RockJock's Currectlync Billet Aluminum RockNut Drag Link for JL Wrangler, JL Unlimited or JT Gladiator vehicles is an aesthetically beautiful option for your rig! We feel this level of drag link, part of our Modular Extreme Steering product line, is a mandatory upgrade for those who are running 37 in. or larger tires and are getting their rigs out in the rocks! 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 completely bolt-on Modular Extreme Drag Link is commonly referred to as our 2 1/2 ton drag link. Features include a massive 1 5/8 in. diameter billet 7075-T6 aluminum bar with our tapered RockNut ends machined into the bar and RJ logos engraved at both ends, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread RockNuts, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread forged steel rod ends and removable rod end cartridges that may be used in standard or reversed orientation.
The RockNuts featured on this tie rod feature collet design as opposed to traditional jamming with a nut. The steel nut with a female taper tightens against an intersecting male taper machined onto the control arm. When tight, the components are bound together and are bound onto the threads of the rod ends with incredible force that is not attainable via a traditional jam nut.
The removable cartridges in the rod ends offer many advantages.

• They are able to be replaced independently of the forged rod end, saving cost
• A spare can easily be carried in the vehicle for trail repairs (carry our JK-9703W wrench with you as well!)
• If a cartridge end is removed and replaced, the vehicle does not have to be realigned, because the tie rod length adjustment was not compromised
• If a high-steer configuration is desired, cartridges may be easily removed from the rod end forgings and reinserted from the top and simply tightened back down

This easy to install unit is completely bolt-on and requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle. Finish is clear anodizing on the bar, black zinc coating on the RockNuts and the ends are painted black so the unit is ready for install right out of the box!

• Can be used on aftermarket JL/JT differentials that retain the factory outer steering knuckles, or aftermarket knuckles that retain the stock JL/JT taper in the rod end mounting hole
• Rod end tapers are designed to fit the vehicle's stock, original taper for ease of installation. If your tapers have been enlarged or drilled out – this will no longer be a bolt-on component.
• If your tapers have been drilled out, or if you would like to attempt to use these components on an other than stock differential, you may review our additional cartridge offerings here.

Adjustment Range:

• Closed – 39.60 in. C-C

Notes:

• Wrench flats on the bar require a 1 1/2 in. wrench, RockNuts require a 1 3/4 in. wrench
• Rod end cartridges require our JK-9703W wrench or a 2 in. wrench or impact socket
• If you decide to flip the Rod End Cartridges to mount the components in a high-steer configuration, keep in mind that all of the corresponding tapered holes must be retapered from the other direction as well
• Intended for use with 0–6 in. of lift out of the box
• 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!
