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!

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 have nothing but good things to say about Core 4x4. I have the crawler series on my JKU and we take it all over the place. These parts handle everything we throw at them.

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.

Solid product, the lifetime warranty sealed the deal for me. Installed on my TJ and the ride quality improved noticeably. Shipping took a bit longer than expected but the parts were worth the wait.

Installed the full kit on my XJ. Ride quality is night and day better than what I had before. The articulation on the trail is insane. These guys know what they are doing. Already recommended Core 4x4 to everyone in my club.
