Why Builders Choose CORE 4X4
Warranty facts, not marketing language.
Their “lifetime” language refers to their service model. Actual parts warranty: 1 year. Ours: lifetime.
Skip a maintenance interval? Their warranty voids. Ours doesn’t.
Clayton warrants their Johnny Joints for 90 days. We cover ours for life.

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.
