Upgrade Your Jeep Wrangler JK’s Steering System

Upgrade your 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK steering system with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade. Designed for unmatched strength and off-road durability, this tie rod enhances steering precision, impact resistance, and longevity. Whether you're navigating extreme terrain or daily driving, this upgrade ensures superior control and reliability.

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.
  • Advanced Anti-Roll Technology – Integrated anti-roll design in the tie rod ends prevents unwanted movement and instability.

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.

  • 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.

Great company. Highly satisfied with Core 4x4 customer service. Had some bushings fall apart around 600 miles from home. Called and spoke with Korby Linscomb on Thursday, late in the afternoon. He was able to get my bushings sent across country overnight at a very reasonable rate. Had me up and running by Friday evening with enough time to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. Thanks Guys!

Ran into an issue with a part that I ordered. Got ahold of them explained to them the issue I was having and they jumped in and got the issue fixed. Hands down the best customer service I have ever dealt with. The parts are hands down amazing. Highly recommend.

Outstanding experience! I asked Core to build me a set of custom control arms that were larger/heavier than they normally build. They gladly accepted the challenge and turned out an expertly crafted and super strong product ahead of schedule. Fit and finish are excellent. Spence and Cameron were a pleasure to work with every step of the way. And all of this for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend these guys!

Their website estimated 2 days to get my parts but actually took 11. No communication to let me know what’s going on. Parts were missing. Some days they answer questions, some they don’t. Didn’t let me know I’d have to alter stock bolts to fit their parts. All around just seems like they don’t care.

I have nothing but good things to say about Core 4x4. I have the crawler series on my JKU and we take it all over the place. These parts handle everything we throw at them.

Awesome product and service! I even got some of their swag because it looked pretty darn good. I will definitely be going back and would suggest this business to others looking for quality control arms. Buy local!
