Product Details

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.

Phenomenal company - very rare to come by in the automotive industry. Also very impressing. Let me start here. I got a set of yellow sway bar end links for my 19 ram DT (new body style) and let me tell you, I’m hooked. For numerous reasons. One the craftsmanship behind the product is unmatched for sure for without breaking the bank. 2ndly, they stand behind their product. Had a very minor issue and it was resolved in a blink of an eye!!! Insane. Just because of what i listed above i will forever spend my money with core 4x4! And i think you should too! I have no affiliation at all with this company besides being a consumer. I will be ordering my yellow UCAs and the rest of my rear suspension from them here shortly! Korby on the other hand. The representative that helped me went above and beyond FAST. I hung up the phone with him, and with in no lie 3 minutes he was calling back with an answer. GREAT GREAT GREAT customer service, Korby you and core 4x4 are what give us hope in the car community! With much love and great health to you all!!

The customer service is first class. I had an issue with a track bar I installed on my F350. I don’t have any other Core 4x4 parts yet, but with the way I was treated, I know their parts are well done, because they went above and beyond to make sure I was made whole. They wouldn’t be in business if they had to take care of a lot of people like they took care of me. Will definitely be back when it’s time to build the Jeep!

These guys are great. You can get them on the phone for support. This important and is not always the case with other custom parts builders. Their control arms are bomb proof and offer plenty of options. You can get real genuine Currie Johnny joints without paying the price for Currie arms.

Awesome control arms! My mechanic said “ your Jeep is pretty much bulletproof now.” And I just got the tier 1 arms! The people at the core 4x4 shop were really nice too. They were running behind on shipping, (which is understandable) so I decided to go pick it up because it was only an hour drive. They gave me a free $60 hardware kit for the inconvenience. Thanks core 4x4! You guys are awesome!!

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.

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!

Excellent, strong, and durable products—perfect for both on-road and off-road applications. The customer service is outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful with understanding installation and ensuring I got exactly what I needed. I would definitely order again. Top-notch company with high-quality products made right here in the U.S.A.

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!
