      Description

      Premium Steering Upgrade. The Apex Chassis 2.5-Ton Tie Rod and Drag Link Assembly with Flip Kit for Dana 30 and 4.50+ Inch Lift; Polished Aluminum is designed to provide robust, reliable steering component upgrades for serious Jeep Gladiator off-roaders. It replaces the original tie rod and drag link with a combination of polished aluminum adjusting sleeves and forged steel ends for enhanced durability and improved steering precision. This assembly is essential for maintaining vehicle control and stability, especially on lifted Jeep Gladiator models.

      Construction and Appearance. This assembly features SAE 1045 solid steel forged housings precision CNC machined to exact tolerances, paired with SAE 4140 chromoly forged and heat-treated ball studs optimized for strength. The tie rod and drag link ends are e-coated black for corrosion resistance, while the adjusting sleeves boast a clear polished aluminum finish offering both aesthetic appeal and high performance. Durable CR rubber accordion boots protect critical components from environmental damage.

      Installation. Installation is moderately challenging and may require drilling a 7/8" diameter hole in the knuckle if installing the flip kit. Professional tools such as jam nut wrenches are recommended, and detailed instructions are provided to ensure proper fit and alignment.

      Warranty. This product includes a lifetime warranty covering manufacturer defects and premature wear under normal usage conditions, supporting long-term reliability and performance.

      Application. This kit fits 2020 through 2026 Jeep Gladiator JT models, excluding Launch Edition, Mojave, and Rubicon variants, engineered specifically for Dana 30 and Dana 44 narrow axle configurations with lift heights of 4.5 inches or more when equipped with the flip kit option.
