Motobilt Tomahawk Front Half Kit - Bare Steel

There comes a point in a Jeep JK build where the factory front frame becomes the bottleneck. Once builders start pushing toward lower center of gravity setups, longer travel suspension, larger tires, and heavier axle swaps, the stock frame rails and steering box location start fighting every part of the build. Shock towers compete for engine bay space, steering components limit compression, and front stretch options become a series of compromises.

The Motobilt MB3103 Tomahawk Front Half Kit was built to remove those limits and give the front of the JK the structure it actually needs. This system replaces the factory front frame section with a fabricated front half designed for serious suspension packaging, front stretch capability, and improved chassis strength. It supports up to a 3.0-inch body, 16-inch travel coilover and works with JK 4 link suspension systems, giving builders the room needed for long travel suspension without forcing the chassis to work around factory constraints.

A key part of this system is the steering box relocation built into the front half design. The kit moves the steering box forward 2 1/8 inches and raises it 5/8 inch. That solves a common issue on low center of gravity builds running 2005 and newer Super Duty axles, where the axle housing can contact the steering box at full compression. Instead of limiting up travel or raising ride height, the steering box is moved into a position that better supports suspension travel and axle clearance. The system also allows up to a 3-inch front stretch while retaining a steering box setup. RockJock front sway bar compatibility is built into the layout, and provisions are included for relocating ABS and electronics, so the final front end stays clean, serviceable, and functional.
