Conquer Any Terrain with CORE 4X4’s Crawl Series Lift Kit

Elevate your off-road experience with CORE 4X4’s Crawl Series Lift Kit, designed specifically for Jeep JT Gladiator models. Engineered for extreme off-roading, this kit empowers you to conquer the toughest trails with unmatched strength, precision, and durability.

Key Features Benefits

  • 4.5" Lift for Extreme Off-Roading – Gain significant ground clearance to tackle rugged terrain and accommodate larger tires, ensuring you overcome obstacles with ease.
  • Heavy-Duty Control Arms – All 8 Crawl Series adjustable control arms ensure maximum strength and precise suspension articulation, built to withstand extreme off-road conditions.
  • Adjustable Track Bars – Front and rear Crawl Series track bars maintain optimal axle alignment, providing superior stability and control in aggressive off-road situations.
  • Triple Rate Coil Springs – Delivers superior ride quality and improved suspension travel, adapting to varying terrains for enhanced comfort and control.
  • High-Performance Shock Absorbers – Matched to the lift height, these shocks provide exceptional damping control, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride over rough terrain.
  • Extended Brake Hoses – Accommodates increased suspension travel while ensuring consistent and reliable braking performance during extreme off-road use.
  • Raised Rear Track Bar Bracket – Corrects roll center and enhances handling for improved suspension geometry and stability.
  • Front and Rear Extended Sway Bar Endlinks – Enhances handling and stability, reducing body roll and improving control.

Important Notes

The CORE 4X4 Steering Kit add-on is over-the-knuckle and requires minor drilling for installation. Necessary hardware and an additional front track bar relocation bracket are included.

Lift heights are based on Rubicon models with average builds (bumpers, winch, spare tire) other models and builds will achieve slightly different lift heights.

For Mojave owners: If you would like to retain the factory shocks, select the optional shock extensions before adding to cart. Factory bump stops are not affected with this kit. 

A new front driveshaft is required with our 4.5" JT Lift kit. The factory driveshaft will be over-extended and cause damage. We have two options available to add to your kit, or order your own, but do not use your factory shaft with this kit!

Lift kits are sourced from multiple trusted partners and will ship from different locations.

Durable Two-Stage Powder Coating

To ensure long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance, all steel components undergo a two-stage powder coating process. A zinc primer base coat provides rust protection, while a durable topcoat is available in 10 color options, allowing you to personalize your build.

Made in the USA

Proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in Orem, UT, ensuring top-tier craftsmanship, strict quality control, and long-term reliability.

Tire Fitment

  • Fits up to 40" tires with stock fenders.

Great experience with Core 4x4! I purchased some suspension parts for my dad's 98 Jeep TJ. The products they make are super durable and look even better in person. Attention to detail and overall superior quality. The staff at Core 4x4 is super helpful also, Korby has been great. Updating me on the status of my order and sending me tracking numbers as well. Thank you all at Core 4x4, keep up the amazing work!

I want to take the time to share my experience with Core 4x4. I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler and was looking to upgrade some suspension parts. I went with Core 4x4 upper & lower adjustable control arms and a front adjustable track bar. Everything arrived quickly, and right out of the box I was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. I had a few questions during installation (measurements and torque specs), and I spoke with Korby on a couple of occasions. Not only did he send me detailed instructions, but he also shared an installation video specific to the part and vehicle I was working on, something you don’t get from many companies. The control arms fit perfectly, look great, and perform exactly as I hoped. I did run into an issue with the front track bar touching the front diff. When I reached out, Korby had me send pictures and then immediately offered two solutions: his bar guy could make a different bend and send it out to me, or I could get a full refund. His response honestly blew me away. As much as I wanted to run the Core 4x4 track bar, I chose the refund. Korby sent me a prepaid shipping label right away, no hassle. My experience with Core 4x4 has been excellent. Korby was extremely understanding, communicative, and helpful every step of the way. The parts I received were high quality, and the customer service was second to none. I would absolutely recommend Core 4x4 10 out of 10 times and will be using them again. Just a great American company with awesome people who truly care about their customers. Thank you Korby, and thank you Core 4x4!

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)

Exceptional customer service. All my questions were asked in a timely manner and parts were replaced when an error occured. I encourage people to make purchases due to their exceptional quality products, but also because of their customer service. Will make additional purchases in the future.

I contacted these guys on a Saturday through email and needed some control arms by the following weekend, Spence got back with me and told me he would make sure the order got shipped out on Monday, they got busy and wasn’t able to ship the package out so he got back with me that evening and upgraded my shipping for free and shipped out the next day, only because he told me he’d make sure I’d have them by the weekend! This company sticks to their word! The customer service from these guys are unmatched and they will have another lifetime customer here!

Core 4x4 has outstanding products at a fair price and unmatched customer service. When you call Korby, it's like talking with a friend. Very cool and helpul! I ordered some custom control arms, but from the wrong product line and they were super cool about returning them and upgrading to a better "Crawl" series. Only charged the difference between the two products. They paid all the return shipping and sent the uprgaded arms super quick. It was only a couple days. Awesome!! I couldn't be happier with the transaction👍🏼 Also, these control arms are stout and take a beating. I run heck out my Jeep in the rocks and desert. No problems whatsoever. Thanks Core 4x4, ya'll are welcome at my campfire anytime! Jake T. Pleasant Hill, Or.
