Whether you're tackling rugged trails or daily driving, these arms provide the perfect balance of off-road flexibility and on-road stability.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty DOM Tubing Construction – Built from 1.5” OD 5/16” wall DOM Tubing, offering unmatched strength and longevity in extreme conditions.
  • Johnny Joints for Maximum Flexibility – Equipped with Johnny Joints at both ends, providing increased articulation, vibration dampening, and reduced suspension binding.
  • Left- and Right-Hand Threaded Adjustability – Allows on-vehicle adjustments for fine-tuning pinion angle, axle centering, and suspension geometry without removal.
  • Fully Adjustable for Lifted Vehicles – Designed for 0 to 6 inches of lift, these control arms enable precise alignment correction and pinion angle adjustments. For lifts beyond 6 inches, contact us for custom solutions.
  • Recommended Pairing – Pair these arms with our Crawl Series Rear Lower Control Arms (CRL-T-4R-96-RL2) for a complete rear-end suspension solution with full control over axle positioning and geometry.

First off: Korby, the gentleman that helped me decide on which kit to go with is EASILY the nicest, and most patient person I’ve dealt with, when ordering parts for this build. Second: the quality of the product is INSANE! These parts are so nicely fabricated, then powder coated for extra longevity, and they even offer an aluminum upgrade in some cases (which I went with, to save weight). Having said all of this, the most impressive thing was the lead time. These parts are build to order, and I literally ordered my suspension one week ago, today! Yes, they built, powder coated, packaged, shipped my suspension components (RAM 1500 Track rear trailing arm full set in 7075 aluminum, and front upper control arms), AND they arrived, all within a week! Granted, that I’m only one state away, but WOW!!! One week?! Amazing! So, in sort: excellent products, which arrived excellently packaged (no damage, an boxes not over-stuffed with heavy suspension parts; three boxes total, as opposed to one super heavy one…my back thanks you), super quickly, and customer service that ANY business would be envious of….so, if you’re in the market, absolutely go with Core 4X4!

I have bought a bunch of sets of arms, track bars and even had custom work done by Core 4x4. Just yesterday, Spence and Cam delivered an awesome cross member they designed and built for me! All of their products have been exceptional! I have personally seen their progression with design changes/updates. They truly take pride in their work and products. Quality control is second to none! They’ve also helped me diagnose issues with different jeeps I’ve had, as well as Dodge/Rams. These guys know their stuff! Really! I trust them whole heartedly and absolutely love their products/quality of work! I’ve referred many people, and will always continue to do so. Keep up the good work Core4x4!

Very beefy items for a very reasonable price.  Personally have CORE rear track bar and all upper control arms for my 04 Jeep TJ.  Had a slight issue with control arm length and they went above and beyond to swap jam nuts to get me where I needed to be.  Really have to appreciate a company like this.

Purchased a set of Trailing arms for my Ram 1500, quality is first class. I bought the ones with the Jonny Joints for more articulation and it appears from the construction I should get a lifetime of use, Zerk fittings are an added plus. Would defiantly recommend, and the the service team answered all of my questions.
