This is a complete replacement steering kit for your 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL or 2019-2024 Gladiator JT. It includes the tie rod (black anodized aluminum) which is also the adjusting sleeve, and left & right forged steel tie rod ends, the drag link (black anodized aluminum) which is also the adjusting sleeve, and left & right forged steel drag link ends. Plus 4 Ninja Lock Washers.
Depending on the options you choose above, it can be sent as an under knuckle mount (standard) or over knuckle mount (flip kit). All Flip Kits include the taper sleeve!!
Note: taper sleeves require the knuckle drag link mount to be drilled through with a straight 7/8" drill bit.
It does not include the steering stabilizer bracket which you will need to choose in the options above based on the steering stabilizer you use.
Dana 44 narrow axle or wide axle ??? Unfortunately, this can be confusing. NARROW axle Dana 44s are unusual, but the tie rod measures 57 1/2" to 58 1/2" ball-stud center to ball-stud center. The standard WIDE axle Dana 44 tie rod measures 60 1/2" to 61 1/2" ball-stud center to ball-stud center. If your Jeep has a narrow axle Dana 44, PLEASE select the Dana 30, which has the correct length tie rod.
It does not include the steering stabilizer bracket which you will need to choose in the options above based on the steering stabilizer you use.
Wheels and Spacers: If you run AEV or stock Rubicon wheels, you'll need a 1.5" spacer. This kits works with a 17" wheel with a 4.75" backspacing or less. We recommend the steering stabilizer be fitted in the stock location, or a relocation kit may be required.
FITMENT:This steering system fits stock Dana 30/44 axles. If your jeep has been upgraded to a Dana 60 axle, we have modifications that can work with that as well, just contact us to order.
