Enhanced Suspension Performance for Your Jeep Cherokee XJ
Upgrade your Jeep Cherokee XJ with the Crawl Series Long Arm Upgrade Kit, designed to improve suspension travel, axle stability, and overall ride quality. Unlike radius-style long arms that create single points of failure, this long arm design features both long lower and upper control arms, providing superior strength, articulation, and ground clearance for off-road and on-road performance.
What's Included?
- Long Lower Control Arms (2)
- Long Upper Control Arms (2)
- 1/4-Inch Plate Steel Brackets and Crossmember
- 3-Piece High-Clearance Crossmember for Drivetrain Access
Key Features and Benefits
- Long Arm Design – Enhances suspension articulation, improves ride quality, and eliminates binding issues found in short-arm setups.
- Heavy-Duty Construction – Made from .313-inch wall DOM tubing for exceptional strength and durability in extreme conditions.
- High-Clearance Crossmember – Improves obstacle clearance while maintaining drivetrain accessibility.
- Adjustable for Various Lift Heights – Designed to work with lifts from 2 inches and up, making it an ideal low center of gravity (LCG) option for enhanced stability.
- 100% Bolt-On Installation – Features bolt-on installation with optional weld surfaces for additional reinforcement.
Built for Strength and Performance
The Crawl Series Long Arm Upgrade Kit is engineered to provide maximum articulation and control. By utilizing long upper and lower control arms, this kit allows for a smoother suspension cycle, reducing driveline strain and providing superior ride comfort. Whether navigating technical rock crawls or daily commutes, this upgrade enhances handling and stability.
Optional Axle Side Upper Bushing Upgrade
While factory bushings provide adequate performance, they may wear prematurely under extreme conditions. We offer two upgrade options:
- Polyurethane Replacement Bushings – Provides increased durability and longevity.
- Rock Jock Axle Side Johnny Joint Upgrade Kit – Replaces factory rubber with Johnny Joints for the best articulation and longevity (cutting and welding required for installation).
Two-Stage Powder Coating for Maximum Durability
Each component undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for superior protection.
Zinc Primer Base Coat – Provides rust and corrosion resistance.
Durable Top Coat – Available in 10 custom color options to match or contrast your Jeep’s suspension.
Made in the USA

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts to arrive in time for a show. When I explained my concern they went above and beyond to make it happen. Quality of the parts is top notch.

I have nothing but good things to say about Core 4x4. I have the crawler series on my JKU and we take it all over the place. These parts handle everything we throw at them.

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.

I want to take the time to share my experience with Core 4x4.
I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler and was looking to upgrade some suspension parts. I went with Core 4x4 upper & lower adjustable control arms and a front adjustable track bar. Everything arrived quickly, and right out of the box I was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship.
I had a few questions during installation (measurements and torque specs), and I spoke with Korby on a couple of occasions. Not only did he send me detailed instructions, but he also shared an installation video specific to the part and vehicle I was working on, something you don’t get from many companies.
The control arms fit perfectly, look great, and perform exactly as I hoped. I did run into an issue with the front track bar touching the front diff. When I reached out, Korby had me send pictures and then immediately offered two solutions: his bar guy could make a different bend and send it out to me, or I could get a full refund. His response honestly blew me away. As much as I wanted to run the Core 4x4 track bar, I chose the refund. Korby sent me a prepaid shipping label right away, no hassle.
My experience with Core 4x4 has been excellent. Korby was extremely understanding, communicative, and helpful every step of the way. The parts I received were high quality, and the customer service was second to none.
I would absolutely recommend Core 4x4 10 out of 10 times and will be using them again. Just a great American company with awesome people who truly care about their customers.
Thank you Korby, and thank you Core 4x4!

Core 4x4 has outstanding products at a fair price and unmatched customer service. When you call Korby, it's like talking with a friend. Very cool and helpul!
I ordered some custom control arms, but from the wrong product line and they were super cool about returning them and upgrading to a better "Crawl" series. Only charged the difference between the two products. They paid all the return shipping and sent the uprgaded arms super quick. It was only a couple days. Awesome!!
I couldn't be happier with the transaction👍🏼
Also, these control arms are stout and take a beating. I run heck out my Jeep in the rocks and desert. No problems whatsoever.
Thanks Core 4x4, ya'll are welcome at my campfire anytime!

I have recently come to know Core 4x4 when I purchased a Jeep XJ and was looking for a place that had dedicated XJ suspension and components. Here is what makes them different than most other shops. All of their components are top shelf quality and they back it up if you break any of it. I was able to see their shop when I picked up an order locally and was impressed with their attention to detail and how they assemble and powder coat each part. I had an issue with a shackle and needed the threaded shaft to be shorter. I called in and talked to Kaden and he told me to come by and they would shorten it for me. When I got there, Kaden and Spencer (the owner) met me and talked about options and proceeded to make the right adjustments to fit my XJ. Told me if anything changes in the future and I need additional length, they would take care of me. So what really sets them apart from others is their Customer Service. Try calling in to any other Jeep suspension or part shop and see how they treat you. Been there - done that.
Will continue to do business with Core and their team. Getting that kind of service for just a shackle has me thinking I may need to replace my JT components with Core's. Thanks Guys for being helpful good humans!

Had a great experience with Core 4x4, I desperately needed a custom track bar and found out just a couple days before Easter Jeep Safari. Spence was a huge help and made it happen with plenty of time to spare. Their parts are top notch!

I contacted these guys on a Saturday through email and needed some control arms by the following weekend, Spence got back with me and told me he would make sure the order got shipped out on Monday, they got busy and wasn’t able to ship the package out so he got back with me that evening and upgraded my shipping for free and shipped out the next day, only because he told me he’d make sure I’d have them by the weekend! This company sticks to their word! The customer service from these guys are unmatched and they will have another lifetime customer here!
