The Special Sauce:
- HOUSING
- SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing:This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
- Knurled Housings:The preferred design for aftermarket installations.
- CNC Machined Housing:Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
- BALL STUDS
- SAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: for strongest possible metallurgy.
- Plunger Design Stud:Unique to Jeep and Dodge, allows up and down movement with no side-to-side movement.
- Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs:provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
- Rolled Threads: are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
- Step Threads :allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).
- BEARING DESIGN
- Carbon Bearing Design:Used mainly in Jeep and Dodge upper ball joints is the solver of all things wobbly. Like all of our product.
- BOOTS
- CR Rubber Boots:The most durable material for undercar applications.
- Pancake Boot
- HARDWARE
- Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware:Superior tensile strength.
- Castle Nut:Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.
- LUBRICATION
- Pre-threaded Zerk Housing:If you have ever installed a MOOG ball joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
- Greaseable:Because it should be.
- Pre-Greased:Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
- Gull Winged Grease Grooves:Allows for improved lubrication disbursement.
- Zerk Fittings:Included for every application.

Select your lift size in Step 1 — the kit ships with the correct geometry for that height. If you’re running a non-standard setup, call us before ordering and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Death wobble is a geometry problem, not just worn parts. Cruise Series corrects caster angle and eliminates the flex points that let shimmy start. Replacing one part at a time delays the fix — this replaces the geometry.
Yes, if you’ve done a lift kit before. Full-day project. Watch the complete JT install walkthrough on our YouTube channel — most owners wrap it in a day. Any off-road shop can run it if you’d rather have it done.
Any non-wear component fails — we replace it. No mileage cap. No maintenance intervals to track. No fine print about voiding if you miss a service. Lifetime means lifetime.
Teraflex’s lifetime warranty voids if you miss a maintenance interval. MetalCloak’s actual parts warranty is 12 months — their “lifetime” language refers to their service program. No conditions here.

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!

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.

Great company. Highly satisfied with Core 4x4 customer service. Had some bushings fall apart around 600 miles from home. Called and spoke with Korby Linscomb on Thursday, late in the afternoon. He was able to get my bushings sent across country overnight at a very reasonable rate. Had me up and running by Friday evening with enough time to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. Thanks Guys!

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.

Absolutely incredible family owned business. I asked to pick up my order since I’m local and they came in on a weekend to accommodate. Had to make some adjustments to parts and took the time to make sure it was perfect. Parts are incredible quality. If you have a Jeep, do not hesitate to support this local business.
