Upgrade Your Jeep Wrangler JK’s Steering Performance

Upgrade your 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK’s steering with the Core 4×4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade. Designed for extreme off-road durability, this complete drag link assembly enhances steering precision, impact resistance, and long-term reliability. Whether you're tackling rugged trails or navigating daily commutes, this upgrade ensures unmatched control and durability.

Key Features Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Construction – Features forged tie rod ends with massive 1.25” threaded shanks for superior strength and longevity.
  • Solid 7075 Aluminum Build – Constructed from 2.0” solid 7075 aluminum, designed to flex under impact to prevent bending or knuckle damage.
  • Self-Correcting Memory Alloy – The aluminum’s unique memory properties allow it to return to its original shape after impact, maintaining optimal steering performance.
  • Customizable Finish Options – Choose between raw aluminum or 10 distinct powder coat colors to match your Jeep’s build.

Unmatched Steering Control Durability

Engineered for extreme off-road use, the CORE 4X4 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade reinforces your Jeep’s steering system, ensuring precise control over rough terrain. Its solid 7075 aluminum construction absorbs impact forces, preventing bar deformation while protecting critical steering components.

Fitment Wheel Requirements

  • Works with 17” wheels featuring 4.75” backspacing or less.
  • AEV and stock Rubicon wheels require 1.5” wheel spacers.
  • Steering stabilizer installation – We recommend fitting in the stock location—a relocation kit may be required.


  • Vehicle Fitment: Designed for the Jeep Wrangler JK 07-18, this 2.5 Ton Drag Link Upgrade enhances steering strength, control, and impact resistance for extreme off-road applications.

  • CORE Advantage: Features a 7075 aluminum self-correcting design that flexes under impact and returns to shape, preventing steering damage while maintaining precise handling.

  • Adjustability: CNC-machined wrench flats and jam nuts with friction washers allow precise on-vehicle alignment, ensuring tight, responsive steering in any terrain.

  • Construction: Machined from solid 2.0” 7075 aluminum for extreme impact resistance and durability. Features massive 1.25” threaded tie rod ends for superior strength and CNC-machined wrench flats for easy adjustments.

  • Two-Stage Powder Coating: Zinc primer base and top coat available in 10 vibrant colors protect against corrosion and allow for personalized styling of your rig.

  • Warranty and Origin: Proudly manufactured in the United States, our product includes a lifetime warranty on all non-wear items, providing you with confidence and peace of mind in your purchase.

Core 4x4 excels with precision and service and keeps nothing else higher in mind. Everyone I've met at the company is very honest and down to earth, 10/10 would recommend.

2001 Wrangler TJ- i have purchased all front/rear upper/lower control arms. Front track bar and rear track bar. Quality is excellent and extremely durable you can tell its built to last. Bent a bolt on the front track bar and called and spoke with Spence. He immediately sent me out new hardware plus some! Product is amazing but what really separates companies apart is their service and these guys are second to none. Thank you all!

To start off if you're looking to upgrade your control arms definitely hit this company up. Great product, easy install of the product, with three different tiers everything is priced pretty good, I'm a sticker guy and they sent a sticker for each arm each track bar and also three extra ones so the extra are on the Jeep the advertise them for sure. If you're reading this review I highly recommend you to check their website out.

CORE 4X4 Company produces/manufactures exceptional products. My rear upper and lower control arms and rear track bar were powder coated custom Fox “Shock Orange” for my 2024 Bronco Wildtrak. OEM looks minimal compared to the CORE 4X4 control arms. Plus they’re adjustable, serviceable and rebuildable. Shipment was very fast and packaging used custom foam wrapped around the arms and heavy duty boxes. Not even UPS could damage. Korby L. was great to work with and responded quickly with emails and product information. Great products. Great people from the State of Utah. All Made in the USA. 5 Stars!!!

Awesome control arms! My mechanic said “ your Jeep is pretty much bulletproof now.” And I just got the tier 1 arms! The people at the core 4x4 shop were really nice too. They were running behind on shipping, (which is understandable) so I decided to go pick it up because it was only an hour drive. They gave me a free $60 hardware kit for the inconvenience. Thanks core 4x4! You guys are awesome!!

First and foremost would like to say that Core4x4s customer service is top notch and they definitely stand behind their warranty on products! Highly recommend using them for any of your off road needs! It’s rare to find a company now a days that backs their products and they do! Had a few issues with mounts and control arms and they handled it without hesitation! Thank you!

Had a great experience with Core 4x4, I desperately needed a custom track bar and found out just a couple days before Easter Jeep Safari. Spence was a huge help and made it happen with plenty of time to spare. Their parts are top notch!

Had a worn out set of rear upper control arms on my TJ. These were old rubicon express long arms. can’t buy replacements and no one makes a direct fit replacement. Talked with Korby at core off road sent some measurements and photos and a week later new arms showed up. Packaging was perfect fit was perfect. Would highly recommend giving these guys a call.
