Product Details

Lift Your Jeep Wrangler JK for a Bold Look and Improved Performance

Upgrade your Jeep Wrangler JK with the CORE 4X4 Cruise Series Lift Kit, the perfect entry-level solution for better stance, improved handling, and enhanced off-road capability. This kit allows you to run 33-inch tires with no modifications and 35-inch tires with minor trimming, giving your Jeep a more aggressive look while maintaining a comfortable and controlled ride.

Beyond aesthetics, this lift kit helps correct caster deficiencies that can cause wandering and instability, especially after lifting your Jeep. This kit will provide approximately 1.5" of lift on 4-door Jeeps and approximately 2.5" of lift on 2-door Jeeps. 

Note: New rear end links are included in the kit with the intention of using the factory rear end links for the front sway bar. They have the same mounting specs as the front end links, but are a few inches longer. If you would like new end links for the front the part number is CRS-J-JK-FEL2

Key Features Benefits

  • Ideal for Running Larger Tires – Supports 33-inch tires with no trimming and 35-inch tires with minor modifications, providing the perfect stance upgrade.
  • Triple-Rate Coil Springs – Ensures a smooth and controlled ride with progressive spring rates that adapt to different terrains.
  • Corrects Caster Angle Improves Steering Stability – Paired with Cruise Series Front Lower Control Arms, this kit reduces wandering and improves highway drivability.
  • Increased Ground Clearance – Navigate rough terrain with confidence, reducing undercarriage contact with obstacles.
  • Optimized Ride Quality – Shock absorbers matched to lift height provide the perfect balance of comfort and control.
  • Easy Bolt-On Installation – No major modifications required for a hassle-free upgrade.

Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating

The Cruise Series Front Lower Control Arms undergo a two-stage powder coating process to ensure long-lasting durability and resistance to corrosion. The first stage applies a zinc primer base coat, creating a strong barrier against rust and environmental wear. The second stage features a durable topcoat, available in 10 color options, allowing you to customize the look of your suspension components while adding an additional layer of protection.

Made in the USA

Manufactured in Orem, UT, this lift kit is built with high-quality American craftsmanship and locally sourced materials, ensuring durability and reliability.

Complete Hardware Included

To start off if you're looking to upgrade your control arms definitely hit this company up. Great product, easy install of the product, with three different tiers everything is priced pretty good, I'm a sticker guy and they sent a sticker for each arm each track bar and also three extra ones so the extra are on the Jeep the advertise them for sure. If you're reading this review I highly recommend you to check their website out.

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.

Recieved warrenty exchanges for my control arms last night couldnt be happier!!! Lets talk about the arms tho! Great quality arms in multiple styles and colors!!! I purchased the teir 3 short arns for my 98 xj. I can say that they setoff nicely so my 35 inch tires do not rub! As long as you can get a photo or video of broken hardware core will take care of you. The body of the arm is bulletproof. However make sure to maintain and grease the joints regularly as with any greaseable joint and they shouldkast forever. I had a few problems arise a year after purchase and after some troubleshooting spence was able to help get me the correct parts to get back on the road. I recommend this setup to any and all jeepers looking to get away from the stock arm setup. Alltogether i am Very happy with the performace of my control arms!!!! Mechanic and bodyman of 12 years and my first choice for quality control arms!!

Great company. Highly satisfied with Core 4x4 customer service. Had some bushings fall apart around 600 miles from home. Called and spoke with Korby Linscomb on Thursday, late in the afternoon. He was able to get my bushings sent across country overnight at a very reasonable rate. Had me up and running by Friday evening with enough time to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. Thanks Guys!

I met a couple of the Core 4x4 guys at the Salt Lake Offroad Expo and decided to try them out after noticing one of my control arm bushings was disintegrated. I called to discuss parts on Thursday and I was leaving for a trip on Saturday. These guys built my control arms and had them ready to be picked up Friday, 24 hours later. The parts seem to be great quality and they charged me nothing extra to have them painted. These guys were extremely helpful and without them my trip probably would have been cancelled. looking forward to testing out the arms on my next trip to Moab.

First time buying from Korby @ Core 4x4 and it’s being nothing short of a great experience. I bought the non adjustable Trail kit for my 5th Gen Ram 1500 with a 2” lift. The welds look great, nice powder coat finish and quality bushing. Had some trouble fitting the grease nipples due to the powder coating but a thread tap would fix that. They fit easily and perform great. I felt the improvement straight away. No more wheel hop on hard acceleration which was my main reason for the purchase. I was missing some smaller bushings needed for the 5th Gen and Korby’s custom service was on point, with responsive emails and mailing out the missing parts straight away. Very happy with their products and customer service. Highly recommended company👌🏽

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts to arrive in time for a show. When I explained my concern they went above and beyond to make it happen. Quality of the parts is top notch.

I've been having trouble with the track bar (on my 2nd gen Dodge) since I installed the 3rd gen Synergy adapter bracket and a 3rd gen stock bar.. oddly, they call it a '3rd gen bracket' and the stock 3rd gen bar doesn't quite fit, making contact with the bracket. I had attempted to clearance the bracket but it was still making contact and I could feel it over large bumps. I reached out to a lot of companies, but Core 4x4 offered to make a custom bar for the application with adjustability and dual Johnny joints. The first pass on it didn't work but they sent me out another passenger side end that made it fit incredibly well. This was all done solely over email/descriptions/pictures/measurements. Bar is super high quality and heavy duty, made in the US by a family owned company and carries a lifetime warranty. The customer service was responsive and superb, and the price was a lot less than I expected.
