Default ICON Upper control arms capatability

Hi, for those that have ICON Upper control arms, will this work with my stock 2011 F-150 Platinum? I have the stock 20" Platinum rims with stock tires. It is not lifted and is at stock height. I am planning to install the Fox 2.5 coilovers but won't be lifting it.


I know Camburg UCA will NOT fit with the stock 20" rims, but ICON's website states it will work with stock rims. I don't know if they have tested with the Platinum Rims or just the standard stock rims.


Thanks for your help.

I know they work with the FX4 20's. Not sure of the platinum spec's, but if there are the same or nearly identical then should not be an issue.

All 20" Ford wheels reguardless of what they come on have the same apes.

I also have a question for the OP. Why the 2.5s if keeping at stock height. Also why UCA?

I want the option to lift and not lift. I do some heavy towing ( ~7k - 8k lbs) and don't want the headlights pointed up in the sky at night blinding people. Currently at stock setup, when I tow, the truck sits level. That is when I will keep it "stock" height. Offroading or maybe normal driving, I may level it.


If the 20" FX4 rims work with the ICON UCA's, hopefully, it will fit the 20" Platinum rims.. Hoping someone that has done it can verify.

If they work with FX wheels they WILL work with Platinum 20"s.

Does anyone know of any upper control arms that will fit the factory 20s with wider tires. I'm running a 11.8 inch wide tire on the factory 20s with about 1/4-1/8 of an inch clearance between the tires and the stock upper control arms.(Just in case any one is wondering they are 295/60r20 nitro ridge grapplers). My goal is to find an upper control arm that has a similar profile to the oem meaning they do not stick out a whole lot where the ball joint is. I do not want to run spacers on my wheels.

Here are some pics of the gap between my Icon UCAs and my 275/60R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires; I'm running factory 20" wheels without spacers.

I really wanna say that 275 is about as wide as you will get with stock wheels. Maybe maybe 285 but I think it would also depend on what sort of sidewall tread is on there
