Upper Control Arms - The Backbone of Performance
Quick Facts:
- DOM Chromoly tube; 1.5″ X .120″ wall
- 1” sealed rebuildable and greaseable uniballs

JD Fab's Upper Control Arms (UCAs) are a game-changer for your Tacoma's suspension. These UCAs are crafted from DOM tube, known for its exceptional strength and durability. Designed with precision, they come powder-coated in a sleek light grey finish. What truly sets them apart is the use of OEM inner bushings, guaranteeing unmatched reliability and longevity.
The UCAs also feature rebuildable and greaseable sealed inner pivot uniballs. These 1-inch uniballs offer remarkable strength and flexibility, ensuring smooth suspension cycles without any binding. JD Fabrication offers various caster options to cater to different needs, from 0.25″ adjusted caster to 0.75″ for those running stock lower control arm geometry. If you require customizations specific to your build, JD Fab is more than willing to accommodate your request.
Lower Control Arms - Power and Precision
Quick Facts:
- Offered in +2.25″ or +4″
- 1/8″ and 3/16″ Chromoly plate
- Laser-cut and bent for perfect fitment
- 100% welded inside and out
- The pocket feature provides room for CV boot and greater droop
- High clearance design (4″ over stock)
- 1″ sealed uniballs replace factory inner bushings
- 1″ sealed EMF outs uniballs

JD Fab's Lower Control Arms (LCAs) are a testament to their commitment to strength and precision. Designed to withstand the harshest off-road conditions, these LCAs are constructed from 1/8″ and 3/16″ Chromoly plates. Laser-cut and bent with meticulous care, they offer a perfect fitment that exceeds expectations.
The LCAs feature a unique "pocket" design that provides ample room for the outer CV boot, resulting in almost 4" of additional ground clearance compared to stock. This design also allows for exceptional suspension droop, ensuring maximum performance on challenging terrains. They replace the factory inner bushings with 1″ sealed uniballs, guaranteeing long-lasting performance without any worries of wear or squeaking.
934 300M CV Axles - Unleash the Power
One of the weakest points in the Tacoma's stock setup is the CV axles. JD Fabrication offers an upgrade that will revolutionize your off-road experience. The 934 300M CV Axles offer unparalleled strength and performance. These axles feature 934 inner joints that are twice the size of the factory joints, ensuring maximum durability.
JD Fabrication takes the factory inner shafts and machines them in-house to a proprietary laser-cut 934 CV flange. They then TIG weld the shafts inside and out for extreme strength. These 934 joints offer 28 degrees of movement compared to the factory 21 degrees, resulting in reduced CV angle and fewer broken components.
But what makes the 934 300M CV Axles truly remarkable is the use of 300M alloy steel, a material known for its exceptional toughness and ability to withstand high levels of stress. This upgrade will give you the confidence to conquer any trail with ease.
Lower Arm Pivot Kit - Unleash Your Tacoma's Potential
Specs:
- Wider Per Side: 0″
- Tire Size Recommended: 31″-35″

JD Fabrication presents their Lower Arm Pivot Kit, a revolutionary solution to common tire clearance and alignment issues. This kit allows you to maintain proper alignment and tire clearance after lifting your Tacoma without the need to cut or relocate factory components.
By pushing the lower control arms forward, the Lower Arm Pivot Kit provides increased caster and tire clearance, providing the perfect balance between performance and aesthetics. Moreover, this kit strengthens your suspension components, ensuring durability in even the most demanding off-road conditions.
Double Shear Steering Kit - Control and Stability
JD Fabrication offers a Double Shear Steering Kit that adds dual plate gussets to your steering knuckles, enhancing stability and durability. This kit replaces the stock outer rod end with a 3/4″ aurora Heim joint, improving steering precision and strength. With this upgrade, you can tackle any off-road challenge with confidence.
Spindle Gussets - Unyielding Strength
To address the weakness of the factory spindles, JD Fabrication provides a spindle gusset kit. These laser-cut 1/8” plate gussets are designed to reinforce the spindles, preventing them from bending or snapping under extreme off-road conditions. This simple yet effective upgrade will give you the peace of mind you need when tackling challenging trails.
Cans & Brackets for Hydro Bumps - Smooth the Ride
JD Fabrication offers a weld-on hydraulic bump stop kit that ensures a smooth and controlled ride over any terrain. Compatible with 2.0 hydraulic bump stops, this kit includes cans (housing for the bumps) and brackets for seamless installation. Say goodbye to harsh impacts and hello to a comfortable and controlled ride.
Double Shear Upper Control Arms - The Ultimate Reinforcement
JD Fabrication's Double Shear Upper Control Arms (UCAs) take performance to the next level. These precision-cut 3/16″ plates reinforce the coil bucket and provide added strength to the entire suspension system. By reinforcing the connection points, JD Fabrication ensures ultimate durability and reliability in extreme off-road conditions.
Shocks - Finding Your Perfect Match

It's essential to consult with JD Fabrication, YotaMafia, or the shock manufacturer to ensure the perfect fit and performance.
