JK / JKU 1-TON HEAVY DUTY ALUMINUM TIE ROD AND DRAG LINK FACTORY LOCATION KIT

The factory JK tie rod is made from a hollow thin-wall tube. The PROBLEM is that most aftermarket units are still made of steel which once bent will stay bent. Our tie rod and drag link are made with 1.5" SOLID 7075 aircraft aluminum. 7075 aluminum carries a memory to it. When it is bent, it pops back into place!

Never replace your tie rod again!!!

Features:

7075 Center section with Limited Lifetime Warranty
Hexed ends for easy adjustment
Right and left hand threaded offset 1-ton tie rod ends for one-handed adjustment on toe settings
Greaseable 1-ton tie rod ends
Bolt-on steering (No Drilling Required)

PLEASE NOTE:

Stabilizer must be run in the stock location
Clamp sold separately
AEV or stock Rubicon wheels require a 1.5" wheel spacer
17" wheel with a 4.75" backspacing or less required
Recommended for less than 3'' lift
Flip kit recommended if 3'' or higher lift

BOLT ON JK 1 Ton Steering System (Tie Rod & Drag Link)

The factory steering on your JK/JKU is prone to bending with even very light offroad use. We have designed a steering system that not only will withstand hardcore offroad abuse, but one that will also give you a phenomenal steering experience on the pavement. Our HD Steering system for the JK includes a heavy duty tie rod and drag link, completely replacing the stock steering system with much stronger parts that come with a lifetime warranty against failure.

This is the perfect steering upgrade for any JK/JKU from a daily driven rig to a dedicated trail rig. Installation is simple, no drilling, reaming, cutting, or welding required! Simply remove your stock components and bolt ours on!

1.5" 1045 Solid Steel Construction (Substantially Stronger than Stock)

New and Improved Jeep JK Wrangler Heavy Duty Drag Link. Improving upon the success of our previous 8001 JK Drag Link, this version is larger in size and strength and prevents unwanted Drag Link Flop. You will not find a better drag link on the market!

Fits: 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK)

Benefits:

Drag Link fits all JK Wranglers, including those with aftermarket JK axle housings.
Larger tubing size than previous design improves drag link strength and steering feel. Offers a more direct connection to the road/trail compared to stock; no more bent drag links and constantly having to re-center your steering wheel.
Synergy Heavy Duty Metal on Metal Tie Rod Ends are stronger and more durable than stock and include grease fittings/replaceable dust boots for ease of maintenance. Synergy High Performance Grease recommended (4119).
Pitman arm side tie rod end is now a single plane design to eliminate unwanted drag link flop. You spoke and we listened. Drastically simplifies installation and only allows necessary degree of movement.
Drag Link Flip Adapter is NOW INCLUDED for those who will be converting to high steer. No longer need to purchase this part separately.

Features:

Drag Link bolts right into the factory mounts or can be relocated to the top of the steering knuckle for a high steer setup using included flip adapter (See Notes for high steer requirements)
No factory drag link components need to be reused
Includes Synergy HD Metal on Metal Tie Rod Ends with a Single Plane version at the pitman arm side to completely eliminate Drag Link Flop
Made from 1.5 inch x .250 wall DOM tubing
Abrasion-resistant powder coat finish for maximum durability and corrosion resistance
Synergy Double Adjuster Sleeve allows adjustment of drag link length without removing it from the vehicle
100% bolt-on components assures an easy, trouble free installation with the use of basic hand tools
Synergy Tie Rod and Drag Link both use the same tie rod end thread pitch, so one spare tie rod end (4131-L) can be used in any location in the steering.

Includes:

(1) Drag Link
(1) Rod End Double Adjuster Sleeve (3622-07-18-PL)
(1) Pinch Bolt Hardware
(1) Single Plane Tie Rod End (4139-L) (Pitman arm side)
(1) Tie Rod End (4131-L) (Knuckle side)
(1) Flip Adapter (8000-02)

Notes:

Supersedes part number 8001.
Drag Link is designed to be used in the stock location for up to 3 inch lift heights. For 3-6 inch lift heights the drag link should be flipped for a high steer setup.
High Steer setup requires the Drag Link to be relocated to the top of the steering knuckle. Must use in conjunction with a raised front axle side track bar relocation bracket (See Synergy 8055, 8012-13, or 8009-01). Rear track bar should ideally be raised a similar amount at the axle.
High Steer setup requires 16 inch or larger wheel diameter with a maximum 4-3/4 inch backspacing or wheel spacer with factory wheel setup. 4-1/2 inch back spacing is recommended.
Minimum Length (Collapsed) = 38.75 inch
Maximum Length (Extended) = 41.25 inch

Is a drag link the same as a tie rod?

Drag Links (DLs) connect the steering gear and the pitman arm at one vehicle wheel. Tie Rods (TRs) connect the steering knuckles at the left and at the right wheel to transfer the steering forces.

What does a drag link flip do?

The drag link flip flattens out the steering angles when combined with the lift heights of 2” and above providing better performing, more solid steering feel over the factory setup. To properly compliment the new steering angles provided by the drag link flip, a front track bar bracket is supplied.

What is a drag link on a Jeep?

The drag link in your steering system connects your pitman arm on your steering box to the steering knuckle or tie rod. As you move your steering wheel, the pitman arm moves, and thus allows you to steer your Jeep.
