      Description

      Premium Steering Upgrade. The Apex Chassis 2.5-Ton Tie Rod and Drag Link Assembly with Flip Kit for Dana 44; Polished Aluminum is a comprehensive replacement steering kit designed for heavy-duty use in Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon and Gladiator JT models. It improves steering strength and durability by replacing factory components with forged steel ends and polished aluminum adjusting sleeves. This assembly is critical for maintaining precise steering control and handling in off-road and lifted vehicles.

      Construction and Appearance. Built from SAE 1045 solid steel forged housings with CNC machining, this kit combines forged steel tie rod and drag link ends with polished aluminum sleeves for both strength and a clean finish. The ball studs are SAE 4140 chromoly, heat-treated for toughness, and sealed with CR rubber accordion boots for longevity. High-quality Grade 8 hardware and a clear polished finish on adjusting sleeves complete the durable, professional appearance.

      Installation. Installation requires moderate mechanical skills and may involve drilling a 7/8" hole in the knuckle for the flip kit configuration. Comprehensive instructions are included for both standard (no flip) and flip kit setups to accommodate various lift heights.

      Warranty. The product carries a lifetime warranty covering manufacturer defects, premature wear, or breakage for the life of the vehicle when purchased through authorized channels and registered within 90 days.

      Application. Designed specifically for the front suspension of 2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon models. This kit supports lifted vehicles and requires selecting options based on differential configuration and lift height for proper fitment.
