Please note: Steel connecting rods are not designed for rock crawling. If you hit them heavily on a rock, they will likely bend and are therefore NOT WARRANTIED against impact damage. If you intend to rock crawl, please consider our aluminum connecting rod options. Check out our blog post on steel vs aluminum.
This is a complete replacement steering kit for your 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. It includes the tie rod (DOM steel) which is also the adjusting sleeve, and left & right forged steel tie rod ends, the drag link (DOM steel) which is also the adjusting sleeve, and left & right forged steel drag link ends. Plus our NEW ProLock Washers.
Depending on the options you choose above, it can be sent as an under knuckle mount (standard) or over knuckle mount (flip kit). All Flip Kits include the taper sleeve!!
Note: taper sleeves require the knuckle drag link mount to be drilled through with a straight 7/8" drill bit.
It does not include the steering stabilizer bracket which you will need to choose in the options above based on the steering stabilizer you use.
Wheels and Spacers: If you run AEV or stock Rubicon wheels, you'll need a 1.5" spacer. This kits works with a 17" wheel with a 4.75" backspacing or less. We recommend the steering stabilizer be fitted in the stock location, or a relocation kit may be required.
FITMENT: This steering system fits stock Dana 30/44 axles. If you have done any major modifications give us a ring at 480-470-5500 or email us at sales@apexchassis.com to discuss. This will fit most modifications, but we want to make sure before shipping. You may also want to discuss with your local Jeep shop to make sure all your modifications are compatible.
If your jeep has been upgraded to a Dana 60 axle, we have modifications that can work with that as well, just contact us to order.
