Core 4x4's Crawl Series 7-piece full rear suspension kit replaces all four worn factory stamped-steel control arms, the worn factory track bar, and the worn factory sway bar end links on the Cadillac Escalade EXT (2002–2006). The factory parts use soft rubber bushings and a fixed length, so there's no way to re-align the rear axle, recenter it side-to-side, or correct pinion angle after a lift or leveling kit — and the end links sit at the wrong length, so the sway bar can't keep the body flat the way it should. These Core 4x4 parts are a serious step up: DOM steel tubing and Rock Jock Johnny Joints at both ends of every arm and the track bar for maximum articulation, with adjustable length to set rear axle alignment, side-to-side centering, and pinion angle back to spec — plus solid cold-rolled-steel end links with welded Rock Jock Johnny Joints at both ends, built to the exact length for your lift to hold up to hard off-road use.
Includes: Rear upper control arms (pair), rear lower control arms (pair), the rear adjustable track bar, and the rear sway bar end links (pair); mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, and washers).
Specs:
- Upper arms — 1.5 in. o.d. × 5/16 in. wall DOM steel
- Lower arms — 1.75 in. o.d. × 5/16 in. wall DOM steel
- Track bar — 1.5 in. o.d. × 5/16 in. wall DOM steel
- Joints (arms & track bar) — Rock Jock Johnny Joints, both ends
- End links — 0.75 in. solid cold-rolled steel; welded Rock Jock Johnny Joints, both ends; built to length for your selected lift size (stock–6 in., or custom), non-adjustable
- Adjustable length — arms and track bar
- Made in the USA
- Lifetime warranty — bend it or break it, we'll 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 kit. If you ever need replacements down the road, the matching kit is available separately.
- This is the complete rear suspension package — pair it with quality rear shocks and a front leveling or lift kit to balance the truck out.
