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.

Ordered a control arm and track bar kit for my WJ from Core 4x4 on Monday 7/28 and received it today, Friday 8/1. Im not a state or two away, im in CT aka the other side of the country. Communication is phenominal, emails were responded too in an hour or less. Parts arrived well packed, not damaged, and are great quality for my needs. There arent many companies left that service customers as well as Core 4x4 and i wont hesitate to check them out again if i need something else. Well done!

Finally a company with a great product and customer service to match. I changed my order last minute from short arms to long arms. The lift is extremely well built. Korbey was awesome! Highly recommend Core 4x4

I’m extremely impressed with Core 4x4. The quality of their parts is outstanding — everything feels solid, well‑built, and engineered with real attention to detail. Shipping was fast and everything arrived perfectly packaged. Their customer service is just as good as their products: responsive, helpful, and genuinely committed to making sure you get exactly what you need. Overall, a top‑tier experience. I’ll definitely be buying from them again. Specially thank you Mr. Linscomb from Core 4x4. Arturo M.

Amazing service. Bought a track bar through Americantrucks.com and they sent it with the wrong size bushing sleeve. Korby at Core 4x4 was quick to get me the correct size and very responsive. Will definitely be using more of their stuff.

Phenomenal company - very rare to come by in the automotive industry. Also very impressing. Let me start here. I got a set of yellow sway bar end links for my 19 ram DT (new body style) and let me tell you, I’m hooked. For numerous reasons. One the craftsmanship behind the product is unmatched for sure for without breaking the bank. 2ndly, they stand behind their product. Had a very minor issue and it was resolved in a blink of an eye!!! Insane. Just because of what i listed above i will forever spend my money with core 4x4! And i think you should too! I have no affiliation at all with this company besides being a consumer. I will be ordering my yellow UCAs and the rest of my rear suspension from them here shortly! Korby on the other hand. The representative that helped me went above and beyond FAST. I hung up the phone with him, and with in no lie 3 minutes he was calling back with an answer. GREAT GREAT GREAT customer service, Korby you and core 4x4 are what give us hope in the car community! With much love and great health to you all!!

Installed the full kit on my XJ. Ride quality is night and day better than what I had before. The articulation on the trail is insane. These guys know what they are doing. Already recommended Core 4x4 to everyone in my club.

First time buying from Korby @ Core 4x4 and it’s being nothing short of a great experience. I bought the non adjustable Trail kit for my 5th Gen Ram 1500 with a 2” lift. The welds look great, nice powder coat finish and quality bushing. Had some trouble fitting the grease nipples due to the powder coating but a thread tap would fix that. They fit easily and perform great. I felt the improvement straight away. No more wheel hop on hard acceleration which was my main reason for the purchase. I was missing some smaller bushings needed for the 5th Gen and Korby’s custom service was on point, with responsive emails and mailing out the missing parts straight away. Very happy with their products and customer service. Highly recommended company👌🏽
