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

This kit includes all necessary installation hardware, eliminating the need for additional purchases.

Great customer service. I got my front upper and lower control arms and hardware on Friday afternoon. It didn’t come with instructions so I called Core 4X4 and they immediately e mailed me the instructions. Also, the kit I got had the spacers missing so I called. It was late Friday by thus time but they took care of the issue first thing Monday morning and I got the spacers on Tuesday. Great company.

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.

Best control arms I have installed on any of my builds. After running every major manufacturer, Core 4x4 is on par or better than all the high-end companies at a fraction of the cost. Lifetime warranty is the cherry on top.

I meant to put this reviewing about a year ago now, but ever since I’ve had the core 4 x 4, upper and lower control arms on my 2017 ram 1500, they have worked flawlessly leave been on many offering chips, and I’ll definitely be buying new accessories from them in the future and their new upper control arms that they’re offering for all of the ram trucks. Fantastic customer service fantastic health very automotive, off-road, friendly, and any aftermarket thing for your truck or SUV that they currently have!

Had a great experience with Core 4x4, I desperately needed a custom track bar and found out just a couple days before Easter Jeep Safari. Spence was a huge help and made it happen with plenty of time to spare. Their parts are top notch!

Excellent service, Prompt responses when needing technical assistance, Amazing looking parts that fit excellently. I would recommend them to anyone looking for suspension components. Also very well packaged when we received the shipment, which means no damage from shipping company!! We went with the Crawl Series double adjustable kit and it definitely looks killer on our build!!!

First off amazing products. I got a set of adjustable control arms for my XJ and it is so nice to be able to dial in caster and pinion angles. A quick call and I was able to purchase an adjustable track.

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!!

Ive had the front adjustable control arm kit in bright green for my 1996 ZJ. Ive had the kit for about a year now and i have to say, im extremely impressed, over 1000 miles off-road and roughly 20,000 miles on the highway. These control arm kits for any vehicle built by core 4x4 are well worth the money, just be aware thereight be some minor scatches or chips from shipping ( but who should care about that if you're beating the crap out of em' they way they were built and designed for)
