Details

Core 4x4's Crawl Series rear upper control arms replace the worn factory stamped-steel arms on the GMC Yukon XL Denali (2001–2006). The factory arms use soft rubber bushings and a fixed length, so there's no way to correct pinion angle after a lift or leveling kit. These Core 4x4 arms are a serious step up: DOM steel tubing and forged Rock Jock Johnny Joints at both ends for maximum articulation, with adjustable length to set rear pinion angle back to spec.

Includes: Rear upper control arms (pair); mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, and washers).

Specs:

  • Tubing — 1.5 in. o.d. × 5/16 in. wall DOM steel
  • Joints — forged Rock Jock Johnny Joints, both ends (double-threaded)
  • Adjustable length — for pinion-angle correction
  • Lift range — 0–6 in. and up
  • Made in the USA
  • You break it, we replace it
  • Wear items (bushings, joints) — covered for 18 months

Suspension Type — Factory Autoride (Z55): Chances are, your truck came with rear Autoride (Z55) from the factory — GM's air-leveling system. This part is built to match: the ride-height sensor mounting tab is included on both rear upper arms, so your factory sensors bolt right back on. Converted to coil springs — or never had air ride at all? No problem — everything fits and works exactly the same; the sensor tabs just go unused.

Notes:

  • Hardware is included with your arms. If you ever need replacements down the road, the matching kit is available separately.
  • Running a lift? The 4-piece rear set (CRL-G-800-DXL-RS4-Z55) adds the matching lower arms to replace all four rear arms in one job.

Parts:

  • Forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint, right-hand — CE-9112N-22 (1 per arm, 2 for the pair).
  • Forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint, left-hand — CE-9112NL-22 (1 per arm, 2 for the pair).
  • Replacement hardware kit — CRL-G-800-RU2-HWK.

Fits:

  • Chevy Tahoe (2000–2006)
  • Chevy Suburban 1500 (2000–2006)
  • Chevy Avalanche 1500 (2002–2006)
  • GMC Yukon / Yukon XL 1500 (2000–2006)
  • GMC Yukon Denali / XL Denali (2001–2006)
  • Cadillac Escalade / ESV / EXT (2002–2006)
  • 1500-series only. Does NOT fit 2500-series HD.

Finally a company with a great product and customer service to match. I changed my order last minute from short arms to long arms. The lift is extremely well built. Korbey was awesome! Highly recommend Core 4x4

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.

Beefy parts made and painted well, very fair pricing for what you get, and fantastic customer service to boot. Easily my favorite place to get suspension parts.

We have all shopped places where the person on the phone makes you feel like they don't have the time to talk to you the customer or answer your questions. I can tell you first hand that's not Core 4x4. They have the best customer service I have seen so far. They have taken the time to respond to all of my questions in a very prompt and professional manner, taking the time to answer each and every question I have had. Lets put it this way if Core 4x4 sells a product I am wanting for my truck I will buy it from them, I highly recommend Core 4x4.

The whole process was quick and painless. The products are top tier and when I reached out them for package update info, Korby Linscomb was very responsive, and got me the answers I needed the same day. Even when I emailed back to some additional info, he sent what I was looking for that same day. I love core 4x4 and will be giving them my business from now on.

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.

Best control arms I have installed on any of my builds. After running every major manufacturer, Core 4x4 is on par or better than all the high-end companies at a fraction of the cost. Lifetime warranty is the cherry on top.
