Details
Core 4x4's Cruise Series rear lower control arms replace the worn factory stamped-steel arms on the Cadillac Escalade EXT (2002–2006). The factory arms use soft rubber bushings and a fixed length, so there's no way to re-align the rear axle after a lift or leveling kit. These Core 4x4 arms are a serious step up: heavier steel construction, fresh poly bushings, and adjustable length to set rear axle alignment back to spec.
They're also built to grow with your truck. When you want more articulation later, the adjustable end accepts the same forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint our Camp lower arms use, so you can upgrade in place without replacing the whole arm.
Includes: Rear lower control arms (pair); mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, and washers).
Specs:
- Tubing — 1.875 in. o.d. × 3/16 in. wall steel
- Bushings — poly, both ends
- Adjustable length — for rear-axle alignment
- Lift range — 0–6 in.
- Made in the USA
- You break it, we replace it
- Wear items (bushings, joints) — covered for 18 months
Notes:
- Hardware is included with your arms. If you ever need replacements down the road, the matching kit is available separately.
- Future upgrade: each adjustable end accepts a forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint (CE-9114) — two for the pair.
- Running a lift? The 4-piece rear set (CRS-G-800-EXT-RS4-Z55) adds the matching upper arms to replace all four rear arms in one job.
Parts:
- Poly bushings — BSH-LOBH-CB, 9/16-in. bolt (2 per arm, 4 for the pair).
- Replacement hardware kit — CRS-G-800-RL2-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)

Not sure where to start, Products or Service or Warranty.
Products: I found Core4x4 through a very respected YouTuber in the Jeeping community. I purchased an entire set of Core4x4 Control Arms three years ago and have beat the daylights out of them and they are still in great condition. Now, I purchased another Jeep, this time for my daughter and bought yet another set of Control Arms because I know that these things can take a beating and stand up to it. I plan on replacing more parts on this TJ and my JL and will continue to buy from Core4x4.
Service: This isn't some huge name conglomerate that treats you like you're just another customer. They are quick with responses and will always make things right should something be a problem. Oh and the quickness in which they ship their products is unmatched. I bought these CAs for my TJ on Thursday, I received them on Monday. Most other manufacturers will tell you weeks, they had them to me in 2 shipping days.
Warranty: Seriously, a lifetime warranty? Yes please. Nothing more to say.
I can't say enough about how great of a company this is. I've even spoken to the owner through email a few years back on some questions that I had. Support small American built businesses.
P.S. Core 4x4, feel free to make me an ambassador and send me some swag :) .

I have a 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab and I replaced the rear upper and lower control arms also the pan hard track bar and also the sway bar and links for the rear with all I had the articulating bushings. The vehicle now has no body role. They are absolutely incredible if you get the control arms you gotta get the CORE 4 x 4sway bar end links don’t don’t try and be cheap and get Moog or something else you got to get articulating bushings get the core 4 x 4 ones they are the best. My truck drives now through the canyons like a BMW. I have Fox high-performance shocks on there as well with all the CORE 4 x 4 suspension parts and they are amazing. Well worth the money I would highly recommend anybody thinking about CORE 4 x 4 go with CORE 4X4 and if you can go with their articulating bushings, they’re unbelievable drives better now than my Escalades. Well planted no body role and smooth on the Highway unbelievable the difference they all made!!
THANKS AGAIN CORE 4x4!!!!

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!

Great long arm kit with everything else I needed as well! They worked with me to ensure that I was getting an upgraded components kit just like I wanted. Fast shipping with some of the best packaging that I have ever seen. Nothing was scratched or missing and this kit is even more impressive than the videos or website can show. Powder coating looks great with no issues.
I would highly recommend CORE 4x4 to anyone looking for a great quality kit.

Good company, they offer well built parts and Great customer service.
I had a couple of hang ups with my control arms that I purchased, they were very easy to work with and found the solution to make them work.
