Description:

RockJock's Currectlync Billet Aluminum RockNut Tie Rod for JK Wranglers is an aesthetically beautiful option for your JK! As part of our Modular Extreme Tie Rod product line, we feel this level of tie rod 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 Tie Rod is commonly referred to as our 2 1/2 ton tie rod. 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. 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!
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.
We offer a heavy duty U-bolt style steering stabilizer shock mounting bracket to allow you to easily reinstall your factory stabilizer shock or an upgraded CE-9170SD1 Rancho RS5000 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!
