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 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 couldn't have been more excited for the initial unboxing of these new Core 4x4 UCA's! They appear to be so well built and just a true quality product. Installation was a breeze and the initial testing with the forklift appears to have given me some additional flex with less binding on the rest of the components now that the geometry is back properly aligned. Time will tell how they hold up on my near future off-road adventures but I don't have any doubt that they are up to the task!

The whole process was quick and painless. The products are top tier and when I reached out them for package update info, Korby Linscomb was very responsive, and got me the answers I needed the same day. Even when I emailed back to some additional info, he sent what I was looking for that same day. I love core 4x4 and will be giving them my business from now on.

Installed rear and upper control arms and track bar on my 3rd Gen 4RUNNER to align rear axle and restore factory wheel base after 3.5" lift. Car drives better than New! Improved handling cornering and overall driving. Very solid and high quality made product. Support is outstanding. Shipping extremely fast. Thank you so much. I wish you will have something new for my car.

I purchased a set of the Cruiser Series control arms for my Jeep Jk based on postive reviews from different Jeep Facebook pages. Ordered and 2 days later realized they had the very same exact arms on sale in the overstock section. Called them up and they refunded me the savings from my original purchase. Amazing, honest service. Can't wait to get them installed. Keep up the good work guys.

I just finished installing the Peak 2.0 Front Suspension system with the Core 4x4 Blue Tacoma Rear Suspension system on my 2024 TRD Offroad Premium Tacoma. The two upgraded suspension systems really made a difference in how the ride feels, whether we’re off-road or on the road. A big thank you to Korby and the team at Core 4x4 for their support and for getting the shipping sorted out so quickly!

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!

Have yet to get to try them but I bought some upper, and then later , lower control arms for my 03 rubicon. The pricing is very fair, so fair I was hesitant to even purchase. When the product came in I was happily mistaken. These are some beefy units with an incredible warranty! I’m very excited! I went with the “Camp”series as I mostly daily it. I have trouble with the shipping at times when I ordered but Corby is quick to notice things and help communicate the solution. Looking forward to buying more parts!
