Product Description
Rock Jock Currectlync Modular Extreme Duty Drag Link (Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT 2018+)
Extreme usage of your JL Wrangler, JL Unlimited or JT Gladiator vehicle, with tires over 37 in. tall, requires massive upgrades to your steering to keep you and your family safe! Being pro-active, so you don't get stranded in the wilderness is the smart thing to do! The RockJock Currectlync Modular Extreme Duty Drag Link is must-have for this application!
RockJock's completely bolt-on Modular Extreme Drag Link is commonly referred to as our 2 1/2 ton drag link. Features include a massive 1 5/8 in. diameter tube, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread forged steel rod ends, 1 ton taper removable rod end cartridges (that may be used in standard or reversed orientation) and premium jam nuts. The right hand and left hand threads and jam nuts allow for drag link spec. adjustments after installation without having to remove either end of the drag link from the vehicle.
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 drag link 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 component is designed for use on stock height or lifted vehicles (up to 6 in. lift), requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle. Components are powder coated semi-gloss black so they are ready for install right out of the box!
Kit Includes:
- One (1) modular extreme drag link assembly
- Intended for use with 0–6 in. of lift out of the box
- Requires 2 in. extended bump stops over stock
- For use on any factory option JL or JT differential
- Rod end tapers are designed to fit the vehicle's factory, original tapers for ease of installation. If your tapers have been enlarged or drilled out – this will no longer be a bolt-on component
- Compatible with aftermarket differentials and/or aftermarket outer knuckles that retain the factory drag link mounting location and taper on the outer steering knuckle
- It seems most aftermarket differentials use JK taper for their drag link mounting location. If you find this to be the case on your aftermarket differential, you can simply purchase a JK taper rod end cartridge and install it on the differential end of this drag link
- If your tapers have been drilled out, or if you would like to attempt to use these components on an other than stock differential, you may review our additional cartridge offerings.
- Drag Link Tube = 1 5/8 in. dia. DOM steel tube
- Drag Link End Forgings = 1 1/4 in.-12 RH/LH threads, forged steel
- Rod End Cartridges = JL/JT pitman arm taper on one end & JL/JT factory drag link taper on the differential end, 1 3/4 in.-12 threads on the O.D. and 9/16 in.-18 threads on the pin
- Wrench flats on the tubes require 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
- Intended for use with 0–6 in. of lift out of the box
- Do not use this unit outboard of the lift amount requirements outlined above! Deviating from these parameters will cause damage and premature wear to the components!
