Maximum Steering Strength Precision Handling

Take your Jeep Gladiator JT’s steering performance to the next level with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade. Engineered for extreme off-road durability, precise handling, and maximum impact resistance, this tie rod upgrade ensures unwavering control in any terrain. Whether you're rock crawling, navigating deep ruts, or tackling high-speed desert trails, this premium tie rod provides superior strength and reliability under the toughest conditions.

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-duty forged construction – Built with forged tie rod ends featuring massive 1.25” threaded shanks, delivering unparalleled strength and longevity.
  • Premium 7075 aluminum build – Machined from 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum, this tie rod absorbs and disperses impact forces, preventing steering component failure and suspension damage.
  • Self-correcting memory alloy – The aluminum’s memory properties allow the tie rod to flex under impact and return to its original shape, maintaining optimal steering performance.
  • Advanced anti-roll technology – Integrated anti-roll capability in the tie rod ends prevents flopping and instability, ensuring tight, precise steering.

Recommended Pairing

Maximize steering durability and responsiveness by pairing with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade (ST-J-JT-DL1).

Precision Engineering Maximum Control

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade is designed to outperform and outlast factory steering components. CNC-machined wrench flats allow for easy jam nut adjustments, while friction washers ensure jam nuts stay tight in extreme off-road environments. This tie rod bolts directly into factory locations, providing hassle-free installation and a factory-like fit.

Lifetime Warranty Wearable Parts Guarantee

CORE 4X4 backs this tie rod upgrade with a lifetime warranty—if you permanently bend the tie rod or break a tie rod end, we’ll replace it, no questions asked. Additionally, tie rod ends are covered under our wearable parts guarantee for 18 months, ensuring long-term reliability.

Fitment Wheel Requirements

This tie rod upgrade is compatible with 17” wheels featuring 4.75” backspacing or less. AEV and stock Rubicon wheels require 1.5” wheel spacers for proper clearance. The kit includes a steering stabilizer clamp for use with factory or factory-style stabilizers, though a relocation kit may be required for certain setups.

I just finished installing the Peak 2.0 Front Suspension system with the Core 4x4 Blue Tacoma Rear Suspension system on my 2024 TRD Offroad Premium Tacoma. The two upgraded suspension systems really made a difference in how the ride feels, whether we’re off-road or on the road. A big thank you to Korby and the team at Core 4x4 for their support and for getting the shipping sorted out so quickly!

Have full upper/lower CA set on both front and rear axles on a 96 ZJ. These are the rubber bushing sets not joint sets. I have beat the hell out it in the Nevada desert for 2 years and has been great. I don’t go fast but I do articulate suspension a lot. Super solid and haven’t any issues. Just inspected the entire set recently due to some banging under it. Turns out the banging is lower rear shock bushings. Inspected each CA along the way nothing. Aside from dirt and obviously winter roads and what not still in excellent condition, bushings are solid like the day they were installed. I’ll add that I’m about tapped on a short arm at 4.25(less with settle) so the front CA’s get beat on just from that, still they’re like new. Paint is great condition, this set is red. I would definitely buy again. Another plus for me, Utah isn’t local necessarily, but it’s nice to support businesses closer to me.

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.

Excellent service, Prompt responses when needing technical assistance, Amazing looking parts that fit excellently. I would recommend them to anyone looking for suspension components. Also very well packaged when we received the shipment, which means no damage from shipping company!! We went with the Crawl Series double adjustable kit and it definitely looks killer on our build!!!

I want to take the time to share my experience with Core 4x4. I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler and was looking to upgrade some suspension parts. I went with Core 4x4 upper & lower adjustable control arms and a front adjustable track bar. Everything arrived quickly, and right out of the box I was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. I had a few questions during installation (measurements and torque specs), and I spoke with Korby on a couple of occasions. Not only did he send me detailed instructions, but he also shared an installation video specific to the part and vehicle I was working on, something you don’t get from many companies. The control arms fit perfectly, look great, and perform exactly as I hoped. I did run into an issue with the front track bar touching the front diff. When I reached out, Korby had me send pictures and then immediately offered two solutions: his bar guy could make a different bend and send it out to me, or I could get a full refund. His response honestly blew me away. As much as I wanted to run the Core 4x4 track bar, I chose the refund. Korby sent me a prepaid shipping label right away, no hassle. My experience with Core 4x4 has been excellent. Korby was extremely understanding, communicative, and helpful every step of the way. The parts I received were high quality, and the customer service was second to none. I would absolutely recommend Core 4x4 10 out of 10 times and will be using them again. Just a great American company with awesome people who truly care about their customers. Thank you Korby, and thank you Core 4x4!
