Upgrade Your 4Runner’s Rear Suspension for Ultimate Performance

Transform your Toyota 4Runner’s suspension with the Cruise Series Complete Rear Kit, designed for model years 1996-2002. This comprehensive upgrade enhances stability, alignment, and axle control, ensuring improved handling and suspension durability both on and off the road.

What’s Included in the Kit?

  • Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms – CRS-T-4R-96-RU2
  • Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms – CRS-T-4R-96-RL2
  • Cruise Series Rear Track Bar – CRS-T-4R-96-RTB

Key Features and Benefits

  • Precise Pinion Angle and Axle Alignment – Adjustability allows for proper pinion angle correction, reducing driveline vibrations and improving drivetrain efficiency.
  • Enhanced Stability and Handling – Rear track bar and control arms work together to keep the rear axle centered, reducing body sway and tire wear.
  • Adjustability for Lifts – Designed for 0 to 6-inch lifts, ensuring optimal suspension geometry and flexibility for future lift modifications.
  • Tapered Polyurethane Bushings – Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while offering longer-lasting durability and improved ride quality.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Robust steel tubing provides superior strength and durability over factory components.

Maximize Axle Control and Drivetrain Performance

Lifting your 4Runner can alter the rear pinion angle, leading to driveline vibrations and increased wear on U-joints. The Cruise Series Rear Upper and Lower Control Arms work together to precisely adjust pinion angles, while the Rear Track Bar keeps the axle centered, ensuring a smooth and stable ride on any terrain.

Two-Stage Powder Coating for Maximum Durability

Each component in the Cruise Series Rear Kit is finished with a two-stage powder coating process for exceptional corrosion resistance. A zinc primer base coat prevents rust and wear, while a durable topcoat, available in 10 colors, provides a customized look and added protection.

Proudly Made in the USA

The Cruise Series Rear Kit is manufactured in Orem, UT, using high-quality domestic materials. Our commitment to precision craftsmanship ensures superior performance, reliability, and long-term durability.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

This kit is designed for easy installation using factory hardware. For those dealing with rusted or stubborn bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits separately for a hassle-free installation.

In Conclusion

The Cruise Series Complete Rear Kit is a must-have upgrade for Toyota 4Runner owners looking to enhance rear axle stability, eliminate driveline vibrations, and improve off-road handling. Whether you're lifting your vehicle for better ground clearance or fine-tuning your suspension for precise control, this kit provides the strength, adjustability, and performance you need. Upgrade your 4Runner today and experience improved stability, smoother handling, and ultimate 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.

I purchased the Jeep WJ control arms Camp series over a year ago. Very pleased and impressed. Easy installation and solid build. Bracket broke for rear upper control arm, they redesigned it to be more robust and sent me a new one with hardware, honoring their guarantee!

I recently ordered a set of control arms from Core 4x4, and the entire experience was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. The ordering process was smooth, the parts arrived quickly, and the control arms themselves are extremely high quality—solid construction, great finish, and clearly built to last. I also want to give a special shout-out to Korby, the guy I spoke with during the process. His customer service was amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I needed, answered all my questions, and made the whole experience stress-free. You don’t see service like that very often these days. If you’re looking for high-quality suspension components backed by truly exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Core 4x4. I’ll definitely be buying from them again.

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.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company and their customer service. If you like American made products backed by warranty and amazing customer support, this is the company for you. I have a Lexus GX470 and love their rear control arms.

The whole process was quick and painless. The products are top tier and when I reached out them for package update info, Korby Linscomb was very responsive, and got me the answers I needed the same day. Even when I emailed back to some additional info, he sent what I was looking for that same day. I love core 4x4 and will be giving them my business from now on.

In September 2025, we visited CORE 4x4 in Orem, Utah. CORE 4x4 makes control arms and other similar parts that stiffen the suspension of an off-road 4x4 vehicles, so that the off-road vehicles can travel on more rugged terrain. CORE 4x4 used to share this building with another business, and since this other business has moved elsewhere, CORE 4x4 will continue to expand and grow their business. Good for CORE 4x4 to be a growing company and to expand into the vacant part of the building.

Finally a company with a great product and customer service to match. I changed my order last minute from short arms to long arms. The lift is extremely well built. Korbey was awesome! Highly recommend Core 4x4

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!!!!
