Upgrade Your Jeep Wrangler JK’s Steering Performance

Upgrade your 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK’s steering with the Core 4×4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade. Designed for extreme off-road durability, this complete drag link assembly enhances steering precision, impact resistance, and long-term reliability. Whether you're tackling rugged trails or navigating daily commutes, this upgrade ensures unmatched control and durability.

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Features forged tie rod ends with massive 1.25” threaded shanks for superior strength and longevity.
  • Solid 7075 Aluminum Build – Constructed from 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum, designed to flex under impact to prevent bending or knuckle damage.
  • Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – The aluminum’s unique memory properties allow it to return to its original shape after impact, maintaining optimal steering performance.
  • Customizable Finish Options – Choose between raw aluminum or 10 distinct powder coat colors to match your Jeep’s build.

Unmatched Steering Control Durability

Engineered for extreme off-road use, the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade reinforces your Jeep’s steering system, ensuring precise control over rough terrain. Its solid 7075 aluminum construction absorbs impact forces, preventing bar deformation while protecting critical steering components.

Fitment Wheel Requirements

  • Works with 17” wheels featuring 4.75” backspacing or less.
  • AEV and stock Rubicon wheels require 1.5” wheel spacers.
  • Steering stabilizer installation – We recommend fitting in the stock location—a relocation kit may be required.


  • Vehicle Fitment: Designed for the Jeep Wrangler JK 07-18, 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.

  • Adjustability: CNC-machined wrench flats and jam nuts with friction washers allow precise on-vehicle alignment, ensuring tight, responsive steering in any terrain.

  • 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.

  • Two-Stage Powder Coating: Zinc primer base and top coat available in 10 vibrant colors protect against corrosion and allow for personalized styling of your rig.

  • Warranty and Origin: Proudly manufactured in the United States, our product includes a lifetime warranty on all non-wear items, providing you with confidence and peace of mind in your purchase.

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!

Ordered a set of Core 4x4 control arms for my 2006 Jeep TJ. These are some heavy duty quality control arms. Can't wait to get them installed. Great customer service too!

I have nothing but good things to say about Core 4x4. I have the crawler series on my JKU and we take it all over the place. These parts handle everything we throw at them.

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts, to arrive in time for a show, when I explained my concern of possibly not getting the control arms in time. Quality is amazing on the part, affordable price for what you get, and the powdercoat is top notch, not a single issue with this product, would buy again.

Not sure where to start, Products or Service or Warranty. Products: I found Core4x4 through a very respected YouTuber in the Jeeping community. I purchased an entire set of Core4x4 Control Arms three years ago and have beat the daylights out of them and they are still in great condition. Now, I purchased another Jeep, this time for my daughter and bought yet another set of Control Arms because I know that these things can take a beating and stand up to it. I plan on replacing more parts on this TJ and my JL and will continue to buy from Core4x4. Service: This isn't some huge name conglomerate that treats you like you're just another customer. They are quick with responses and will always make things right should something be a problem. Oh and the quickness in which they ship their products is unmatched. I bought these CAs for my TJ on Thursday, I received them on Monday. Most other manufacturers will tell you weeks, they had them to me in 2 shipping days. Warranty: Seriously, a lifetime warranty? Yes please. Nothing more to say. I can't say enough about how great of a company this is. I've even spoken to the owner through email a few years back on some questions that I had. Support small American built businesses. P.S. Core 4x4, feel free to make me an ambassador and send me some swag :) .

I have bought a bunch of sets of arms, track bars and even had custom work done by Core 4x4. Just yesterday, Spence and Cam delivered an awesome cross member they designed and built for me! All of their products have been exceptional! I have personally seen their progression with design changes/updates. They truly take pride in their work and products. Quality control is second to none! They’ve also helped me diagnose issues with different jeeps I’ve had, as well as Dodge/Rams. These guys know their stuff! Really! I trust them whole heartedly and absolutely love their products/quality of work! I’ve referred many people, and will always continue to do so. Keep up the good work Core4x4!

Awesome product and service! I even got some of their swag because it looked pretty darn good. I will definitely be going back and would suggest this business to others looking for quality control arms. Buy local!
