Made To Match Your Truck

Pick your finishes so it looks like it came with the build, not like it got bolted on after.

Builds Are Defined By Details

The wheels and the lift get noticed first. The details are what people remember.

Built To Our Standard

Cut, formed, welded, and finished in our own shop in East Tennessee. We don't ship what we wouldn't run.

No Wrap, No Hop

Your axle wants to rotate under load. These hold it steady, so the rear end stays planted instead of chattering.

20+ GM 2500/3500 Upper Control Arm

$649.95

"You can have any color you want, so long as it's black."

That worked for Henry Ford in 1908.

But it doesn't work in 2025.

The industry standard? Basic black.

Want something different? You know the drill: Buy the kit. Wait for delivery. Find a powder coater. Wait another 2 weeks. Hope they get it right.

We built TSO because we were tired of that BS.

The TSO Upper Control Arms are the first bolt-on upper control arms built your way—12 premium colors, complete custom options, two-tone capability—shipped direct from our Blountville, TN facility.

No waiting. No cutting. No settling.

Just a custom suspension setup that turns heads and breaks necks before you even drop the tailgate.

3" WITHOUT THE HACK JOB.

Them: Want 3" of lift? Great. Grab the angle grinder and cut your frame up. Hope you measured right.
Us: Engineered clearance directly into the control arm. True bolt-on installation. No cutting. No fab work. No regrets.

3-hour DIY install. Zero permanent modifications.

The interactive truck builder shows you exactly what your setup will look like—in real time—before you order.

Pick your base color. Choose your overlay. Add FOX shocks. Watch your truck come to life.

No guessing. No hoping. Just your custom build, rendered on your screen.

What's included

20+ GM 2500/3500 Tube Traction Bars

Everything Else Under There Is Hidden For A Reason

It was drawn to do a job, not to be looked at. Nobody sees your shocks or your u-bolts, so it never mattered what they looked like. Traction bars are the one thing down there people actually see.

Suspension You Don't Have To Hide

Two colors, standard on every bar — your paint and polished, or your paint and an accent. Same colors you're already running on your wheels and everything else you've done. You're building a truck, not buying a part.

A Saturday, Not A Shop Visit

The axle end replaces your factory u-bolt bracket. At the frame, factory holes get used where they line up, and at least one gets drilled and tapped. Two to three hours start to finish.
