Take Your Jeep Wrangler JL’s Steering to the Next Level

Engineered for unrivaled strength, precision, and off-road resilience, the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit Upgrade delivers maximum durability and uncompromised control in the toughest terrains. Whether you're navigating technical rock climbs, conquering extreme trails, or daily driving, this kit ensures your Jeep stays responsive and steady under any conditions.

Key Features Benefits

  • Unmatched Steering Strength – Built with forged tie rod and drag link ends featuring massive 1.25” threaded shanks, ensuring long-lasting strength and superior impact resistance.
  • Premium 7075 Aluminum Construction – Machined from 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum, this kit absorbs and disperses impact forces, preventing steering component failures in extreme off-road conditions.
  • Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – The aluminum's memory properties allow the tie rod and drag link to flex under impact and return to their original shape, maintaining precise steering alignment.
  • Customizable Powder Coat Finish – Choose from 10 distinct powder coat colors or opt for raw aluminum to match your Jeep’s rugged build.
  • Recommended Pairing – Enhance steering precision by pairing with the Crawl Series Front Track Bar (CRL-J-JL-FTB1) for maximum stability and improved handling.

Ultimate Steering Performance Durability

Designed for off-road dominance, the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit Upgrade reinforces your Jeep Wrangler JL’s steering system, providing greater response, improved control, and exceptional durability. Unlike traditional steel tie rods and drag links, our 7075 aluminum components absorb shock without bending, protecting your steering knuckles and suspension from unnecessary stress.

Lifetime Warranty Wearable Parts Guarantee

Lifetime Warranty – If you permanently bend the tie rod or drag link or break a tie rod end, we’ll replace it—no questions asked. Wearable Parts Guarantee – Tie rod ends are covered for 18 months, ensuring long-lasting reliability.

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.
  • Steering stabilizer installation – Recommended in the stock location—a relocation kit may be required for certain setups.

Conclusion

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit Upgrade is the ultimate solution for 2018–present Jeep Wrangler JL owners seeking unmatched steering durability, precision handling, and off-road reliability. Built from race-proven 7075 aluminum, this kit enhances control, prevents failures, and ensures long-term performance in the harshest environments. Upgrade today and experience the confidence of total steering control.

Purchased a set of Trailing arms for my Ram 1500, quality is first class. I bought the ones with the Jonny Joints for more articulation and it appears from the construction I should get a lifetime of use, Zerk fittings are an added plus. Would defiantly recommend, and the the service team answered all of my questions.

I contacted these guys on a Saturday through email and needed some control arms by the following weekend, Spence got back with me and told me he would make sure the order got shipped out on Monday, they got busy and wasn’t able to ship the package out so he got back with me that evening and upgraded my shipping for free and shipped out the next day, only because he told me he’d make sure I’d have them by the weekend! This company sticks to their word! The customer service from these guys are unmatched and they will have another lifetime customer here!

Very beefy items for a very reasonable price.  Personally have CORE rear track bar and all upper control arms for my 04 Jeep TJ.  Had a slight issue with control arm length and they went above and beyond to swap jam nuts to get me where I needed to be.  Really have to appreciate a company like this.

I met a couple of the Core 4x4 guys at the Salt Lake Offroad Expo and decided to try them out after noticing one of my control arm bushings was disintegrated. I called to discuss parts on Thursday and I was leaving for a trip on Saturday. These guys built my control arms and had them ready to be picked up Friday, 24 hours later. The parts seem to be great quality and they charged me nothing extra to have them painted. These guys were extremely helpful and without them my trip probably would have been cancelled. looking forward to testing out the arms on my next trip to Moab.

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.

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts to arrive in time for a show. When I explained my concern they went above and beyond to make it happen. Quality of the parts is top notch.
