Details
Core 4x4's Cruise Series 4-piece rear control arm set replaces all four worn factory stamped-steel arms on the GMC Yukon XL 1500 (2000–2006). The factory arms use soft rubber bushings and a fixed length, so there's no way to re-align the rear axle or correct pinion angle after a lift or leveling kit. These Core 4x4 arms are a serious step up: heavier steel construction, fresh poly bushings, and adjustable length to set rear axle alignment and pinion angle back to spec.
They're also built to grow with your truck. When you want more articulation later, each arm's adjustable end accepts the same forged Rock Jock Johnny Joints our Camp arms use, so you can upgrade in place without replacing the arms.
Includes: Rear upper control arms (pair) and rear lower control arms (pair); mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, and washers).
Specs:
- Upper arms — 1.625 in. o.d. × 3/16 in. wall steel
- Lower arms — 1.875 in. o.d. × 3/16 in. wall steel
- Bushings — poly, all ends
- Adjustable length — for rear-axle alignment and pinion-angle correction
- Lift range — 0–6 in.
- Made in the USA
- Lifetime warranty — bend it or break it, we'll replace it
- Wear items (bushings, joints) — covered for 18 months
Suspension Type — Standard or Autoride (Z55): Select at checkout. Z55 trucks have factory rear air leveling; the Autoride version includes the ride-height sensor mounting tab on both rear upper arms. If you're not sure which you have, check the RPO sticker in the glove box for a Z55 code.
Notes:
- Hardware is included with your arms. If you ever need replacements down the road, the matching kit is available separately.
- Future upgrade: each arm's adjustable end accepts a forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint — the rear uppers take CE-9112N-22 (two) and the rear lowers take CE-9114 (two).
- Running a lift? The 5-piece rear kit (CRS-G-800-YXL-RK5) adds the adjustable track bar to recenter the axle side-to-side.
Parts:
- Upper poly bushings — BSH-UPBH-CB, 9/16-in. bolt (2 per upper arm, 4 for the upper pair).
- Lower poly bushings — BSH-LOBH-CB, 9/16-in. bolt (2 per lower arm, 4 for the lower pair).
- Replacement hardware kit — CRS-G-800-RS4-HWK.
Fits:
- Chevy Tahoe (2000–2006)
- Chevy Suburban 1500 (2000–2006)
- Chevy Avalanche 1500 (2002–2006)
- GMC Yukon / Yukon XL 1500 (2000–2006)
- GMC Yukon Denali / XL Denali (2001–2006)
- Cadillac Escalade / ESV / EXT (2002–2006)
- 1500-series only. Does NOT fit 2500-series HD.

I met a couple of the Core 4x4 guys at the Salt Lake Offroad Expo and decided to try them out after noticing one of my control arm bushings was disintegrated. I called to discuss parts on Thursday and I was leaving for a trip on Saturday. These guys built my control arms and had them ready to be picked up Friday, 24 hours later. The parts seem to be great quality and they charged me nothing extra to have them painted. These guys were extremely helpful and without them my trip probably would have been cancelled. looking forward to testing out the arms on my next trip to Moab.

I don’t write reviews often, but Core 4x4 absolutely earned this one.
I recently ordered leaf spring mounts and realized after the fact that I messed up my order. Totally my mistake. Instead of giving me the runaround or pointing at a return policy, Core 4x4 emailed me back and forth, worked through exactly what I was doing with my build, and made sure I ended up with the correct parts.
That kind of customer service is rare these days — especially in the off-road world where a lot of companies stop caring once the order is placed.
The parts themselves are exactly what you hope for: solid, well-made, confidence-inspiring hardware that looks like it belongs under a vehicle that actually gets used. You can tell these are designed by people who understand suspension geometry and real-world abuse, not just CAD screenshots.
Mistakes happen — especially on custom or modified builds — and Core 4x4 handled mine like pros. Fast responses, clear communication, and a genuine effort to help me get it right.
If you’re on the fence: don’t be. Core 4x4 is the kind of company you want backing your build — the kind that treats customers like fellow enthusiasts, not order numbers.

First time buying from Korby @ Core 4x4 and it’s being nothing short of a great experience. I bought the non adjustable Trail kit for my 5th Gen Ram 1500 with a 2” lift. The welds look great, nice powder coat finish and quality bushing. Had some trouble fitting the grease nipples due to the powder coating but a thread tap would fix that. They fit easily and perform great. I felt the improvement straight away. No more wheel hop on hard acceleration which was my main reason for the purchase.
I was missing some smaller bushings needed for the 5th Gen and Korby’s custom service was on point, with responsive emails and mailing out the missing parts straight away. Very happy with their products and customer service. Highly recommended company👌🏽

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts, to arrive in time for a show, when I explained my concern of possibly not getting the control arms in time. Quality is amazing on the part, affordable price for what you get, and the powdercoat is top notch, not a single issue with this product, would buy again.

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.

Ordered a control arm and track bar kit for my WJ from Core 4x4 on Monday 7/28 and received it today, Friday 8/1. Im not a state or two away, im in CT aka the other side of the country. Communication is phenominal, emails were responded too in an hour or less. Parts arrived well packed, not damaged, and are great quality for my needs. There arent many companies left that service customers as well as Core 4x4 and i wont hesitate to check them out again if i need something else. Well done!

Korby was extremely helpful in helping me find the right part for my truck. He was kind, knowledgeable, and patient while I asked a million questions. He also went out of his way to find the right shipping option for me since it’s tricky where I live. I’m looking forward to getting the parts so I can fix my truck and go adventuring again soon!

Recieved warrenty exchanges for my control arms last night couldnt be happier!!! Lets talk about the arms tho! Great quality arms in multiple styles and colors!!! I purchased the teir 3 short arns for my 98 xj. I can say that they setoff nicely so my 35 inch tires do not rub! As long as you can get a photo or video of broken hardware core will take care of you. The body of the arm is bulletproof. However make sure to maintain and grease the joints regularly as with any greaseable joint and they shouldkast forever. I had a few problems arise a year after purchase and after some troubleshooting spence was able to help get me the correct parts to get back on the road. I recommend this setup to any and all jeepers looking to get away from the stock arm setup. Alltogether i am Very happy with the performace of my control arms!!!! Mechanic and bodyman of 12 years and my first choice for quality control arms!!
