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

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.
