The ICON Toyota Tacoma Billet Upper Control Arm Delta Joint kit for 2005 to 2023 Tacoma solves all of that at once. CNC machined from 6061 aluminum billet and built around ICON's patented Delta Joint pivot, this upper control arm kit unlocks better articulation, cleaner alignment, and longer service life for lifted trucks running serious tires.

Why the ICON Toyota Tacoma Billet Upper Control Arm Delta Joint Kit Is a Smart Upgrade

Adding a coilover lift without upgrading the upper control arms creates a chain of problems. The stock arms bind at full droop, which limits how much travel your new shocks can actually deliver. They also pull alignment out of range on lifted trucks, which makes proper caster and camber setup difficult or impossible. The ICON billet UCAs fix both issues by giving you more travel room and adjustable alignment sleeves, so your lifted Tacoma finally drives the way the suspension was designed to.

CNC Machined 6061 Aluminum Billet Construction

Each arm is CNC machined from a 6061 aluminum billet, the same material grade used in serious motorsport and aerospace parts. The result is a control arm that is lighter than factory steel, strong enough to survive real trail abuse, and dimensionally accurate down to the fastener holes. Reduced unsprung weight also translates into faster shock response and better ride quality, so the upgrade shows up in feel as well as function.

Patented ICON Delta Joint Pivot

The heart of the design is the ICON Delta Joint (U.S. Patent 10,731,700). It is a heavy-duty, high-angle ball joint that blends the durability of a traditional sealed ball joint with the wide articulation range usually only found in exposed uniball setups. That combination is important because uniballs wear out fast when dust, sand, salt water, and trail debris get into them, which is exactly what Hawaii driving throws at every truck. The Delta Joint stays sealed and quiet while still giving you the angle range needed for full travel.

Sealed and Greaseable for Long Service Life

A zinc-plated housing, a tough grease seal, and an O-ring sealed Delta Joint cap keep water, dust, and salt out of the pivot. The metal-on-metal design is greaseable, which lets you extend service life dramatically with basic maintenance instead of full joint replacements. For Hawaii Tacoma owners running beach access routes and coastal roads, that sealed and serviceable design pays off in real money over the life of the truck.

PTFE Lined FK Rod Ends and Adjustable Alignment

The arm uses high quality PTFE lined 3/4 inch FK rod ends paired with machined adjuster sleeves. That combination allows for vehicle alignment adjustments, giving you precise control over caster and camber without pulling the arms off the truck. Alignment shops love this setup because they can dial in the specs the truck actually needs after a lift, which reduces tire wear and improves overall handling.

Matte Anodized Finish for Corrosion Protection

The arms are finished in a matte anodize that resists corrosion from Hawaii's salt air, rain, and trail spray. Anodizing bonds into the aluminum surface rather than sitting on top like paint or powder, which means the finish stays intact even under stone chip impacts and constant weather exposure. The arms look clean for years and hold their structural integrity throughout the life of the build.

Extended Travel and Better Ride Feel

Paired with ICON extended travel coilovers, these UCAs unlock more usable droop travel, which translates directly into a more compliant ride on rough roads and better tire contact on trails. The truck feels more planted at highway speed, handles washboard sections without skipping, and lifts a wheel less often on off-camber sections. Even without extended travel coilovers, the arms improve alignment and articulation over factory arms on any lifted Tacoma.

Wheel and Tire Recommendations

The upper control arms are compatible with OEM wheels and tires as well as several ICON Alloys sizes. Recommended options include ICON Alloys 17x8.5 with 0mm offset and 4.75 inch backspace, 18x9 with 0mm offset and 5.00 inch backspace, and 20x9 with 0mm offset and 5.00 inch backspace. Tire size up to 33x11.50 inch is recommended without extra work, and larger tires may fit with trimming or additional modifications, depending on the build.

Lift Range Compatibility

The arms work across a range of front lift heights. The 2005 to 2015 Tacoma models, they are compatible with 0 to 3.5 inches of front lift over stock. For the 2016 to 2023 Tacoma models, they are compatible with 0 to 2.75 inches of front lift over stock. Match the arm to your lift height and coilover setup for the best combination of travel, alignment range, and clearance.

Important Fitment Notes

These arms are designed to work with OE spindles only. Do not install them with any aftermarket spindles, as the geometry will not match and the setup will not perform as designed. They also do not fit 2005 to 2015 2WD 5-lug Tacoma models. Confirming your model, drivetrain, and lift setup before ordering makes sure the parts land on the right truck the first time.
