Enhanced Stability, Alignment, and Control

Whether you're tackling rugged trails or daily driving, this adjustable rear track bar keeps your rear axle centered, preventing dog tracking and instability caused by suspension lifts.

  • Reduces Body Roll and Enhances Handling – Minimizes side-to-side movement, increasing stability and control in cornering and off-road maneuvers.
  • Adjustable for Lifted Applications – Designed to accommodate 0 to 6-inch lifts, maintaining correct suspension geometry and axle positioning.
  • High-Grade Polyurethane Bushings – Absorbs vibrations and road noise, enhancing drivability and ride quality.

Precision Handling and Axle Re-Centering for Lifted 4Runners

Lifting a Toyota 4Runner can result in axle shift and instability, negatively affecting handling and tire wear. The Cruise Series Rear Track Bar ensures proper axle positioning, reducing driveline stress and improving overall performance.

Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating for Long-Lasting Protection

Each track bar undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for maximum corrosion resistance and durability: Zinc primer base coat protects against rust and harsh environments. Durable top coat, available in 10 colors, adds customization and additional protection.

Proudly Made in the USA

Manufactured in Orem, UT, the Cruise Series Rear Track Bar is built with strict quality control and locally sourced materials, ensuring superior performance and longevity.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

Installs easily using factory hardware. For those dealing with rusted or seized bolts, optional Grade 8 hardware kits are available separately.

I broke a grease fitting off in my end link. I thought I was going to have to buy a new one. Reached out to Core 4x4 and wham! bam! They fixed it and sent it back with 2 day shipping. Got it a day early even. If they couldn't fix it they were going to send me a new one. Now that's customer service! They are now a permanent part of my garage. Thank you Core 4x4!

2001 Wrangler TJ- i have purchased all front/rear upper/lower control arms. Front track bar and rear track bar. Quality is excellent and extremely durable you can tell its built to last. Bent a bolt on the front track bar and called and spoke with Spence. He immediately sent me out new hardware plus some! Product is amazing but what really separates companies apart is their service and these guys are second to none. Thank you all!

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.

I wanted to take a moment and give these guys a shout out, I’ve currently got, for my xj, their adjustable control arms, tier 4 adjustable track bar and adjustable leaf spring shackles. You can always count on a fair price, high quality products, and quick delivery. Keep up the great work guys, will definitely continue to shop with you

Ive had the front adjustable control arm kit in bright green for my 1996 ZJ. Ive had the kit for about a year now and i have to say, im extremely impressed, over 1000 miles off-road and roughly 20,000 miles on the highway. These control arm kits for any vehicle built by core 4x4 are well worth the money, just be aware thereight be some minor scatches or chips from shipping ( but who should care about that if you're beating the crap out of em' they way they were built and designed for)
