Are you running 37 in. or larger tires on your JK? If you answered yes, we feel the RockJock Currectlync Modular Extreme Steering System is a mandatory upgrade for those who get their rigs out in the rocks! Being proactive, 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 Steering System is commonly referred to as the 2 1/2 Ton system. Features include massive a 1 5/8 in. diameter drag link tube and 1 5/8 in. diameter 4130 chromoly heat-treated tie rod tube, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread forged steel rod ends, removable rod end cartridges that may be used in standard or reversed orientation, premium jam nuts and the heavy duty forged chromoly steering stabilizer shock bracket kit. Components are powder coated semi-gloss black, so they are ready for install right out of the box!
RockJock's heavy-duty U-bolt style steering stabilizer shock mounting bracket kit is included to allow you to easily reinstall your factory stabilizer shock or an upgraded CE-9170SD1 Rancho RS5000 stabilizer shock.
More commonly in applications that require this heavy of a steering system, you’ll be looking to install Ram Assist steering.
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 the 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 /drag link 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 kit is completely bolt-on and requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle!
Kit Includes:
Modular Extreme Tie Rod Assembly (w/ Ends)
Modular Extreme Drag Link Assembly (w/ Ends)
Forged Steering Stabilizer Shock Bracket Kit
All required hardware
Fitment Specs.:
Intended for use with 0–6 in. of lift out of the box
For use on any factory JK Dana 30 and Dana 44 differentials
Can be used on aftermarket Dana 44 differentials that retain the factory outer steering knuckles, or aftermarket knuckles that retain the stock JK taper in the rod end mounting holes
All 4 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 kit.
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.
Component Specs.:
Tie Rod = 1 5/8 in. dia. x 39 in. long, 4130 heat treated chromoly tube
Tie Rod End Forgings = 1 1/4 in.-12 RH/LH threads, forged steel
Drag Link = 1 5/8 in. dia. x 22 in long, DOM steel tube

Notes:
Wrench flats on the tubes require a 1 1/2 in. wrench, jam nuts require a 1 7/8 in. wrench
Rod end cartridges require the 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!
You must grease all rod ends via their zerk fittings before use
Grease unit with non-synthetic, hi-moly lube grease, such as the CE-9013G
The Steering Stabilizer Bracket Kit that is included may be used with the stock stabilizer shock, an upgraded CE-9170SD1 Rancho RS5000 stabilizer shock and likely many other aftermarket shocks
We offer easy to install Ram Assist brackets for this tie rod here: RJ-441001-101 and RJ-401000-101.
