Maximum Steering Strength Precision Handling

Take your Jeep Gladiator JT’s steering performance to the next level with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade. Engineered for extreme off-road durability, precise handling, and maximum impact resistance, this tie rod upgrade ensures unwavering control in any terrain. Whether you're rock crawling, navigating deep ruts, or tackling high-speed desert trails, this premium tie rod provides superior strength and reliability under the toughest conditions.

What's Included?

  • 2.5 ton tie rod upgrade (ST-J-JT-TR1)
  • Steering stabilizer clamp

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-duty forged construction – Built with forged tie rod ends featuring massive 1.25” threaded shanks, delivering unparalleled strength and longevity.
  • Premium 7075 aluminum build – Machined from 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum, this tie rod absorbs and disperses impact forces, preventing steering component failure and suspension damage.
  • Self-correcting memory alloy – The aluminum’s memory properties allow the tie rod to flex under impact and return to its original shape, maintaining optimal steering performance.
  • Advanced anti-roll technology – Integrated anti-roll capability in the tie rod ends prevents flopping and instability, ensuring tight, precise steering.

Recommended Pairing

Maximize steering durability and responsiveness by pairing with the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade (ST-J-JT-DL1).

Precision Engineering Maximum Control

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade is designed to outperform and outlast factory steering components. CNC-machined wrench flats allow for easy jam nut adjustments, while friction washers ensure jam nuts stay tight in extreme off-road environments. This tie rod bolts directly into factory locations, providing hassle-free installation and a factory-like fit.

Lifetime Warranty Wearable Parts Guarantee

CORE 4X4 backs this tie rod upgrade with a lifetime warranty—if you permanently bend the tie rod or break a tie rod end, we’ll replace it, no questions asked. Additionally, tie rod ends are covered under our wearable parts guarantee for 18 months, ensuring long-term reliability.

Fitment Wheel Requirements

This tie rod upgrade is compatible with 17” wheels featuring 4.75” backspacing or less. AEV and stock Rubicon wheels require 1.5” wheel spacers for proper clearance. The kit includes a steering stabilizer clamp for use with factory or factory-style stabilizers, though a relocation kit may be required for certain setups.

Final Thoughts

The CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Upgrade is the ultimate steering enhancement for Jeep Gladiator JT owners seeking maximum strength, durability, and precision handling. Built from race-proven 7075 aluminum, this upgrade ensures tight, controlled steering while protecting your suspension and steering components from excessive stress.

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.

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.

First off amazing products. I got a set of adjustable control arms for my XJ and it is so nice to be able to dial in caster and pinion angles. A quick call and I was able to purchase an adjustable track.

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!

I don’t write reviews often, but Core 4x4 absolutely earned this one. I recently ordered leaf spring mounts and realized after the fact that I messed up my order. Totally my mistake. Instead of giving me the runaround or pointing at a return policy, Core 4x4 emailed me back and forth, worked through exactly what I was doing with my build, and made sure I ended up with the correct parts. That kind of customer service is rare these days — especially in the off-road world where a lot of companies stop caring once the order is placed. The parts themselves are exactly what you hope for: solid, well-made, confidence-inspiring hardware that looks like it belongs under a vehicle that actually gets used. You can tell these are designed by people who understand suspension geometry and real-world abuse, not just CAD screenshots. Mistakes happen — especially on custom or modified builds — and Core 4x4 handled mine like pros. Fast responses, clear communication, and a genuine effort to help me get it right. If you’re on the fence: don’t be. Core 4x4 is the kind of company you want backing your build — the kind that treats customers like fellow enthusiasts, not order numbers.

Recieved warrenty exchanges for my control arms last night couldnt be happier!!! Lets talk about the arms tho! Great quality arms in multiple styles and colors!!! I purchased the teir 3 short arns for my 98 xj. I can say that they setoff nicely so my 35 inch tires do not rub! As long as you can get a photo or video of broken hardware core will take care of you. The body of the arm is bulletproof. However make sure to maintain and grease the joints regularly as with any greaseable joint and they shouldkast forever. I had a few problems arise a year after purchase and after some troubleshooting spence was able to help get me the correct parts to get back on the road. I recommend this setup to any and all jeepers looking to get away from the stock arm setup. Alltogether i am Very happy with the performace of my control arms!!!! Mechanic and bodyman of 12 years and my first choice for quality control arms!!

Finally a company with a great product and customer service to match. I changed my order last minute from short arms to long arms. The lift is extremely well built. Korbey was awesome! Highly recommend Core 4x4
