JK-9704 - JK Currectlync Steering System
Details
Have you seen the size of your JK’s stock steering? Being pro-active, so you don't get stranded in the wilderness with bent or broken factory steering components, is the smart thing to do for your family's safety. RockJock's Currectlync Steering System for your JK Wrangler or Unlimited is must-have for those who get their vehicles out in the dirt!
RockJock's completely bolt-on Currectlync Steering System features an alloy steel 42mm (1.65 in.) diameter tie rod, a solid forged steel, organically shaped, high articulation drag link, larger forged, greasable rod ends, premium jam nuts and adjusters and it's painted black, so it's ready for install right out of the box!
The new drag link’s organic shape ensures maximum up travel where your steering components are concerned. With this piece installed, you should also consider our RJ-9120FJKF organically shaped forged Trac Bar and our RJ-107101-101 adjustable front bump stop kit so that you can fine tune your vehicle to truly achieve maximum up travel out of your build.
Our heavy duty U-bolt style steering stabilizer shock mounting bracket kit is included to allow you to easily reinstall your factory stabilizer shock or an upgraded CE-9170SD1 Rancho RS5000 stabilizer shock.
Both the tie rod and drag link feature double adjusters so that they do not require removal from the vehicle for adjustment once installed. This unit is designed for use on stock height or lifted vehicles, but for those with big tires, these components are also compatible with ram assist steering (see ram assist mounting bracket options here.
This easy to install kit requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle!

Fitment Specs.:
- Designed for stock height or up to 6 in. lifted vehicles
- Compatible with any OEM JK wheel
- Works with any size tire
- For use on any factory JK Dana 30 and Dana 44 differentials
- Can be used on aftermarket Dana 44 differentials that retain the factory outer steering knuckles, or aftermarket knuckles that retain the stock JK taper in the rod end mounting holes
- All 4 rod end tapers are designed to fit the vehicles stock, original taper for ease of installation. If your tapers have been enlarged or drilled out – this will no longer be a bolt-on kit
Notes:
- Do not use this unit outboard of the lift amount requirements outlined above! Deviating from these parameters will cause damage and premature wear to the components!
- In vehicles with no lift, or smaller lifts, the tips of the drag link ends may require slight trimming to prevent them from touching each other inside the adjuster sleeve
- In stock knuckle applications, no increase in bump stop is required for the sake of the Drag Link.
- In High Steer Knuckle applications, to squeeze the absolute most up travel out of your vehicle, we recommend the use of our RJ-9120FJKF organically shaped forged Trac Bar and our RJ-107101-101 Adjustable Bump Stop Kit.
- The Steering Stabilizer Bracket Kit that is included allows the stock stabilizer shock to be reused.
- If you are intending to use a Bilstein 5100 series stabilizer shock with this system, see Bilstein part number 24-158428 for the bolt-on shock.
- If you are intending to use a Bilstein 5100 series stabilizer shock with this system and our High Steer Knuckle Kit, see Bilstein part number 33-292984 for the bolt-on shock.
- If you are intending to use a Fox stabilizer shock with this system, see Fox part number 985-24-145 is the shock for this application, but it is not a simple bolt on affair in all instances. Some grinding and fitment may need to be done for optimum clearance and performance.
- If you are intending to use a Fox ATS stabilizer shock with this system, see Fox part number 803-02-039 for the proper mounting solution. You may also find Fox's part number 803-02-028 shock mounting stud helpful during this installation as well.
- If you are intending to use a Rancho RS5000 stabilizer shock with this system, see our part number CE-9170SD1 for the bolt-on shock.
- If you’ll be using this Tie Rod with ram assist, check out our easy to install ram mounting brackets for this tie rod here.
- You must grease all rod ends via their zerk fittings before use. Grease unit with non-synthetic, hi-moly lube grease, such as our CE-9013G.
