Lift Your Jeep Wrangler JK for a Bold Look and Improved Performance

Upgrade your Jeep Wrangler JK with the CORE 4X4 Cruise Series Lift Kit, the perfect entry-level solution for better stance, improved handling, and enhanced off-road capability. This kit allows you to run 33-inch tires with no modifications and 35-inch tires with minor trimming, giving your Jeep a more aggressive look while maintaining a comfortable and controlled ride.

Beyond aesthetics, this lift kit helps correct caster deficiencies that can cause wandering and instability, especially after lifting your Jeep. This kit will provide approximately 1.5" of lift on 4-door Jeeps and approximately 2.5" of lift on 2-door Jeeps. 

Note: New rear end links are included in the kit with the intention of using the factory rear end links for the front sway bar. They have the same mounting specs as the front end links, but are a few inches longer. If you would like new end links for the front the part number is CRS-J-JK-FEL2

Key Features Benefits

  • Ideal for Running Larger Tires – Supports 33-inch tires with no trimming and 35-inch tires with minor modifications, providing the perfect stance upgrade.
  • Triple-Rate Coil Springs – Ensures a smooth and controlled ride with progressive spring rates that adapt to different terrains.
  • Corrects Caster Angle Improves Steering Stability – Paired with Cruise Series Front Lower Control Arms, this kit reduces wandering and improves highway drivability.

Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating

The Cruise Series Front Lower Control Arms undergo a two-stage powder coating process to ensure long-lasting durability and resistance to corrosion. The first stage applies a zinc primer base coat, creating a strong barrier against rust and environmental wear. The second stage features a durable topcoat, available in 10 color options, allowing you to customize the look of your suspension components while adding an additional layer of protection.

Made in the USA

Manufactured in Orem, UT, this lift kit is built with high-quality American craftsmanship and locally sourced materials, ensuring durability and reliability.

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!!

In September 2025, we visited CORE 4x4 in Orem, Utah. CORE 4x4 makes control arms and other similar parts that stiffen the suspension of an off-road 4x4 vehicles, so that the off-road vehicles can travel on more rugged terrain. CORE 4x4 used to share this building with another business, and since this other business has moved elsewhere, CORE 4x4 will continue to expand and grow their business. Good for CORE 4x4 to be a growing company and to expand into the vacant part of the building.

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 couldn't have been more excited for the initial unboxing of these new Core 4x4 UCA's! They appear to be so well built and just a true quality product. Installation was a breeze and the initial testing with the forklift appears to have given me some additional flex with less binding on the rest of the components now that the geometry is back properly aligned. Time will tell how they hold up on my near future off-road adventures but I don't have any doubt that they are up to the task!

I purchased a set of the Cruiser Series control arms for my Jeep Jk based on postive reviews from different Jeep Facebook pages. Ordered and 2 days later realized they had the very same exact arms on sale in the overstock section. Called them up and they refunded me the savings from my original purchase. Amazing, honest service. Can't wait to get them installed. Keep up the good work guys.

I purchased the Jeep WJ control arms Camp series over a year ago. Very pleased and impressed. Easy installation and solid build. Bracket broke for rear upper control arm, they redesigned it to be more robust and sent me a new one with hardware, honoring their guarantee!

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.

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!!
