JL-9703TR - JL/JT Currectlync Modular Extreme Duty Tie Rod

Are you running 37 in. or larger tires on your JL or JT? If you answered yes, we feel the RockJock Currectlync Modular Extreme Tie Rod is a mandatory upgrade for those who get their rigs out in the rocks! Being pro-active, so you don't get stranded in the wilderness with bent or broken factory steering components is the smart thing to do for your family's safety.
RockJock's completely bolt-on Modular Extreme Tie Rod is commonly referred to as our 2 1/2 Ton tie rod. Features include a massive 1 5/8 in. diameter 4130 chromoly heat treated tube, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread forged steel rod ends, removable rod end cartridges that may be used in standard or reversed orientation and premium jam nuts. Components are powder coated semi-gloss black so they are ready for install right out of the box!
We offer our JK-9703SB heavy duty U-bolt style steering stabilizer shock mounting bracket to allow you to easily reinstall your factory stabilizer shock, or your choice of an upgraded stabilizer shock.
More commonly in applications that require this heavy of a steering system, you’ll be looking to install Ram Assist steering. We offer easy to install ram mounting brackets for this tie rod here.
The removable cartridges in the rod ends offer many advantages.

• They are able to be replaced independently of the forged rod end, saving cost
• A spare can easily be carried in the vehicle for trail repairs (carry our JK-9703W wrench with you as well!)
• If a cartridge end is removed and replaced, the vehicle does not have to be realigned, because the tie rod length adjustment was not compromised
• If a high-steer configuration is desired, cartridges may be easily removed from the rod end forgings and reinserted from the top and simply tightened back down

This easy to install kit is completely bolt-on and requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle!

• Rod end tapers are designed to fit the vehicle's stock, original taper for ease of installation. If your tapers have been enlarged or drilled out – this will no longer be a bolt-on component.

Notes:

• Wrench flats on the tube requires a 1 1/2 in. wrench, jam nuts require a 1 7/8 in. wrench
• Rod end cartridges require our JK-9703W wrench or a 2 in. wrench or impact socket
• If you decide to flip the Rod End Cartridges to mount the components in a high-steer configuration, keep in mind that all of the corresponding tapered holes must be retapered from the other direction as well
