Conquer Any Terrain with CORE 4X4’s Crawl Series Lift Kit

Elevate your off-road experience with CORE 4X4’s Crawl Series Lift Kit, designed specifically for Jeep JT Gladiator models. Engineered for extreme off-roading, this kit empowers you to conquer the toughest trails with unmatched strength, precision, and durability.

Key Features Benefits

  • 4.5" Lift for Extreme Off-Roading – Gain significant ground clearance to tackle rugged terrain and accommodate larger tires, ensuring you overcome obstacles with ease.
  • Heavy-Duty Control Arms – All 8 Crawl Series adjustable control arms ensure maximum strength and precise suspension articulation, built to withstand extreme off-road conditions.
  • Adjustable Track Bars – Front and rear Crawl Series track bars maintain optimal axle alignment, providing superior stability and control in aggressive off-road situations.
  • Triple Rate Coil Springs – Delivers superior ride quality and improved suspension travel, adapting to varying terrains for enhanced comfort and control.
  • High-Performance Shock Absorbers – Matched to the lift height, these shocks provide exceptional damping control, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride over rough terrain.
  • Extended Brake Hoses – Accommodates increased suspension travel while ensuring consistent and reliable braking performance during extreme off-road use.
  • Raised Rear Track Bar Bracket – Corrects roll center and enhances handling for improved suspension geometry and stability.
  • Front and Rear Extended Sway Bar Endlinks – Enhances handling and stability, reducing body roll and improving control.

Important Notes

The CORE 4X4 Steering Kit add-on is over-the-knuckle and requires minor drilling for installation. Necessary hardware and an additional front track bar relocation bracket are included.

Lift heights are based on Rubicon models with average builds (bumpers, winch, spare tire) other models and builds will achieve slightly different lift heights.

For Mojave owners: If you would like to retain the factory shocks, select the optional shock extensions before adding to cart. Factory bump stops are not affected with this kit. 

A new front driveshaft is required with our 4.5" JT Lift kit. The factory driveshaft will be over-extended and cause damage. We have two options available to add to your kit, or order your own, but do not use your factory shaft with this kit!

Lift kits are sourced from multiple trusted partners and will ship from different locations.

Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating

To ensure long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance, all steel components undergo a two-stage powder coating process. A zinc primer base coat provides rust protection, while a durable topcoat is available in 10 color options, allowing you to personalize your build.

Made in the USA

Proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in Orem, UT, ensuring top-tier craftsmanship, strict quality control, and long-term reliability.

Tire Fitment

  • Fits up to 40" tires with stock fenders.

I don’t write reviews often, but Core 4x4 absolutely earned this one. I recently ordered leaf spring mounts and realized after the fact that I messed up my order. Totally my mistake. Instead of giving me the runaround or pointing at a return policy, Core 4x4 emailed me back and forth, worked through exactly what I was doing with my build, and made sure I ended up with the correct parts. That kind of customer service is rare these days — especially in the off-road world where a lot of companies stop caring once the order is placed. The parts themselves are exactly what you hope for: solid, well-made, confidence-inspiring hardware that looks like it belongs under a vehicle that actually gets used. You can tell these are designed by people who understand suspension geometry and real-world abuse, not just CAD screenshots. Mistakes happen — especially on custom or modified builds — and Core 4x4 handled mine like pros. Fast responses, clear communication, and a genuine effort to help me get it right. If you’re on the fence: don’t be. Core 4x4 is the kind of company you want backing your build — the kind that treats customers like fellow enthusiasts, not order numbers.

I’m extremely impressed with Core 4x4. The quality of their parts is outstanding — everything feels solid, well‑built, and engineered with real attention to detail. Shipping was fast and everything arrived perfectly packaged. Their customer service is just as good as their products: responsive, helpful, and genuinely committed to making sure you get exactly what you need. Overall, a top‑tier experience. I’ll definitely be buying from them again. Specially thank you Mr. Linscomb from Core 4x4. Arturo M.

Best control arms I have installed on any of my builds. After running every major manufacturer, Core 4x4 is on par or better than all the high-end companies at a fraction of the cost. Lifetime warranty is the cherry on top.

upper control arms look great and went on easy.. only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because of a shipping issue which put my build a week behind. The issue was resolved quickly and painlessly, great customer service. Only time will tell how control arms perform but they look great and like they will go above and beyond control arm demand.

I ordered the jeep xj long arm lift kit. Control arms showed up first they turned out amazing!! Had some issues with the powder coating on the cross member and sent korby and the team at core4x4 an email. They got right on making me another cross member and sending it out. I appreciate all the help they've given me along the way. Very fast response thru emails. Build quality seems to be pretty dang nice!! Can't wait to install it and enjoy it!

First off amazing products. I got a set of adjustable control arms for my XJ and it is so nice to be able to dial in caster and pinion angles. A quick call and I was able to purchase an adjustable track.
