UTV A-Arms & Control Arms

UTV A-Arms Built for High Clearance and More Ground Clearance

A-arms are the most common style of UTV control arm, and this collection covers both the classic A-arm design and the boxed upper and lower control arms built for harder use. Stock A-arms are built to meet factory specs, not to push what your machine can handle on the trail. When you're running bigger tires, tackling aggressive terrain, or trying to clear rocks and obstacles that would otherwise damage your lower control arms, an upgrade changes the equation. High-clearance A-arms give your UTV the additional clearance it needs to ride over terrain that stops a stock setup cold. Products like SuperATV's high-clearance 1.5" forward offset A-arms for the Polaris RZR XP 1000 deliver 1.5 inches of extra ground clearance through a bend design, with room for up to 34" tires without a lift kit. The 2" forward-offset version for the same machine adds 1.5 inches of ground clearance and extends the wheelbase by 2 inches, with room for up to 33" tires. Either way, that added clearance keeps your axles, ball joints, and bushings out of harm's way on rough terrain.

Heavy-duty construction matters just as much as geometry. Brands like SuperATV, CA Technologies, CT Race Worx, L&W Fab, ORB Fabrication, and High Lifter build their UTV A-arms with reinforced construction using thicker steel tubing than stock, engineered to handle aggressive riding while maintaining stability under load. The CA Technologies Can-Am Maverick X3 lower boxed control arms and CT Race Worx Can-Am Maverick X3 boxed high clearance lower A-arms cover the Can-Am side of the collection, while High Lifter offers forward upper and lower control arms for machines like the Can-Am Maverick X3 and Polaris Ranger. A wide range of Polaris RZR, Polaris Ranger, RZR Pro, and RZR Turbo fitments rounds out the rest of the category. Forward offset designs extend the wheelbase for more stability and room for larger tires. ZBroz Racing's camber-adjustable kit for the RZR RS1 and ORB Fabrication's long arm options push further for riders who want to match full suspension upgrade performance.

FAQ

What is the difference between UTV A-arms and control arms, and why upgrade from stock?

There is no real difference. "Control arm" is the general term for the arm that connects the wheel hub to the frame, and an A-arm is a control arm shaped like the letter A. UTV A-arms are the suspension control arms that connect your wheels to the frame and manage wheel movement through suspension travel. Stock arms are built to factory clearance specs, which limits ground clearance and tire size. Aftermarket A-arms, especially high-clearance designs, give you more room for bigger tires, better suspension performance, and stronger components that hold up under hard riding.

How much ground clearance do high clearance A-arms add?

Most high clearance A-arms add between 1.5 and 2 inches of increased ground clearance depending on the design and vehicle fitment. For example, SuperATV's high clearance 1.5" forward offset A-arms for the Polaris RZR XP 1000 deliver 1.5 inches of additional clearance through a dual-bend design, while the RZR XP Turbo version of the same arm delivers up to 2 inches of additional clearance.

Do I need a lift kit if I install high clearance A-arms?

No. High clearance A-arms are designed to provide extra ground clearance and tire room through the arm's bend geometry rather than by raising the machine's body. For most riders who want bigger tires and more clearance, high clearance a-arms handle the upgrade without the added complexity of a lift kit, though pairing a-arms with a lift is an option for riders who want maximum clearance.

What UTV brands do these a-arms fit?

Fueled UTV carries a-arms for Polaris RZR, Polaris Ranger, Can-Am Maverick, Can-Am Defender, and Honda Talon, among others. Specific models include the RZR XP 1000, RZR Pro XP, RZR Turbo, RZR RS1, Can-Am Maverick X3, Can-Am Defender, and more. Use the vehicle selector at the top of the page to filter by your machine.

What is forward offset on a UTV A-arm?

Forward offset moves the wheel mounting point forward relative to the stock position, extending the wheelbase for more stability on hills and uneven terrain and creating clearance for larger tires. On the SuperATV 2" forward offset a-arms for the Polaris RZR XP 1000, for example, the 2" offset extends the wheelbase by 2 inches and provides room for up to 33" tires, while also delivering 1.5 inches of extra ground clearance through the arm's bend design.

What brands of UTV A-arms does Fueled UTV carry?

The collection includes SuperATV, CA Technologies, CT Race Worx, L&W Fab, ORB Fabrication, ZBroz Racing, HCR Suspension, High Lifter, and others. Each brand covers different build styles and vehicle fitments, from boxed lower control arms for the Can-Am Maverick X3 to long travel kits and camber-adjustable setups for Polaris RZR models.

Will high clearance a-arms work with my existing axles and ball joints?

It depends on the specific A-arm design and fitment. Many high-clearance A-arms are designed to work with stock axles, while longer-wheelbase and forward-offset kits may require upgraded axles to match the new geometry. Some manufacturers, including High Lifter, also offer to install ball joints before shipping so the kit arrives ready to install. Check the product fitment details or contact the Fueled UTV team before ordering if you have questions about compatibility with your current components.
