Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Steering Strength – Built with forged tie rod ends featuring 1.25” threaded shanks for maximum durability.
  • Solid 7075 Aluminum Construction – 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum absorbs impact and prevents bar deformation, protecting steering components.
  • Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – Aluminum naturally flexes upon impact and returns to its original shape, maintaining optimal steering performance.

Ultimate Steering Control Durability

Built for extreme off-road performance, the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade delivers superior strength, precision, and reliability. CNC-machined components include wrench flats for easy jam nut tightening, while friction washers ensure a secure fitment, keeping jam nuts tight even under harsh conditions.

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 JK 07-18, 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.

Amazing service. Bought a track bar through Americantrucks.com and they sent it with the wrong size bushing sleeve. Korby at Core 4x4 was quick to get me the correct size and very responsive. Will definitely be using more of their stuff.

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!

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!

Small business, family owned, made in the USA, lifetime warranty. Purchased Tier 3 control arms and rear track bar for a 2006 Jeep LJ. Simple website and easy to contact over phone and email. I had some technical questions and they were happy to answer them. They allow local pickup and were built to order same week. The order was wrapped and ready when I walked in and even gave a tour of the shop. They abrasive blast all raw materials to achieve a better surface profile for powdercoat to adhere and create a smooth, durable finish. I also noticed several CNC machines and a robotic welder they use for all their parts. A small outfit with a robotic welder? Their concern for quality is obvious and it shows in the parts they make. Very impressed. Happy to do business with these guys.

Good company, they offer well built parts and Great customer service. I had a couple of hang ups with my control arms that I purchased, they were very easy to work with and found the solution to make them work.
