Why Builders Choose CORE 4X4

Warranty facts, not marketing language.

vs. MetalCloak

Their “lifetime” language refers to their service model. Actual parts warranty: 1 year. Ours: lifetime.

vs. Teraflex

Skip a maintenance interval? Their warranty voids. Ours doesn’t.

vs. Clayton Off Road

Clayton warrants their Johnny Joints for 90 days. We cover ours for life.

Enhanced Suspension Performance for Your Jeep Cherokee XJ

Upgrade your Jeep Cherokee XJ with the Crawl Series Long Arm Upgrade Kit, designed to improve suspension travel, axle stability, and overall ride quality. Unlike radius-style long arms that create single points of failure, this long arm design features both long lower and upper control arms, providing superior strength, articulation, and ground clearance for off-road and on-road performance.

What's Included?

  • Long Lower Control Arms (2)
  • Long Upper Control Arms (2)
  • 1/4-Inch Plate Steel Brackets and Crossmember
  • 3-Piece High-Clearance Crossmember for Drivetrain Access

Key Features and Benefits

  • Long Arm Design – Enhances suspension articulation, improves ride quality, and eliminates binding issues found in short-arm setups.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Made from .313-inch wall DOM tubing for exceptional strength and durability in extreme conditions.
  • High-Clearance Crossmember – Improves obstacle clearance while maintaining drivetrain accessibility.
  • Adjustable for Various Lift Heights – Designed to work with lifts from 2 inches and up, making it an ideal low center of gravity (LCG) option for enhanced stability.
  • 100% Bolt-On Installation – Features bolt-on installation with optional weld surfaces for additional reinforcement.

Built for Strength and Performance

The Crawl Series Long Arm Upgrade Kit is engineered to provide maximum articulation and control. By utilizing long upper and lower control arms, this kit allows for a smoother suspension cycle, reducing driveline strain and providing superior ride comfort. Whether navigating technical rock crawls or daily commutes, this upgrade enhances handling and stability.

Optional Axle Side Upper Bushing Upgrade

While factory bushings provide adequate performance, they may wear prematurely under extreme conditions. We offer two upgrade options:

  • Polyurethane Replacement Bushings – Provides increased durability and longevity.
  • Rock Jock Axle Side Johnny Joint Upgrade Kit – Replaces factory rubber with Johnny Joints for the best articulation and longevity (cutting and welding required for installation).

Two-Stage Powder Coating for Maximum Durability

Each component undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for superior protection.

Zinc Primer Base Coat – Provides rust and corrosion resistance.

Durable Top Coat – Available in 10 custom color options to match or contrast your Jeep’s suspension.

Made in the USA

Proudly manufactured in Orem, UT, the Crawl Series Long Arm Upgrade Kit meets the highest standards of American craftsmanship. By sourcing local materials and maintaining strict quality control, we ensure premium durability and performance.

In Conclusion

The Crawl Series Long Arm Upgrade Kit is the ultimate suspension upgrade for Jeep Cherokee XJ owners looking to improve stability, articulation, and ride comfort. With its long arm design, heavy-duty materials, and superior adjustability, this kit is built to handle everything from daily driving to extreme off-road adventures. Upgrade today and experience unmatched performance and durability on any terrain!

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.

Top notch company. Mechanic lost bolts that clamp upper control arms. Korby sent out spare bolts no charge. Best customer service I’ve come across in a long time. Only suspension brand I’ll ever use.

First and foremost would like to say that Core4x4s customer service is top notch and they definitely stand behind their warranty on products! Highly recommend using them for any of your off road needs! It’s rare to find a company now a days that backs their products and they do! Had a few issues with mounts and control arms and they handled it without hesitation! Thank you!

Ordered a set of Core 4x4 control arms for my 2006 Jeep TJ. These are some heavy duty quality control arms. Can't wait to get them installed. Great customer service too!

Small business, family owned, made in the USA, lifetime warranty. Purchased Tier 3 control arms and rear track bar for a 2006 Jeep LJ. Simple website and easy to contact over phone and email. I had some technical questions and they were happy to answer them. They allow local pickup and were built to order same week. The order was wrapped and ready when I walked in and even gave a tour of the shop. They abrasive blast all raw materials to achieve a better surface profile for powdercoat to adhere and create a smooth, durable finish. I also noticed several CNC machines and a robotic welder they use for all their parts. A small outfit with a robotic welder? Their concern for quality is obvious and it shows in the parts they make. Very impressed. Happy to do business with these guys.

Core 4x4 has outstanding products at a fair price and unmatched customer service. When you call Korby, it's like talking with a friend. Very cool and helpul! I ordered some custom control arms, but from the wrong product line and they were super cool about returning them and upgrading to a better "Crawl" series. Only charged the difference between the two products. They paid all the return shipping and sent the uprgaded arms super quick. It was only a couple days. Awesome!! I couldn't be happier with the transaction👍🏼 Also, these control arms are stout and take a beating. I run heck out my Jeep in the rocks and desert. No problems whatsoever. Thanks Core 4x4, ya'll are welcome at my campfire anytime! Jake T. Pleasant Hill, Or.

I ordered a part for my 03 Jeep TJ and all I can say is wow! Korby at Core 4x4 is a total rockstar!! There was a glitch with my payment and within minutes, Korby reached out to me to get it fixed, then sent my receipt with the tracking number. I lost the number and reached out to him during the Holidays and got a rapid response with the number again. I can’t say enough about the customer service and the quality of parts. Thank you!!

I have recently come to know Core 4x4 when I purchased a Jeep XJ and was looking for a place that had dedicated XJ suspension and components. Here is what makes them different than most other shops. All of their components are top shelf quality and they back it up if you break any of it. I was able to see their shop when I picked up an order locally and was impressed with their attention to detail and how they assemble and powder coat each part. I had an issue with a shackle and needed the threaded shaft to be shorter. I called in and talked to Kaden and he told me to come by and they would shorten it for me. When I got there, Kaden and Spencer (the owner) met me and talked about options and proceeded to make the right adjustments to fit my XJ. Told me if anything changes in the future and I need additional length, they would take care of me. So what really sets them apart from others is their Customer Service. Try calling in to any other Jeep suspension or part shop and see how they treat you. Been there - done that. Will continue to do business with Core and their team. Getting that kind of service for just a shackle has me thinking I may need to replace my JT components with Core's. Thanks Guys for being helpful good humans!
