Product Description
Rock Jock High Steer Knuckle Kit | for Stabilizer Shock & JK Track Bar (Wrangler JK 2007-2018)
RockJock's High Steer Knuckle Kit for JK Wrangler and Unlimited vehicles 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 (Dana 30 and 44), this kit replaces the factory knuckles with our cast iron high steer knuckles (RJ-437100-101) that exceed OEM quality and strength. Our knuckles raise both the tie rod and the drag link 2 3/4 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 rig. The new knuckles also feature two adjustable steering stop locations (fore and aft of axle centerline) 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 this kit features our revolutionary high articulation forged chromoly drag link (JK-9704DL-T) 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-432103-101) 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 optimizes the vehicle front suspension geometry via our included a trac bar geometry relocation bracket with a fully integrated steering stabilizer shock mount (RJ-431110-103). The trac bar mounting point portion of the bracket is raised 2 in., to correct geometry, preventing any bump steer.
Also provided is our fabricated steel steering stabilizer shock 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-9120FJKF forged chromoly organically shaped front trac bar and our RJ-107101-101 fully adjustable front bump stop kit to ensure that all components nest together for maximum up-travel, as engineered.
Kit Includes:
- One (1) pair of knuckles
- One (1) drag link
- One (1) tie rod
- One (1) track bar relocation and stabilizer shock mount axle bracket
- Stabilizer shock tie rod clamp
- Necessary hardware
- Installation instructions
- For use on any factory JK front differential (Dana 30 or 44), or any aftermarket JK replacement axle that features factory specification inner C-knuckles and up to 3 1/2 in. diameter axle tubes.
- Retains factory unit bearings, axle shafts, ball joints, steering stop bolts and brakes with dust shields.
- Intended to be used with a minimum of a 17 in. diameter wheel and up to a 6 in. wheel backspacing.
- A minimum bump stop extension is mandatory to keep components from crashing under full articulation range conditions. See our bump stop options here.
- This allows for the reuse of the use of factory JK stabilizer stabilizer shock.
- If you are intending to use a Bilstein 5100 series stabilizer shock with this system and our High Steer Knuckle Kit, see Bilstein part number 33-292984 for the bolt-on shock.
- If you are intending to use a Fox stabilizer shock with this system, see Fox part number 985-24-145 is the shock for this application, but it is not a simple bolt on affair in all instances. Some grinding and fitment may need to be done for optimum clearance and performance.
- Twin tube and thru-rod dampers will intersect with other components and are not for use with this system.
- With regards to differential cover clearance, this system clears fine with an OEM cover. Aftermarket diff covers may need to be clearanced to allow the stabilizer shock tie rod bracket to clear. However, be aware, some diff covers may not work at all.
Notes:
** For optimum performance of this kit, and to take advantage of all of the up travel this kit is capable of, we recommend the use of the RJ-9120FJKF track bar and RJ-107101-101 adjustable bump stop kit
*** This kit is intended for use in conjunction with factory or factory replacement single monotube stabilizer shocks
