Upgrade Your 4Runner’s Rear Suspension for Ultimate Performance

Transform your Toyota 4Runner’s suspension with the Cruise Series Complete Rear Kit, designed for model years 1996-2002. This comprehensive upgrade enhances stability, alignment, and axle control, ensuring improved handling and suspension durability both on and off the road.

What’s Included in the Kit?

  • Cruise Series Rear Upper Control Arms – CRS-T-4R-96-RU2
  • Cruise Series Rear Lower Control Arms – CRS-T-4R-96-RL2
  • Cruise Series Rear Track Bar – CRS-T-4R-96-RTB

Key Features and Benefits

  • Precise Pinion Angle and Axle Alignment – Adjustability allows for proper pinion angle correction, reducing driveline vibrations and improving drivetrain efficiency.
  • Enhanced Stability and Handling – Rear track bar and control arms work together to keep the rear axle centered, reducing body sway and tire wear.
  • Adjustability for Lifts – Designed for 0 to 6-inch lifts, ensuring optimal suspension geometry and flexibility for future lift modifications.
  • Tapered Polyurethane Bushings – Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while offering longer-lasting durability and improved ride quality.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Robust steel tubing provides superior strength and durability over factory components.

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

The Cruise Series Complete Rear Kit is a must-have upgrade for Toyota 4Runner owners looking to enhance rear axle stability, eliminate driveline vibrations, and improve off-road handling. 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. Upgrade your 4Runner today and experience improved stability, smoother handling, and ultimate durability on any terrain!

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts to arrive in time for a show. When I explained my concern they went above and beyond to make it happen. Quality of the parts is top notch.

I have nothing but good things to say about Core 4x4. I have the crawler series on my JKU and we take it all over the place. These parts handle everything we throw at them.

Best control arms I have installed on any of my builds. After running every major manufacturer, Core 4x4 is on par or better than all the high-end companies at a fraction of the cost. Lifetime warranty is the cherry on top.

Customer service is top notch. They answered all of my questions and got me my tracking number for my packages. I just received both of them and the quality is next level. You guys are truly awesome.

The customer service is first class. I had an issue with a track bar I installed on my F350. I don’t have any other Core 4x4 parts yet, but with the way I was treated, I know their parts are well done, because they went above and beyond to make sure I was made whole. They wouldn’t be in business if they had to take care of a lot of people like they took care of me. Will definitely be back when it’s time to build the Jeep!

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!

These guys are great. You can get them on the phone for support. This important and is not always the case with other custom parts builders. Their control arms are bomb proof and offer plenty of options. You can get real genuine Currie Johnny joints without paying the price for Currie arms.

2022 I ordered a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in High Velocity yellow. Without any hesitation I knew I was going with Core 4x4’s 16pc Camp series suspension, powder coated in yellow. Compliments were a given from any and everyone that looked under my jeep. So beefy, I may have left some yellow paint on the rocks from Maine to Florida, but no bends or breaks. Customer service has been perfect each and every time I have needed something. Their warranty is top notch! Their communication is also wonderful. Might upgrade to the Crawl Series control arms where the Johnny joints are on both sides. Great all around company and a great team to troubleshoot your issue and come to a conclusion. Nothing bad to say about this company. Just love this suspension.

Installed rear and upper control arms and track bar on my 3rd Gen 4RUNNER to align rear axle and restore factory wheel base after 3.5" lift. Car drives better than New! Improved handling cornering and overall driving. Very solid and high quality made product. Support is outstanding. Shipping extremely fast. Thank you so much. I wish you will have something new for my car.
