Take Your Jeep Gladiator JT’s Steering Performance to the Next Level
The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit Upgrade is engineered for maximum durability, precision control, and extreme off-road resilience. This premium kit ensures unwavering stability and handling confidence in any terrain. Whether you're tackling technical rock crawls, blasting through desert trails, or conquering rugged off-road terrain, this kit guarantees tight, controlled steering under the harshest conditions.
Key Features and 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 Gladiator’s rugged build.
Recommended Pairing
Maximize steering precision by pairing with the Crawl Series Front Track Bar (CRL-J-JT-FTB1) for increased front-end stability and improved handling.
Ultimate Steering Performance Durability
Designed for off-road dominance, the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit Upgrade reinforces your Gladiator JT’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.
