      Merideth: If you put a 2 to 4-inch lift on your 2007 to 2021 Tundra, and need to swap your upper control arms, these Freedom Off-Road Front Upper Control Arms will be a great solution. Now, when adding a lift to your Tundra, you're changing up a lot of different suspension angles and that can cause induced wear and tear on stock components that aren't meant for that added height and it can end up hurting your handling.Now, this set of control arms will be great for the Tundra owner who needs to do any maintenance if they've already added a lift and experienced that extra wear on their factory arms and one in upper control arm that's going to accommodate for the height that they've added. Now, these are even great as a preventative measure for that extra wear and tear to add onto any 2 to 4-inch lift that you're currently looking at for your Tundra and to gain that better drivability.Now, these will feature a corrected angle specific to 2 to 4 inches of lift to flatten out that angle and help when it comes to stability and handling on the front end for a more comfortable and very controlled driving experience. Now, the corrected angle will help when it comes to alignment and getting more even treadwear out of your tires as well. Now, these will also have a direct fit with an upgraded factory-like construction even with provisions for your ABS and your brake lines so you don't have to worry about modification when it comes to installing these.Now, these will have a 1-1/2-inch steel tube construction with reinforced gusseting to be able to take some off and on-road abuse, two extra gussets down at the mounting locations where that bolt is, and then one up at the ball joint. Now, the steel will also be covered in a black powder coat finish to protect them from rusting down the line, keeping them functioning as brand new. Now, each of these will also come with a durable OE-style pre-greased ball joint and hardened rubber bushings to last through very tough conditions. Again, you're also gonna get new castle nuts and cotter pins as well as hardware for the brake lines, making sure that you have everything that you need for a straightforward installation.When it comes to price, these are gonna be generally affordable compared to other high-performance options at about $425 for the kit. Now, comparing these to other choices on the page, these will keep it very straightforward when it comes to the design and build, which I personally think works very well. Now, they have a solid construction and are more of that OE-style option that would work in the 2 to 4-inch range rather than getting very technical with a bunch of adjustability and added features. Now, I think if you don't wanna get too complicated and you still wanna keep it pretty affordable but want a quality set that works great for your Tundra, then this is going to be a great choice.Now, when it comes to install, this will get a tougher two out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, taking you about two hours to get the job done with the correct hand tools and setup. Now, one of our installers here is gonna show you how to do that step by step. So that is going to wrap it up for me. Let's head over to the shop and check out the install.Man: For this install, you will need a pry bar, impact, 3/8 sockets, swivel adapter, 10, 12, and 19-millimeter sockets, a clip removal tool, two 22-millimeter wrenches, and a ball joint service tool. What's up, guys? Today, we're going to be installing a set of upper control arms on our Tundra. Now one thing to note for these control arms, they are specific to 2 to 4-inch lift kits.So, if you are installing a 2 to 4-inch lift leveling kit, these would be what you need for greater articulation in the ball joint. However, because the mechanical process is exactly the same for stock or these, we're going to show you simply how to uninstall your factory setup and install the new control arms without installing a leveling kit as it is no different between the two.So, now we've got our wheels off and we're ready to get started removing a couple of things and we're going to start by removing our bracket on our factory control arm using our 10-millimeter socket on our ratchet. We're gonna go ahead and pop this off. And then once we have that out of the way, we'll go ahead and thread our mounting bolt back in a couple of threads just to keep it in place.So, after that's done, we can go ahead and pop this bracket open and take our ABS wire out of them just for some extra room for flex when we take this bracket off. And we're going to go ahead and use our 12-millimeter socket on our ratchet to remove this bracket on our knuckle. We'll crack that loose. We'll push that to the side. We'll go ahead and place our 12-mil bolt back in the knuckle, few threads, just to keep track of it.Now we got that free, everything's loose, no tension. Next, we'll go ahead and remove the nut for our ball joint to our upper control arm using our 19-mil socket and swivel adapter on our impact. And once we have that off, we'll go ahead and thread it back on a few threads, just so when we pop it out of the knuckle it'll catch it. So, now we've got our ball joint service tool here and we're going to slip that over our knuckle, like so. Sometimes it's a little tight. You want to work that in and then your threaded anvil part will go directly onto your stud for your ball joint, like so. And we'll get that tight. Then we'll take our 3/8 ratchet and get that onto our service tool here and we'll start tightening it.Now, you wanna keep in mind that you are going to put this under pressure, so safety glasses and keeping your face away from dangerous parts is important. And then after tightening it, it pops right out just like so. Go ahead and loosen that back up. Take that off. So, now we'll go ahead and grab our pry bar. We'll go ahead and release the pressure on our upper control arm. Take our ball joint nut fully off. And try not to get your pry bar stuck. Then it should just pop out just like so. We can go ahead and work our control arm out. Leave our knuckle to the side here. Now one thing to note, if you don't still have your tie rod end in and you do want to support your knuckle so it doesn't fall out too far and pull your axle out of the housing or your boots or anything like that but with your tie rod end still in, it'll be just fine.So now that we have that out, we can go ahead and remove our fabric covers here around the edges of our control arms and suspension. So, we'll grab our clip removal tool, I'll pop this back one off first. Just kind of get it in underneath the fabric and pop these clips out. Now, this one you only really have to partially remove it and just fold it back. And for our front one here, we have our one clip on the side, we'll pop that out. And you can just take a few off and tuck this out of the way because remember it is fabric, very flimsy. So, now we have access to our upper control arm bolt. So our head is on here and our nut is on this other side. It is a single pass-through bolt and you will need two 22-millimeter wrenches to access this and loosen it.Now don't be surprised if from the factory these are super tight and you may need to use a breaker bar and wrestle this thing out. So we'll go ahead and get our 22-millimeter wrenches in place. You want to be mindful of your brake lines and everything else that is around here so you don't damage anything. Now, we'll get our wrenches on here and go ahead and get this thing loose. Once your nut reaches a certain point, you should just be able to turn it off by hand once it pops loose. We'll go ahead and fully remove our nut and washer. Set those aside.Now, to get this bolt out you do have space running up through here alongside the body of your truck. It is kind of a pain. You do need to wrestle it a little. But we'll go ahead and lift the tension off of the control arm and start sliding our bolt through. Now, you want to keep your washer back flush with your control arm because it will not fit through where the head of your bolt is going. Just keep working it out. Go ahead and get our control arm and bolt out. We'll pull our bolt and washer out of our control arm so we can use this for our new one. And then once you have this process completed for this side, you can go ahead and repeat these same steps for your other side.So now we're ready to go on with our new control arm. So we're going to reuse our factory hardware, our pass-through bolt. So, to start, we're going to go ahead and just get it through our first bushing here, the mounting point, and get our washer close to in place. And we're going to fish our bolt up through into here where it came out. So, we'll get our bolt passed up through next to our body and our control arm kind of in position here and then this will take a little finagling. We'll go ahead and line it up. Now it will be a little bit of a tight squeeze to get your control arm onto the mount. Then once you have it lined up, you can send your bolt through, just work it all the way through the pass-through section, making sure the head doesn't get caught.We'll get it through the other side and then we'll grab our factory washer and nut and reinstall that. Go ahead and get our washer in place here, followed by our factory 22-mil nut. So, we'll get our factory nut threaded back on here. It'll go pretty far by hand so it starts getting snug. Then we'll grab our wrenches. Again, two 22-millimeter wrenches. And we want to put our control arm up a bit so it'll go back into the knuckle. And have range of motion while we're trying to tighten it. So, for now, we're just gonna get the control arm snug enough to where it doesn't really move much so we can get our knuckle back into position and have a little bit of tension on it. But you do not wanna fully tighten down your control arm until you've preloaded your suspension with your wheels back on so you don't tear any of your bushings inside of your control arm mounts or anything like that just to keep everything safe.So, now we've got our control arm snug down, we'll go ahead and get our knuckle into position and send our ball joint stud through our knuckle. Now these are pretty stiff out of the box as far as ball joints go. So, you want to get it lined up as best you can by hand. And you may need to grab your pry bar again, kind of persuade it down into position. And while holding tension, you can go ahead and grab your provided ball joint castle nut, get that threaded on. That way it will hold it into position and then we can go ahead and tighten that down.Now we'll go ahead and use our 19-millimeter socket and swivel adapter again on our impact to tighten this down. And to fully tighten it down you always want to refer to the manufacturer of torque spec for anything you're tightening suspension-wise. We'll go ahead and get this seated. All right. Now that's pretty tight. We can go ahead and add our cotter pin through our castle nut. Now we'll go ahead and grab our provided cotter pin, send that through our stud. Now, there's no real wrong way to bend a cotter pin back or seat it. You can do it however you prefer as long as it bends back over and blocks the nut from threading out. It's doing its job. I'll just go ahead and give that a little bend for now just for demonstration. You can do it around the nut, over the stud, whichever way you prefer.So now we can go ahead and get our brackets back into place on our knuckle and control arm. We'll go ahead and take our 12-mil nut back off for our brake line bracket here. We'll get our bracket back into position, reinstall our bolts, and we'll go ahead and tighten that back down using our 12-mil socket on our ratchet. That one down, and we'll go ahead and remove this lock nut off of the provided stud for our upper brake line mount on our control arm. We'll get that into position and we'll go ahead and get our lock nut back on. Now we can tighten that down using our 10-millimeter socket on our ratchet.Now the factory bracket does have this little locator ear which this control arm does not have a slot for. So now we'll go ahead and tighten this 10-millimeter lock nut down for our factory bracket on our new control arm. Now, one thing to note here is your factory bracket does have a locator ear on it which the new control arm does not have a position for. So you can kind of turn it out of the way and just get it on the inside radius of your control arm and tighten it down using our 10-millimeter socket on our ratchet. Now, you want to make sure your lines don't get too twisted, like so. As long as there's no tension on them, should be good to go.So, once you've completed this process for this side, you can go ahead and repeat these same steps for your other side. So, once you have both of your control arms on and everything's buttoned up and we have everything taken care of, we can go ahead and replace our fabric covers. So, we'll just simply relocate our plastic clips here, push those back into position, pop them in, and these all back. There we go. And you can do the same thing for the other side.So now we've got our wheels back on and the truck's lowered to the ground and our suspension is now preloaded. So now we can go back in and fully tighten down our control arm bolt. So, again, we'll grab our 22-millimeter wrenches. Now, again, you always want to refer to your manufacturer torque spec for all of your suspension components. And we'll go ahead and get in here and get this fully tightened. Nice and snug. Then we can go ahead and do the same thing for the other side.Alrighty guys, that about wraps up our review and install of our Freedom Off-Road Front Upper Control Arms for a 2 to 4-Inch Lift Kit for the '07 to '21 Tundra. Thanks for watching. And as always, for everything Tundra, keep it right here at extremeterrain.com.
