Fully Welded Tie Rod For Jeep JK

Fully Welded Tie Rod for Jeep JK (2007–2017)

Heavy-duty, bolt-on tie rod upgrade for JKs running GM 1-ton steering.

This fully welded tie rod kit is built specifically for Jeep JK Dana 30 and 44 axles. Using 1.5" x .25" DOM tubing, offset GM 1-ton tie rod ends, and hex head tube adapters, it’s ready to take serious hits and keep your alignment dialed. With the tie rod ends offset to clear JK axle geometry, this is a clean upgrade for off-road JKs running beefier tires and suspension setups.

It’s designed to fit most 17" steel wheels with a max 3.75" backspacing. Factory alloy wheels and deep-offset aftermarket wheels may interfere — always check clearance before installation. Your stock steering stabilizer bracket won’t work with this setup, so plan accordingly. In some cases, the knuckles will need to be reamed for GM 1-ton taper. This is a serious steering upgrade, and the results are worth the effort.
