Rock Jock Currectlync Modular Extreme Duty Universal 1-Ton Tie Rod

Rock Jock Currectlync Modular Extreme Duty Universal 1-Ton Tie Rod

Have you installed a 1 ton front differential and are looking for a Tie Rod? In most instances that we are aware of – this is your answer! If you have custom built a 1 ton front differential, if you have purchased a 1 ton differential and are unhappy with the tie rod supplied with it or if you have installed knuckles on your stock differential that have a 1 ton taper this tie rod may be the solution you are looking for!

RockJock's completely bolt-on Modular Extreme Tie Rod is commonly referred to as our 2 1/2 Ton tie rod. It is adjustable to fit a center of tapered hole to center of tapered hole dimensions from 57 1/2 in. to 60 1/2 in. Features include a massive 1 5/8 in. diameter 4130 chromoly heat treated tube, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread forged steel rod ends, 1 ton taper removable rod end cartridges (that may be used in standard or reversed orientation) and premium jam nuts. The right hand and left hand threads and jam nuts allow for drag link spec. adjustments after installation without having to remove either end of the drag link from the vehicle.

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 our 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 length adjustment was not compromised
• Cartridges may be easily removed from the rod end forgings and inserted from the top or the bottom, depending upon your mounting preference, and simply tightened back down

Most commonly in applications that require this heavy of a steering system, you’ll be looking to install Ram Assist steering. We offer easy to install ram mounting brackets for this tie rod here. Should you be intending to stay with a steering stabilizer shock, we also offer our JK-9703SB heavy duty U-bolt style steering stabilizer shock mounting bracket to allow you to easily reinstall a factory stabilizer shock or an upgraded shock such as our CE-9170SD1 Rancho RS5000 stabilizer shock. Note: this shock will not be a bolt-on solution, at the differential end, in all applications.
This easy to install kit is completely bolt-on and requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle! Components are powder coated semi-gloss black so they are ready for install right out of the box!

***** If you intend to flip the Rod End Cartridges from top to bottom, etc., keep in mind that your knuckle holes are only tapered from one direction. Mounting the tie rod on the opposite side of the knuckle than the knuckle intends will require the tapered holes to be retapered from the other direction.
****** Being that this a universal product, you will need to cycle your suspension before use to ensure that the rod ends to not bottom out upon extreme articulation.
