The Ultimate Steering Upgrade for Your Ford Super Duty
Upgrade your 2005-2016 Ford F250/F350 with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit, engineered for unmatched durability, steering precision, and front-end strength. Factory steering components wear out, weaken, and lead to misalignment, wandering, and bump steer, especially under heavy loads or off-road conditions.
This complete tie rod and drag link upgrade is built from 7075 aluminum, a high-strength material that flexes under impact to prevent permanent bending. Equipped with heavy-duty Apex tie rod ends and friction washers for absolute jam nut security, this kit maintains alignment, improves steering response, and enhances overall front-end stability.
What’s Included in the Kit?
- CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade – F-SD-05-TR1
- CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade – F-SD-05-DL1
Key Features Benefits
- 2” 7075 Aluminum Construction – Exceptionally strong yet flexible, absorbing impacts and returning to its original shape to maintain precise steering alignment.
- Heavy-Duty Apex Tie Rod Ends – Designed to handle extreme loads, ensuring long-lasting performance in all driving conditions.
- Friction Washer System for Secure Alignment – Serrated friction washers under jam nuts create a permanent mechanical lock, eliminating the risk of misalignment.
Unparalleled Steering Control Strength
This steering kit significantly reduces front-end play, improves handling, and ensures alignment stays locked in, even under the stress of off-road driving, heavy towing, or lifted applications. The advanced memory properties of 7075 aluminum prevent deformation, ensuring your steering remains precise and responsive, even after hard impacts.
Two-Stage Powder Coating for Customization Durability
The tie rod and drag link are available in raw aluminum or 10 powder coat colors to match your truck’s aesthetic. Our two-stage powder coating process includes a zinc primer base for corrosion resistance and a durable top coat for long-lasting protection.
Made in the USA
Proudly manufactured in Orem, UT, our CORE 4X4 steering components are built with American craftsmanship and industry-leading quality control, ensuring the highest level of performance and reliability.

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.
