Features
- Restores geometry after a lift: Arm length and mount position set caster and pinion angle, and these parts bring them back into range at the lifted ride height.
- Adjustable length: Alpine arms adjust in length, so you can set them to the measurements in TeraFlex's instructions and dial in the alignment.
- 42mm x 4mm wall DOM tube: TeraFlex builds the short arms from 42mm DOM tubing with a 4mm wall, sized for rocks and hard use.
- Bolts to the factory mounts: No welding needed: the arms bolt to the factory control arm brackets.
- Factory-style bushings: Maintenance-free factory-style bushings damp noise, vibration and harshness for a quiet ride.
- Rated for 0-4.5" of lift: Made for the Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT with up to 4.5" of lift; TeraFlex requires an alignment afterward.
Description & Fitment
TeraFlex makes the Alpine short control arm kit, part 1417500, to fit the 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator JT. The kit contains all eight arms, front and rear, upper and lower with quiet, maintenance-free factory-style bushings. Rated for 0-4.5" of lift, it uses the factory mounting brackets. Gladiator rear and 8-arm kits are their own parts; the Wrangler JL equivalent is 1416610. Replacing every arm lets you set caster, pinion angles and axle placement front and rear in one job. It does not include springs, shocks or track bars, and TeraFlex requires an alignment after install.

About TeraFlex
TERAFLEX.
TeraFlex describes itself as a Jeep company at heart, started and staffed by people who drive them. It designs, engineers and builds suspension systems, shocks, axles and performance parts, with the Wrangler and Gladiator at the center of the range.
The company traces its roots to the 1950s and MEPCO (Military Equipment Parts Company), an early supplier of Jeep parts. TeraFlex Manufacturing followed in 1996 to build heavy-duty suspension for the TJ Wrangler, and today's catalog runs from full lift systems and the Falcon shock line to axles, steering and armor.
Authorized TeraFlex dealer. Prestige Truck is an authorized TeraFlex dealer, so what we sell is new and genuine TeraFlex. In TeraFlex's words, its limited warranty extends "only to the consumer who originally purchased the product," so keep your receipt with your build records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator JT?
Yes, if your Jeep matches the fitment table and sits within 0-4.5" of lift. If you're unsure, send us your VIN and we'll check.
What length do I set the arms to?
TeraFlex's instructions list starting lengths by position and lift height. Set the arms to those, then have the Jeep aligned.
Do I need new control arms after a lift?
Lifting a Jeep changes caster and pinion angle. TeraFlex sizes each kit for a lift range: preset Sport arms and Sport frame brackets suit moderate lifts, while adjustable Alpine arms let you set the length for your exact height. Plan on an alignment after any control arm change.
What is the difference between Alpine and Alpine IR?
Both are adjustable-length arms. Alpine arms use maintenance-free factory-style bushings; Alpine IR arms use TeraFlex IR (Independent Rotation) bushings, which rotate freely so the arm binds less as the suspension flexes.
Short arms or long arms?
Short arms bolt to the factory mounts and TeraFlex rates them for 0-4.5" of lift. Long arm kits are for JL Wranglers with 3-6" of lift and need the factory control arm brackets cut off the frame to fit the long arm brackets, so they are a much bigger job.
Can I replace just one pair?
Yes. Arms are sold by position as well as in 8-arm kits. TeraFlex's instructions say that if you replace a single pair to correct caster and pinion angle, it recommends the lower arms.

AfterwardAlignment required
Here's the short version. Follow TeraFlex's install sheet (below) for your Jeep's exact steps and torque values.
- With the Jeep on the ground, remove the sway bar link bolts at the axle and swap the front lower shock bolts with the lower sway bar link bolts.
- Front lowers, one at a time: remove the brake line brackets from the arm, then the frame-side and axle-side bolts.
- Bolt the fixed end of the Alpine arm to the frame with the sticker facing out, finger-tight, loosen the clamp, extend the arm to the recommended length (p11) and bolt it into the axle mount.
- Front uppers: remove the axle-side bolt and the frame-side heat shield and bolt (crank the arm toward the engine to clear the exhaust if the bolt hangs up), set the arm to length and install it with the heat shield.
- Rear lowers and uppers: swap one at a time, setting each Alpine arm to the recommended length before bolting it in (lowers fixed end at the axle, uppers fixed end at the frame).
- Leave every arm loose until the end, then torque the control arm bolts and clamp bolts as printed.

Game changer on the trail
Made my 392 a whole new experience on the trail!!!

Worth the Money
Bought after hearing so many great things about the IR bushings and their longevity, could definitely see more flex opposed to using stock arms. For anyone running under 4.5" of lift, this is the way to go.

Installed on 2020 Jeep 4d Rubicon
Installed on 2020 Jeep 4d Rubicon with a TeraFlex 3.5 inch lift. Completed install in my driveway with jack stands. It was a little difficult to torque the nuts due to body position. Otherwise, all parts fit perfectly, no issues at all. Product is very well made and allowed me to adjust the pinion angel and wheel base. The instructions were pretty good as well. I would have preferred to know the end torque value rather than torque plus add degrees (i.e. 74ft lbs + 185 degrees).
