Take Your Jeep Wrangler JL’s Steering to the Next Level

Upgrade your Jeep Wrangler JL’s steering performance with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade. Engineered for off-road dominance, this premium tie rod replacement delivers unmatched strength, impact resistance, and precision control. Whether you're navigating technical rock crawls, high-speed desert runs, or daily driving, this upgrade ensures your steering remains tight, stable, and responsive in the toughest conditions.

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Steering Strength – Built with forged tie rod ends featuring massive 1.25” threaded shanks, providing unparalleled strength and long-lasting durability.
  • Premium 7075 Aluminum Construction – The 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum tie rod flexes under impact, preventing bar deformation or knuckle damage, unlike traditional steel components.
  • Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – The aluminum’s memory properties allow the tie rod to return to its original shape after impact, maintaining precise steering alignment.
  • Advanced Anti-Roll Design – Built-in anti-roll capability in the tie rod ends prevents flopping and unnecessary movement, ensuring stable handling.

Precision Engineering Maximum Control

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade is built to withstand extreme off-road conditions while maintaining exceptional steering precision. CNC-machined components include wrench flats for easy adjustments, while friction washers ensure jam nuts stay tight in harsh environments. Designed to bolt directly into factory locations, this tie rod offers seamless installation and a factory-like fit.

Fitment Wheel Requirements

  • Compatible with 17” wheels featuring 4.75” backspacing or less.
  • AEV and stock Rubicon wheels require 1.5” wheel spacers.
  • Steering stabilizer installation – Includes a steering stabilizer clamp for use with factory or factory-style stabilizers—a relocation kit may be required for certain setups.


  • Vehicle Fitment: Designed for the Jeep Wrangler JL 18+, this 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade enhances steering durability, control, and impact resistance for extreme off-road conditions.

  • CORE Advantage: Engineered with self-correcting 7075 aluminum, it flexes under impact and returns to shape, eliminating steering failures and enhancing responsiveness.

  • Adjustability: Features CNC-machined wrench flats and jam nuts with friction washers, allowing precise alignment adjustments and maintaining tight steering in rugged terrain.

  • Construction: Machined from solid 2.0” 7075 aluminum for extreme impact resistance and durability. Features massive 1.25” threaded tie rod ends for superior strength and CNC-machined wrench flats for easy adjustments.

  • Two-Stage Powder Coating: Zinc primer base and top coat available in 10 vibrant colors protect against corrosion and allow for personalized styling of your rig.

  • Warranty and Origin: Proudly manufactured in the United States, our product includes a lifetime warranty on all non-wear items, providing you with confidence and peace of mind in your purchase.

I meant to put this reviewing about a year ago now, but ever since I’ve had the core 4 x 4, upper and lower control arms on my 2017 ram 1500, they have worked flawlessly leave been on many offering chips, and I’ll definitely be buying new accessories from them in the future and their new upper control arms that they’re offering for all of the ram trucks. Fantastic customer service fantastic health very automotive, off-road, friendly, and any aftermarket thing for your truck or SUV that they currently have!

I have a 2016 RAM 1500 Crew Cab and I replaced the rear upper and lower control arms also the pan hard track bar and also the sway bar and links for the rear with all I had the articulating bushings. The vehicle now has no body role. They are absolutely incredible if you get the control arms you gotta get the CORE 4 x 4sway bar end links don’t don’t try and be cheap and get Moog or something else you got to get articulating bushings get the core 4 x 4 ones they are the best. My truck drives now through the canyons like a BMW. I have Fox high-performance shocks on there as well with all the CORE 4 x 4 suspension parts and they are amazing. Well worth the money I would highly recommend anybody thinking about CORE 4 x 4 go with CORE 4X4 and if you can go with their articulating bushings, they’re unbelievable drives better now than my Escalades. Well planted no body role and smooth on the Highway unbelievable the difference they all made!! THANKS AGAIN CORE 4x4!!!!

I bought the 16pc Cruise Series Adjustable Control Arm, Track Bar, Steering, End Link Kit to replace a worn budget 4" lift on my used JKU. These are top quality parts; very solid. Customer service is unsurpassed. They even matched prices on my order placed before the tax day sale. I made an error in ordering a drag link flip kit; they were quick to help me fix this too. There's peace of mind knowing these components are made in the USA. Thank you. 👍👍

I have recently come to know Core 4x4 when I purchased a Jeep XJ and was looking for a place that had dedicated XJ suspension and components. Here is what makes them different than most other shops. All of their components are top shelf quality and they back it up if you break any of it. I was able to see their shop when I picked up an order locally and was impressed with their attention to detail and how they assemble and powder coat each part. I had an issue with a shackle and needed the threaded shaft to be shorter. I called in and talked to Kaden and he told me to come by and they would shorten it for me. When I got there, Kaden and Spencer (the owner) met me and talked about options and proceeded to make the right adjustments to fit my XJ. Told me if anything changes in the future and I need additional length, they would take care of me. So what really sets them apart from others is their Customer Service. Try calling in to any other Jeep suspension or part shop and see how they treat you. Been there - done that. Will continue to do business with Core and their team. Getting that kind of service for just a shackle has me thinking I may need to replace my JT components with Core's. Thanks Guys for being helpful good humans!

First off, I wish I knew about them sooner. The customer service is top tier. The response time is about 30 min no waiting 1-3 days to get a response. The parts are heavy-duty and look amazing. The packaging is perfect, I can't wait to hit some trails. Thanks Core4x4

First off: Korby, the gentleman that helped me decide on which kit to go with is EASILY the nicest, and most patient person I’ve dealt with, when ordering parts for this build. Second: the quality of the product is INSANE! These parts are so nicely fabricated, then powder coated for extra longevity, and they even offer an aluminum upgrade in some cases (which I went with, to save weight). Having said all of this, the most impressive thing was the lead time. These parts are build to order, and I literally ordered my suspension one week ago, today! Yes, they built, powder coated, packaged, shipped my suspension components (RAM 1500 Track rear trailing arm full set in 7075 aluminum, and front upper control arms), AND they arrived, all within a week! Granted, that I’m only one state away, but WOW!!! One week?! Amazing! So, in sort: excellent products, which arrived excellently packaged (no damage, an boxes not over-stuffed with heavy suspension parts; three boxes total, as opposed to one super heavy one…my back thanks you), super quickly, and customer service that ANY business would be envious of….so, if you’re in the market, absolutely go with Core 4X4!

Ive had the front adjustable control arm kit in bright green for my 1996 ZJ. Ive had the kit for about a year now and i have to say, im extremely impressed, over 1000 miles off-road and roughly 20,000 miles on the highway. These control arm kits for any vehicle built by core 4x4 are well worth the money, just be aware thereight be some minor scatches or chips from shipping ( but who should care about that if you're beating the crap out of em' they way they were built and designed for)
