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.

Awesome control arms! My mechanic said “ your Jeep is pretty much bulletproof now.” And I just got the tier 1 arms! The people at the core 4x4 shop were really nice too. They were running behind on shipping, (which is understandable) so I decided to go pick it up because it was only an hour drive. They gave me a free $60 hardware kit for the inconvenience. Thanks core 4x4! You guys are awesome!!

Recieved warrenty exchanges for my control arms last night couldnt be happier!!! Lets talk about the arms tho! Great quality arms in multiple styles and colors!!! I purchased the teir 3 short arns for my 98 xj. I can say that they setoff nicely so my 35 inch tires do not rub! As long as you can get a photo or video of broken hardware core will take care of you. The body of the arm is bulletproof. However make sure to maintain and grease the joints regularly as with any greaseable joint and they shouldkast forever. I had a few problems arise a year after purchase and after some troubleshooting spence was able to help get me the correct parts to get back on the road. I recommend this setup to any and all jeepers looking to get away from the stock arm setup. Alltogether i am Very happy with the performace of my control arms!!!! Mechanic and bodyman of 12 years and my first choice for quality control arms!!

Excellent quality product and service. My l lower control arms broke and within the same day core 4x4 hooked me up with tier 2 arms and with the color I wanted. My Jeep rides better and has been solid for several months so far. 10/10 would recommend their products to anyone.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company and their customer service. If you like American made products backed by warranty and amazing customer support, this is the company for you. I have a Lexus GX470 and love their rear control arms.

2022 I ordered a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in High Velocity yellow. Without any hesitation I knew I was going with Core 4x4’s 16pc Camp series suspension, powder coated in yellow. Compliments were a given from any and everyone that looked under my jeep. So beefy, I may have left some yellow paint on the rocks from Maine to Florida, but no bends or breaks. Customer service has been perfect each and every time I have needed something. Their warranty is top notch! Their communication is also wonderful. Might upgrade to the Crawl Series control arms where the Johnny joints are on both sides. Great all around company and a great team to troubleshoot your issue and come to a conclusion. Nothing bad to say about this company. Just love this suspension.

I've been having trouble with the track bar (on my 2nd gen Dodge) since I installed the 3rd gen Synergy adapter bracket and a 3rd gen stock bar.. oddly, they call it a '3rd gen bracket' and the stock 3rd gen bar doesn't quite fit, making contact with the bracket. I had attempted to clearance the bracket but it was still making contact and I could feel it over large bumps. I reached out to a lot of companies, but Core 4x4 offered to make a custom bar for the application with adjustability and dual Johnny joints. The first pass on it didn't work but they sent me out another passenger side end that made it fit incredibly well. This was all done solely over email/descriptions/pictures/measurements. Bar is super high quality and heavy duty, made in the US by a family owned company and carries a lifetime warranty. The customer service was responsive and superb, and the price was a lot less than I expected.

Awesome product and service! I even got some of their swag because it looked pretty darn good. I will definitely be going back and would suggest this business to others looking for quality control arms. Buy local!

Had a worn out set of rear upper control arms on my TJ. These were old rubicon express long arms. can’t buy replacements and no one makes a direct fit replacement. Talked with Korby at core off road sent some measurements and photos and a week later new arms showed up. Packaging was perfect fit was perfect. Would highly recommend giving these guys a call.

Korby was extremely helpful in helping me find the right part for my truck. He was kind, knowledgeable, and patient while I asked a million questions. He also went out of his way to find the right shipping option for me since it’s tricky where I live. I’m looking forward to getting the parts so I can fix my truck and go adventuring again soon!
