Upgrade Your Jeep Wrangler JL’s Steering System

Upgrade your 2018–present Jeep Wrangler JL with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade. Designed for off-road durability and precision steering, this complete drag link assembly ensures maximum strength, impact resistance, and long-term performance. Whether you’re tackling technical trails or daily driving, this upgrade provides the confidence and control needed for any terrain.

What's Included?

  • 2.5 Ton Drag Link Assembly (ST-J-JL-DL1)

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Forged Construction – Built with forged tie rod ends featuring 1.25” threaded shanks for exceptional durability.
  • 2.0” Solid 7075 Aluminum Bar – High-strength aluminum absorbs impact, preventing tie rod bending or knuckle damage.
  • Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – The 7075 aluminum allows the drag link to flex and return to its original shape after impact, ensuring long-term performance.
  • Customizable Finish Options – Choose between raw aluminum or 10 distinct powder coat colors to match your Jeep’s build.

Ultimate Steering Control Durability

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade is built to handle extreme off-road conditions while maintaining precise steering control. Unlike traditional steel components, the solid 7075 aluminum construction absorbs and disperses impact energy, protecting your steering system from damage and ensuring long-lasting performance.

Important Notes

For vehicles with less than a 4.5" lift, the under-the-knuckle setup is recommended. If your vehicle is lifted 4.5" or above, we recommend the over-the-knuckle setup which requires relocating your track bar to keep the angles correct and prevent bump steer.

Fitment Wheel Requirements

  • Compatible with 17” wheels featuring 4.75” backspacing or less.
  • AEV and stock Rubicon wheels require 1.5” wheel spacers.

In Conclusion

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade is the ultimate solution for 2018–present Jeep JL owners looking for maximum steering strength, impact resistance, and off-road reliability. Built to handle the toughest trails, this drag link ensures precise steering and unmatched durability. Upgrade today and experience total steering confidence.

Great company, who worked with me on shipping parts to arrive in time for a show. When I explained my concern they went above and beyond to make it happen. Quality of the parts is top notch.

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.

Best control arms I have installed on any of my builds. After running every major manufacturer, Core 4x4 is on par or better than all the high-end companies at a fraction of the cost. Lifetime warranty is the cherry on top.

Excellent service, Prompt responses when needing technical assistance, Amazing looking parts that fit excellently. I would recommend them to anyone looking for suspension components. Also very well packaged when we received the shipment, which means no damage from shipping company!! We went with the Crawl Series double adjustable kit and it definitely looks killer on our build!!!

In September 2025, we visited CORE 4x4 in Orem, Utah. CORE 4x4 makes control arms and other similar parts that stiffen the suspension of an off-road 4x4 vehicles, so that the off-road vehicles can travel on more rugged terrain. CORE 4x4 used to share this building with another business, and since this other business has moved elsewhere, CORE 4x4 will continue to expand and grow their business. Good for CORE 4x4 to be a growing company and to expand into the vacant part of the building.
