Description:

RockJock's Currectlync Billet Aluminum RockNut Drag Link for JK Wranglers is an aesthetically beautiful option for your JK! We feel this level of drag link, part of our Modular Extreme Steering product line, is a mandatory upgrade for those who are running 37 in. or larger tires and are getting 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 Drag Link is commonly referred to as our 2 1/2 ton drag link. Features include a massive 1 5/8 in. diameter billet 7075-T6 aluminum bar with our tapered RockNut ends machined into the bar and RJ logos engraved at both ends, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread RockNuts, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread forged steel rod ends and removable rod end cartridges that may be used in standard or reversed orientation.
The RockNuts featured on this tie rod feature collet design as opposed to traditional jamming with a nut. The steel nut with a female taper tightens against an intersecting male taper machined onto the control arm. When tight, the components are bound together and are bound onto the threads of the rod ends with incredible force that is not attainable via a traditional jam nut.
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 unit is completely bolt-on and requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle. Finish is clear anodizing on the bar, black zinc coating on the RockNuts and the ends are painted black so the unit is ready for install right out of the box!
