Steer Smarts YETI XD Top Mount Drag Link w/ Griffin Attenuator & Red Bellows (Wrangler JK 2007-2018)

STEER SMARTS™ is proud to present our most EXTREME steering linkage “The YETI XD™" Series linkage equipped with our GRIFFIN XD™ Attenuator. We applied our 85 years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Wrangler. 

The YETI XD Top Mount Draglink for a high steer or drilled-out stock knuckle was designed to be a complete bolt-on for JK's that have already been modified for a flipped draglink.  The YETI XD Top Mount installs in just minutes and bolts to a sleeved factory knuckle or High Steer knuckle hole and the factory pitman arm hole.

Kit Includes:
- One (1) drag link
- Necessary hardware

YETI XD DRAGLINK WITH GRIFFIN XD ASSEMBLY:

• Easy bolt-on installation.
• Griffin XD Attenuator for the highest level of on-road and off-road stability and performance.
• Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.
• MADE IN THE USA

BALL JOINTS:

• 30mm 2 1/2 Ton ball joints designed specifically for the JK.
• Cold headed medium carbon alloy steel ball studs provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage.
• Induction heat treated ball studs provide ultimate fatigue strength and superior off-road durability.
• Stock JK tapered stud that bolts to either a drilled and sleeved factory knuckle or a High Steer Knuckle
• Steel on steel bearings provide exceptional ball joint wear resistance and robustness.
• High quality seals ensure long ball joint life. Our superior seals have been rigorously tested to minimize leakage between grease service intervals which greatly improves our ball joint reliability over our competition.
• Fully greaseable.

DRAGLINK ENDS:

• Powder coat over E-coat for a long lasting appearance under harsh conditions.
• External threads are e-coated for durability and long term serviceability.
• Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat treated for greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.
• Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat treated for even greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.
• Large 1 ¼ inch rolled threads at tie rod adjuster and draglink ends provide significantly increased strength over the original equipment threads.
• Unique “Reverse Pin” technology prevents our linkage from flopping or rocking. This technology is built into the socket unlike the weak external supports on some competitor linkages.

GRIFFIN XD ATTENUATOR: 

• Reduces harsh and negative feedback to your steering wheel.
• Draglink adjuster is manufactured from large diameter ¼ inch thick wall high strength 4130 Chromoly steel tubing for maximum buckling strength.
• Adjuster clamps assure proper clamp force using conventional tools without the possible risk of loosening like large jam nuts.
• Designed with right hand and left hand threads for quick and easy adjustment when installed on the vehicle.
• E-coated for a long lasting appearance under harsh conditions.
• Internal threads and tube are also e-coated for long term serviceability.
• Designed for the proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.
• Patented Design.

Notes:
** A minimum of 17" wheels is recommended. 16" wheels with a maximum of 4.5" backspacing might fit but not guaranteed.
*** Jeeps equipped with Rubicon/Anniversary/Front Factory Skid plates will need to slightly modify the skid plate for clearance with Griffin XD.
**** This part does NOT come with a taper sleeve- this drag link has a tapered stud intended for aftermarket knuckles with a machined taper or a factory knuckle previously drilled with a 7/8" insert
***** A minimum of 3-3.5" (and correct bump stop) is required for a top mount drag link. Maximum height requirements will vary by lift manufacturer. If you are unsure please contact us. 
***** Part #79017001 is necessary when flipping your drag link to maintain proper parallel geometry track bar and drag link. Not included, available here.
