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

Upgrade your Jeep Wrangler JL’s steering performance with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade. Engineered for off-road dominance, this premium tie rod replacement delivers unmatched strength, impact resistance, and precision control. Whether you're navigating technical rock crawls, high-speed desert runs, or daily driving, this upgrade ensures your steering remains tight, stable, and responsive in the toughest conditions.

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Steering Strength – Built with forged tie rod ends featuring massive 1.25” threaded shanks, providing unparalleled strength and long-lasting durability.
  • Premium 7075 Aluminum Construction – The 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum tie rod flexes under impact, preventing bar deformation or knuckle damage, unlike traditional steel components.
  • Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – The aluminum’s memory properties allow the tie rod to return to its original shape after impact, maintaining precise steering alignment.
  • Advanced Anti-Roll Design – Built-in anti-roll capability in the tie rod ends prevents flopping and unnecessary movement, ensuring stable handling.

Precision Engineering Maximum Control

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade is built to withstand extreme off-road conditions while maintaining exceptional steering precision. CNC-machined components include wrench flats for easy adjustments, while friction washers ensure jam nuts stay tight in harsh environments. Designed to bolt directly into factory locations, this tie rod offers seamless installation and a factory-like fit.

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 – Includes a steering stabilizer clamp for use with factory or factory-style stabilizers—a relocation kit may be required for certain setups.


  • Vehicle Fitment: Designed for the Jeep Wrangler JL 18+, this 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade enhances steering durability, control, and impact resistance for extreme off-road conditions.

  • CORE Advantage: Engineered with self-correcting 7075 aluminum, it flexes under impact and returns to shape, eliminating steering failures and enhancing responsiveness.

  • Adjustability: Features CNC-machined wrench flats and jam nuts with friction washers, allowing precise alignment adjustments and maintaining tight steering in rugged 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.

The folks at Core 4X4 are always wonderful to deal with. They explain your options and never pressure or rush things. The quality of the Core Control Arms is top shelf, especially if your goal is to stop wheel hop. I recommend Core 4x4 without reservation ! ! !

These guys are great. You can get them on the phone for support. This important and is not always the case with other custom parts builders. Their control arms are bomb proof and offer plenty of options. You can get real genuine Currie Johnny joints without paying the price for Currie arms.

Great long arm kit with everything else I needed as well! They worked with me to ensure that I was getting an upgraded components kit just like I wanted. Fast shipping with some of the best packaging that I have ever seen. Nothing was scratched or missing and this kit is even more impressive than the videos or website can show. Powder coating looks great with no issues. I would highly recommend CORE 4x4 to anyone looking for a great quality kit.

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!

The whole process was quick and painless. The products are top tier and when I reached out them for package update info, Korby Linscomb was very responsive, and got me the answers I needed the same day. Even when I emailed back to some additional info, he sent what I was looking for that same day. I love core 4x4 and will be giving them my business from now on.

Core 4x4 has outstanding products at a fair price and unmatched customer service. When you call Korby, it's like talking with a friend. Very cool and helpul! I ordered some custom control arms, but from the wrong product line and they were super cool about returning them and upgrading to a better "Crawl" series. Only charged the difference between the two products. They paid all the return shipping and sent the uprgaded arms super quick. It was only a couple days. Awesome!! I couldn't be happier with the transaction👍🏼 Also, these control arms are stout and take a beating. I run heck out my Jeep in the rocks and desert. No problems whatsoever. Thanks Core 4x4, ya'll are welcome at my campfire anytime! Jake T. Pleasant Hill, Or.

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.
