The Ultimate Front-End Upgrade Kit for Ford Super Duty
Upgrade your 2005–2016 Ford F250/F350 with the ultimate front-end performance package, featuring CORE 4X4’s Adjustable Front Track Bar and 2.5 Ton Steering Kit. This kit addresses common steering and alignment issues by replacing weak factory components with high-performance alternatives built for precision, strength, and durability. Whether you're towing, off-roading, or daily driving, this combination ensures rock-solid front-end stability, precise steering control, and improved suspension geometry across all conditions and lift heights.
Our track bar is built from heavy-duty 1.5" OD cold-rolled steel and features a chromoly adjuster sleeve, allowing on-vehicle fine-tuning for perfect axle alignment across 0-4.5" inches of lift. Whether you're towing, hauling, or tackling rugged terrain, this track bar ensures your axle stays centered, your steering stays sharp, and your suspension stays rock-solid. Complementing it, the 2.5 Ton Steering Kit replaces the tie rod and drag link with 7075 aluminum upgrades and heavy-duty Apex ends for lasting alignment and confident handling. Together, they deliver a responsive, tight, and bulletproof steering setup for your Super Duty.

Built for Strength and Stability
The track bar features cold-rolled 1.5" OD steel and replaceable polyurethane bushings to reduce NVH and increase durability. Its adjustability ensures your axle stays centered and your geometry dialed in, even with suspension lifts or oversized tires. The included APEX ball joint upgrade adds even more strength and precision for high-mileage or heavily modified setups.
The 2.5 Ton Steering Kit’s aluminum construction offers a unique balance of strength and flexibility, with a 2.25” tie rod and 1.75” drag link that maintain alignment even after hard hits. Apex tie rod ends are engineered for extreme environments, while the friction washer system ensures alignment settings stay locked in, even under aggressive off-road or towing conditions.

Select your lift size in Step 1 — the kit ships with the correct geometry for that height. If you're running a non-standard setup, call us before ordering and we'll confirm compatibility.
Death wobble is a geometry problem, not just worn parts. Cruise Series corrects caster angle and eliminates the flex points that let shimmy start. Replacing one part at a time delays the fix — this replaces the geometry.
Yes, if you've done a lift kit before. Full-day project. Watch the complete JT install walkthrough on our YouTube channel — most owners wrap it in a day. Any off-road shop can run it if you'd rather have it done.
Any non-wear component fails — we replace it. No mileage cap. No maintenance intervals to track. No fine print about voiding if you miss a service. Lifetime means lifetime.
Teraflex's lifetime warranty voids if you miss a maintenance interval. MetalCloak's actual parts warranty is 12 months — their "lifetime" language refers to their service program. No conditions here.
