Essential Vehicle Stability

Enhance your Jeep Wrangler TJ or LJ’s handling, stability, and axle alignment with the Cruise Series Rear Track Bar. Designed for 1997-2006 models, this track bar ensures your rear axle remains properly centered, reducing instability, body roll, and rear-end wandering on- and off-road. It’s a must-have upgrade for lifted vehicles, particularly those dealing with steering drift or axle misalignment.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Superior Axle Centering – Eliminates rear-end wandering and ensures proper alignment for improved handling and stability.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Built from 1.5" OD .313" wall heavy-duty steel tubing, reinforced with high-quality polyurethane bushings for durability and smooth operation.
  • Recommended Pairing – For complete rear suspension control and precise pinion angle adjustment, pair with our Cruise Series Rear Control Arm Set (CRS-J-TJLJ-RS4).

Perfect Fit for Lifted Jeeps

When lifting your TJ or LJ, the axle shifts laterally, impacting alignment and suspension geometry. Our adjustable rear track bar corrects this issue, re-centering the axle for better drivability, reduced tire wear, and improved suspension function.

  • For 0 to 3-inch lifts, this track bar is a direct bolt-in upgrade.
  • For 3+ inch lifts, or vehicles with an SYE, a corrected axle mount is required due to the steeper pinion angle rotation and clearance issues between the bar and the factory mount.

Two-Stage Powder Coating

To ensure maximum durability and corrosion resistance, all track bars undergo a two-stage powder coating process: Zinc primer base coat for superior rust protection. Durable top coat, available in 10 color options, allowing customization to match your Jeep’s look.

Made in the USA

Proudly manufactured in Orem, UT, our Cruise Series components are built with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship, supporting American-made manufacturing standards.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

Designed for easy installation using factory hardware, but for those dealing with rusted or seized bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits, available separately for a hassle-free install.

For complete rear suspension tuning, pair it with our Cruise Series Rear Control Arm Set (CRS-J-TJLJ-RS4) and experience a fully optimized ride.

  • Vehicle Fitment: Jeep Wrangler TJ/LJ 97-06 – Ensures precise rear axle alignment, eliminating rear-end wandering and enhancing vehicle stability for improved handling both on-road and off-road.

  • Two-Stage Powder Coating: Zinc primer base and top coat available in 10 vibrant colors protect against corrosion and allow for personalized styling of your rig.

Core 4x4 excels with precision and service and keeps nothing else higher in mind. Everyone I've met at the company is very honest and down to earth, 10/10 would recommend.

Very beefy items for a very reasonable price.  Personally have CORE rear track bar and all upper control arms for my 04 Jeep TJ.  Had a slight issue with control arm length and they went above and beyond to swap jam nuts to get me where I needed to be.  Really have to appreciate a company like this.

After ordering an upper and lower adjustable control arm kit manufactured by CORE 4X4 from a jeep parts distributor who's intials are E.T., they came with 3 of the threaded ends missing. After over 2 months of phone calls and emails to this E.T. company nothing was resolved. I finally decided to call CORE 4X4 myself and tell them my dilemma. I spoke with a very personable and professional gentleman named Korby, who is one of CORE 4X4's representatives, after a brief discussion of what I went thru he simply asked me for a picture and some measurements and the items I was missing and asked if I could cover ONLY the cost of shipping and I had my missing parts in exactly 1 weeks time. This company not only builds all it's parts in the U.S.A., they stand behind their products with great customer service and life time warranty. My experience with this company and their Rep Korby was fantastic. I would definitely recommend CORE 4X4 to anyone who needs parts for any 4x4 projects. You just can't beat their quality and service.

I want to share a truly positive experience. I ordered a car kit consisting of two packages, but unfortunately one was lost during shipping with UPS. The situation could have become complicated... but it didn't. The company manager was extremely helpful and professional: he personally followed up on the situation and did everything he could to resolve the issue, even sending me the package again without hesitation. It's rare to find such attentive and reliable customer service these days. My sincere congratulations on your professionalism and commitment: that makes all the difference.

Top-notch company with high-quality products made right here in the U.S.A.

Small business, family owned, made in the USA, lifetime warranty. Purchased Tier 3 control arms and rear track bar for a 2006 Jeep LJ. Simple website and easy to contact over phone and email. I had some technical questions and they were happy to answer them. They allow local pickup and were built to order same week. The order was wrapped and ready when I walked in and even gave a tour of the shop. They abrasive blast all raw materials to achieve a better surface profile for powdercoat to adhere and create a smooth, durable finish. I also noticed several CNC machines and a robotic welder they use for all their parts. A small outfit with a robotic welder? Their concern for quality is obvious and it shows in the parts they make. Very impressed. Happy to do business with these guys.

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!

I've been having trouble with the track bar (on my 2nd gen Dodge) since I installed the 3rd gen Synergy adapter bracket and a 3rd gen stock bar.. oddly, they call it a '3rd gen bracket' and the stock 3rd gen bar doesn't quite fit, making contact with the bracket. I had attempted to clearance the bracket but it was still making contact and I could feel it over large bumps. I reached out to a lot of companies, but Core 4x4 offered to make a custom bar for the application with adjustability and dual Johnny joints. The first pass on it didn't work but they sent me out another passenger side end that made it fit incredibly well. This was all done solely over email/descriptions/pictures/measurements. Bar is super high quality and heavy duty, made in the US by a family owned company and carries a lifetime warranty. The customer service was responsive and superb, and the price was a lot less than I expected.

The parts are a massive improvement over factory. I accidentally ordered the wrong endlinks and they helped me figure out the correct size and sent me new ones. Definitely an awesome store
