I am currently shopping for some extended upper control arms for my 2011 ranger. It’s on a small lift that’s mostly body, but also a torsion twist.
That being said, the driver side upper control arm is at max adjustment and still has 1-1.5° of negative camber.
I just threw (last year) some $1000 tires on there and don’t want them to get all chewed up.
So my question to you folks…. Are there any decent extended upper control arms or is there a remedy for the issue I am having.?
Which do you prefer and why?

BTF fab makes some extended upper arms for this gen Ranger, but they ain't cheap at almost $900. If that money now safew you from a few sets of tires later, then the might be worth it. From their site:

"They are slightly longer than stock arms to fix negative camber issues associated with lift kits. "

No idea if they are right length for your scenario since you've got a TT instead of a lift kit. Between those and the adjusters, it might fix your camber.

Not sure if any other companies are still offering something similar.
 
Bumping an old thread instead of starting a new one.

Looking for the same thing.

Extended or "high offset" upper control arms for a 2011 4WD.

Aftermarket keys, and a little crank in them to even everything out and at static load the UCA is almost contacting the frame and the upper ball joint is at an unhappy angle.

I know there were a number of companies that made them for the GMT 400 / 800 series torsion bar suspension front ends ...
