Take your 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK to the next level with the CORE 4X4 JK Rear Long Arm Kit (J-JK-R-LAK4)—a game-changing upgrade designed to enhance articulation, ride quality, axle stability, and durability. This weld-on kit completely redefines your rear suspension geometry, allowing for a longer arc of travel, resulting in smoother suspension movement, better traction, and unmatched off-road capability.
Designed for serious off-roaders, this kit features massively upgraded bracketry, extended-length control arms, and industry-leading materials for a stronger, more controlled, and more capable suspension system. Whether you're tackling extreme rock crawls, desert trails, or rugged terrain, this rear long arm kit provides unparalleled handling and durability.
What’s Included in the Kit?
- Rear Lower Long Arms (7075 Aluminum, 2” OD) – Built for extreme off-road abuse while maintaining ride quality.
- Rear Upper Long Arms (7075 Aluminum, 1.5” OD) – Lightweight yet incredibly strong for consistent suspension control.
- Left and Right Rear Frame Brackets with Integrated Body Mount Relocation (3/16” Steel, Weld-On) – Reinforces suspension mounting points while ensuring proper body mount positioning for maximum clearance and articulation.
- Complete Installation Hardware – High-strength bolts, nuts, and washers for a secure and reliable installation.
Key Features and Benefits
- Optimized Suspension Travel Geometry – The true long arm design extends control arm mounting points for a longer arc of suspension travel, resulting in a smoother ride, better flex, and superior traction across all terrains. Reduces axle steer and bump steer, improving both high-speed stability and low-speed crawling performance.
- Ultra-Strong 7075 Aluminum Control Arms with ‘Memory’ – Rear Lower and Upper Long Arms are crafted from 2-inch and 1.5-inch 7075 aluminum, balancing lightweight performance and extreme durability. The 'memory' of 7075 aluminum allows the control arms to flex under impact and return to their original shape, preventing permanent bending or deformation. Improves suspension longevity, ensuring consistent geometry and reliability on the toughest trails.
- Precision-Welded 3/16” Steel Brackets for Maximum Durability – All frame brackets are laser-cut and precision-bent from 3/16” steel, delivering an unbreakable mounting system that eliminates flex and provides rock-solid stability. The rear frame brackets integrate body mount relocation, eliminating interference issues while reinforcing your Jeep’s structure.
- Weld-On Installation for a Permanent Performance Upgrade – Requires cutting and welding for installation, ensuring a permanent and incredibly strong suspension system. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results.
