The Best Upgrade for Your 2005 Tacoma Suspension Lift Kit
When it comes to suspension upgrades for the Toyota Tacoma, we know there’s one component that should never be overlooked: upper control arms. At Locked Offroad, we proudly carry the 2005+ Tacoma SPC Upper Control Arms, specifically designed for the 2005–2023 Tacoma. These control arms aren’t just another replacement part; they're the perfect match for lifted setups that demand reliability, performance, and alignment precision.
After installing a lift, your truck’s factory geometry changes. This often results in poor alignment, reduced tire life, and limited suspension travel. That’s where SPC Upper Control Arms come in. They restore correct alignment specs, improve wheel articulation, and allow your suspension system to perform the way it was meant to, especially under load or in off-road situations.
As part of our carefully curated product line, the SPC Upper Control Arms represent our commitment to offering parts that are field-tested and trail-proven. Whether you're building out your truck for serious off-roading, prepping for long-distance overland travel, or just want dependable performance on and off the pavement, we trust this kit to deliver every time.
Why SPC Control Arms?
Upgrading your factory upper control arms is a smart move when adding a lift to your Tacoma. Factory arms simply aren't engineered to handle the demands of modified suspension geometry. That’s where SPC Upper Control Arms come in.
With heavy-duty ball joints and a high-angle design, these arms offer improved articulation and alignment correction critical for maintaining drivability and tire life after lifting. And because they’re designed with adventure in mind, they’re built to withstand the abuse of rugged trails, uneven terrain, and whatever else the road throws at you.
We choose SPC because of their reputation for quality, innovation, and long-lasting performance. Their arms are engineered with precision, ensuring compatibility with lifted setups without compromising ride quality or handling.

Who It’s For
We created our suspension line with real drivers in mind, people like us who spend weekends exploring backcountry trails, tackling rocky switchbacks, or just wanting a more confident daily drive. This product is a must-have if:
You've installed a suspension lift on your 2005–2023 Tacoma

SPC Upper Control Arms are for Tacoma owners who demand more than just average performance. If you’re serious about improving your lifted truck’s handling and safety, this upgrade is essential.
Key Features and Benefits
Let’s break down why these upper control arms make a real difference:
Adjustable Alignment
These control arms come with adjustable ball joints, giving you up to +/-2 degrees of camber and 0 to +4 degrees of caster adjustment. That means no more struggling with alignment after lifting your truck.
High-Angle Ball Joints
Designed for lifted trucks, the high-angle ball joints allow for greater range of motion. This means better off-road articulation and fewer limitations when you hit uneven terrain.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Built with durability in mind, SPC control arms are forged from strong, corrosion-resistant materials. They’re tough enough to take on off-road abuse, harsh weather, and daily driving.
Maintenance-Friendly
Each ball joint is greasable and replaceable, so you’re not locked into a single-use part. That makes long-term maintenance simple and cost-effective.
OEM Fitment
Installation is straightforward because these arms are built to OE dimensions. No cutting, welding, or guessing just bolt them in and go.
Who Gains the Most
The benefits of SPC Upper Control Arms stretch far and wide. Whether you're a hardcore off-road enthusiast or someone who just added a lift to your Tacoma for aesthetics or daily performance, these control arms will improve how your vehicle handles, steers, and tracks.
You’ll benefit most if:
You frequently take your Tacoma off-road and want maximum articulation
You’ve noticed poor alignment or handling after lifting your truck
You want a long-term suspension solution instead of a temporary fix
You care about protecting your tire investment by ensuring proper alignment
Our customers tell us that after upgrading to these arms, their trucks not only ride better but feel more controlled, especially under load or in technical terrain.
