Upgrade Your Jeep Wrangler JL’s Steering System
Upgrade your 2018–present Jeep Wrangler JL with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade. Designed for off-road durability and precision steering, this complete drag link assembly ensures maximum strength, impact resistance, and long-term performance. Whether you’re tackling technical trails or daily driving, this upgrade provides the confidence and control needed for any terrain.
Key Features Benefits
- Heavy-Duty Forged Construction – Built with forged tie rod ends featuring 1.25” threaded shanks for exceptional durability.
- 2.0” Solid 7075 Aluminum Bar – High-strength aluminum absorbs impact, preventing tie rod bending or knuckle damage.
- Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – The 7075 aluminum allows the drag link to flex and return to its original shape after impact, ensuring long-term performance.
- Customizable Finish Options – Choose between raw aluminum or 10 distinct powder coat colors to match your Jeep’s build.
Ultimate Steering Control Durability
The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade is built to handle extreme off-road conditions while maintaining precise steering control. Unlike traditional steel components, the solid 7075 aluminum construction absorbs and disperses impact energy, protecting your steering system from damage and ensuring long-lasting performance.
Important Notes
For vehicles with less than a 4.5" lift, the under-the-knuckle setup is recommended. If your vehicle is lifted 4.5" or above, we recommend the over-the-knuckle setup which requires relocating your track bar to keep the angles correct and prevent bump steer.
Fitment Wheel Requirements
- Compatible with 17” wheels featuring 4.75” backspacing or less.
- AEV and stock Rubicon wheels require 1.5” wheel spacers.
Vehicle Fitment: Designed for the Jeep Wrangler JL 18+, this 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade enhances steering strength, control, and impact resistance for extreme off-road applications.
CORE Advantage: Features a 7075 aluminum self-correcting design that flexes under impact and returns to shape, preventing steering damage while maintaining precise handling.

Construction: Machined from solid 2.0” 7075 aluminum for extreme impact resistance and durability. Features massive 1.25” threaded tie rod ends for superior strength and CNC-machined wrench flats for easy adjustments.
