Take your Jeep Gladiator JT’s steering performance to the next level with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade. Engineered for extreme off-road durability, precise handling, and maximum impact resistance, this tie rod upgrade ensures unwavering control in any terrain. Whether you're rock crawling, navigating deep ruts, or tackling high-speed desert trails, this premium tie rod provides superior strength and reliability under the toughest conditions.

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-duty forged construction – Built with forged tie rod ends featuring massive 1.25” threaded shanks, delivering unparalleled strength and longevity.
  • Premium 7075 aluminum build – Machined from 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum, this tie rod absorbs and disperses impact forces, preventing steering component failure and suspension damage.
  • Self-correcting memory alloy – The aluminum’s memory properties allow the tie rod to flex under impact and return to its original shape, maintaining optimal steering performance.
  • Advanced anti-roll technology – Integrated anti-roll capability in the tie rod ends prevents flopping and instability, ensuring tight, precise steering.

Recommended Pairing

Maximize steering durability and responsiveness by pairing with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade (ST-J-JT-DL1).

Precision Engineering Maximum Control

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade is designed to outperform and outlast factory steering components. CNC-machined wrench flats allow for easy jam nut adjustments, while friction washers ensure jam nuts stay tight in extreme off-road environments. This tie rod bolts directly into factory locations, providing hassle-free installation and a factory-like fit.

You Break It, We Replace It Wearable Parts Guarantee

CORE 4X4 backs this tie rod upgrade with a warranty (you break it, we replace it)—if you permanently bend the tie rod or break a tie rod end, we’ll replace it, no questions asked. Additionally, tie rod ends are covered under our wearable parts guarantee for 18 months, ensuring long-term reliability.

Fitment Wheel Requirements

This tie rod upgrade is compatible with 17” wheels featuring 4.75” backspacing or less. AEV and stock Rubicon wheels require 1.5” wheel spacers for proper clearance. The kit includes a steering stabilizer clamp for use with factory or factory-style stabilizers, though a relocation kit may be required for certain setups.

Built from race-proven 7075 aluminum, this upgrade ensures tight, controlled steering while protecting your suspension and steering components from excessive stress.

Good company, they offer well built parts and Great customer service. I had a couple of hang ups with my control arms that I purchased, they were very easy to work with and found the solution to make them work.

I bought the 16pc Cruise Series Adjustable Control Arm, Track Bar, Steering, End Link Kit to replace a worn budget 4" lift on my used JKU. These are top quality parts; very solid. Customer service is unsurpassed. They even matched prices on my order placed before the tax day sale. I made an error in ordering a drag link flip kit; they were quick to help me fix this too. There's peace of mind knowing these components are made in the USA. Thank you. 👍👍

Bought a new 2019 Ram 1500. Had bad rear wheel hop since new, got all four core 4x4 control arms and it fixed the issue. Thanks

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.

After ordering an upper and lower adjustable control arm kit manufactured by CORE 4X4 from a jeep parts distributor who's intials are E.T., they came with 3 of the threaded ends missing. After over 2 months of phone calls and emails to this E.T. company nothing was resolved. I finally decided to call CORE 4X4 myself and tell them my dilemma. I spoke with a very personable and professional gentleman named Korby, who is one of CORE 4X4's representatives, after a brief discussion of what I went thru he simply asked me for a picture and some measurements and the items I was missing and asked if I could cover ONLY the cost of shipping and I had my missing parts in exactly 1 weeks time. This company not only builds all it's parts in the U.S.A., they stand behind their products with great customer service and life time warranty. My experience with this company and their Rep Korby was fantastic. I would definitely recommend CORE 4X4 to anyone who needs parts for any 4x4 projects. You just can't beat their quality and service.

Great experience with Core 4x4! I purchased some suspension parts for my dad's 98 Jeep TJ. The products they make are super durable and look even better in person. Attention to detail and overall superior quality. The staff at Core 4x4 is super helpful also, Korby has been great. Updating me on the status of my order and sending me tracking numbers as well. Thank you all at Core 4x4, keep up the amazing work!
