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

Engineered for unrivaled strength, precision, and off-road resilience, the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit Upgrade delivers maximum durability and uncompromised control in the toughest terrains. Whether you're navigating technical rock climbs, conquering extreme trails, or daily driving, this kit ensures your Jeep stays responsive and steady under any conditions.

Key Features Benefits

  • Unmatched Steering Strength – Built with forged tie rod and drag link ends featuring massive 1.25” threaded shanks, ensuring long-lasting strength and superior impact resistance.
  • Premium 7075 Aluminum Construction – Machined from 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum, this kit absorbs and disperses impact forces, preventing steering component failures in extreme off-road conditions.
  • Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – The aluminum's memory properties allow the tie rod and drag link to flex under impact and return to their original shape, maintaining precise steering alignment.
  • Customizable Powder Coat Finish – Choose from 10 distinct powder coat colors or opt for raw aluminum to match your Jeep’s rugged build.
  • Recommended Pairing – Enhance steering precision by pairing with the Crawl Series Front Track Bar (CRL-J-JL-FTB1) for maximum stability and improved handling.

Ultimate Steering Performance Durability

Designed for off-road dominance, the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit Upgrade reinforces your Jeep Wrangler JL’s steering system, providing greater response, improved control, and exceptional durability. Unlike traditional steel tie rods and drag links, our 7075 aluminum components absorb shock without bending, protecting your steering knuckles and suspension from unnecessary stress.

Lifetime Warranty Wearable Parts Guarantee

Lifetime Warranty – If you permanently bend the tie rod or drag link or break a tie rod end, we’ll replace it—no questions asked. Wearable Parts Guarantee – Tie rod ends are covered for 18 months, ensuring long-lasting reliability.

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.
  • Steering stabilizer installation – Recommended in the stock location—a relocation kit may be required for certain setups.

Conclusion

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Steering Kit Upgrade is the ultimate solution for 2018–present Jeep Wrangler JL owners seeking unmatched steering durability, precision handling, and off-road reliability. Built from race-proven 7075 aluminum, this kit enhances control, prevents failures, and ensures long-term performance in the harshest environments. Upgrade today and experience the confidence of total steering control.

To start off if you're looking to upgrade your control arms definitely hit this company up. Great product, easy install of the product, with three different tiers everything is priced pretty good, I'm a sticker guy and they sent a sticker for each arm each track bar and also three extra ones so the extra are on the Jeep the advertise them for sure. If you're reading this review I highly recommend you to check their website out.

Exceptional customer service. All my questions were asked in a timely manner and parts were replaced when an error occured. I encourage people to make purchases due to their exceptional quality products, but also because of their customer service. Will make additional purchases in the future.

Very beefy items for a very reasonable price.  Personally have CORE rear track bar and all upper control arms for my 04 Jeep TJ.  Had a slight issue with control arm length and they went above and beyond to swap jam nuts to get me where I needed to be.  Really have to appreciate a company like this.

Ordered a set of Core 4x4 control arms for my 2006 Jeep TJ. These are some heavy duty quality control arms. Can't wait to get them installed. Great customer service too!
