Product Description
Rock Jock High Steer Knuckle Kit | For Ram Assist (Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT 2018+)
The RockJock High Steer Knuckle Kit for all Jeep JL & JT models is a game changer, packed with features that improve the off-road capabilities, as well as the on-road drivability of your vehicle!
Intended for use on factory axles, this kit replaces the inferior factory aluminum knuckles with our cast iron high steer knuckles (RJ-447100-101) that exceed OEM quality and strength. Our knuckles raise the tie rod 2 3/4 in. and the drag link 2 1/2 in., moving the rods out of the way of rocks and helping to restore factory steering geometry for improved drivability and overall road comfort on a lifted Jeep. The new knuckles also feature two adjustable steering stop locations for full lock-to-lock adjustability which helps ease the strain on steering components at full lock. Stock ball joints, unit bearings, axles, brakes and dust shields are all retained.
Our Currectlync steering included in these kits features our revolutionary high articulation forged chromoly drag link (RJ-442103-101) that incorporates a unique organic shape with many compound curves, that can only be achieved via forging, resulting in maximum up-travel capabilities. Our tie rod (RJ-442101-101) is a 42mm (1 5/8 in.) diameter chromoly tube. All Currectlync steering ends are forged steel and comparable in size to those found on modern 1-ton trucks.
Given the dramatic geometry changes vehicle lifts impose, this kit includes a trac bar geometry relocation bracket with a fully integrated ram assist steering mount (RJ-441109-103). Our trac bar mounting point is raised 2 1/2 in., to correct geometry, preventing any bump steer.
The ram assist mount portion of the bracket provides an easy bolt-up anchor point for your hydraulic assist ram, as well as a lower skid plate, incorporated into the bracket, to protect the ram from rocks!
Also provided is our high-end, forged chromoly ram assist tie rod clamp (RJ-441001-101) that easily installs onto the 42mm (1 5/8 in.) tie rod tube, and allows for full adjustability.
We recommend the use of our RJ-9120FJLF forged chromoly organically shaped front trac bar and our RJ-107101-101 fully adjustable front bump stop kit to ensure all components nest together for maximum up-travel, as engineered.
Kit Includes:
- Driver & passenger high steer knuckles
- Currectlync drag link
- Currectlync tie rod
- Track bar relocation and ram mount axle bracket
- Ram assist tie rod clamp
- Necessary hardware
- For use on any factory JL or JT front differential, or any aftermarket replacement axle that features factory specification inner “C in. knuckles and up to 3 1/2 in. diameter axle tubes.
- Retains factory unit bearings, axle shafts, ball joints, steering stop bolts & brakes with dust shields.
- Trac bar relocation / ram assist axle bracket kit provides new sway bar link mounting holes that are raised 2 1/8 in. higher than stock (sway bar link lengths must be adjusted to accommodate this).
- Intended to be used with a minimum of a 17 in. diameter wheel and up to a 6 in. wheel backspacing.
- A minimum of a 2.2 in. bump stop extension is mandatory to keep components from crashing under full articulation range conditions. See our RJ-107101-101 adjustable front bump stop kit for an easy to use solution.
- This package requires a ram assist steering ram stroke of 7.375 in. to achieve full potential (factory steering radius)
Notes:
** Axle bracket easily installs but requires welding. However it mounts solidly enough with the bolts that you can safely drive it to a welder if need be.
*** For optimum performance, we recommend the Rock Jock track bar and adjustable bump stop kit
**** This kit is intended for use in conjunction with common PSC ram assist steering kits
***** Fits all JL/JT models, granted they retain the factory front differential or any aftermarket differential that features factory spec inner "C" knuckles
