Conquer Any Terrain with CORE 4X4’s Crawl Series Lift Kit

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.

Core 4x4 excels with precision and service and keeps nothing else higher in mind. Everyone I've met at the company is very honest and down to earth, 10/10 would recommend.

Have full upper/lower CA set on both front and rear axles on a 96 ZJ. These are the rubber bushing sets not joint sets. I have beat the hell out it in the Nevada desert for 2 years and has been great. I don’t go fast but I do articulate suspension a lot. Super solid and haven’t any issues. Just inspected the entire set recently due to some banging under it. Turns out the banging is lower rear shock bushings. Inspected each CA along the way nothing. Aside from dirt and obviously winter roads and what not still in excellent condition, bushings are solid like the day they were installed. I’ll add that I’m about tapped on a short arm at 4.25(less with settle) so the front CA’s get beat on just from that, still they’re like new. Paint is great condition, this set is red. I would definitely buy again. Another plus for me, Utah isn’t local necessarily, but it’s nice to support businesses closer to me.

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.

Excellent service, Prompt responses when needing technical assistance, Amazing looking parts that fit excellently. I would recommend them to anyone looking for suspension components. Also very well packaged when we received the shipment, which means no damage from shipping company!! We went with the Crawl Series double adjustable kit and it definitely looks killer on our build!!!

Ordered a control arm and track bar kit for my WJ from Core 4x4 on Monday 7/28 and received it today, Friday 8/1. Im not a state or two away, im in CT aka the other side of the country. Communication is phenominal, emails were responded too in an hour or less. Parts arrived well packed, not damaged, and are great quality for my needs. There arent many companies left that service customers as well as Core 4x4 and i wont hesitate to check them out again if i need something else. Well done!
