Prefer steel? The Apex Chassis Heavy Duty JK 2.5 Ton Tie Rod Assembly in Steel gives your 07–18 Jeep Wrangler JK a complete replacement tie rod built around a 1.75 inch DOM steel tube that doubles as the adjusting sleeve, with forged steel ends on both sides.
Why Choose the Apex Chassis KIT131 2.5 Ton Steel Tie Rod?
- Adjusting rod – 1.75 inch DOM SAE 1020 tube – for those who prefer steel.
- Forged SAE 1045 housings – Solid steel, CNC machined for dimensionally perfect parts.
- Flopper Stoppers built in – Integrated into the tie rod end bearings for an industry-leading 27 degrees of stud swing left and right and only 2 degrees fore and aft, so the tie rod and drag link don’t rotate and flop.
- Ninja Washers – An Apex exclusive that secures the lock nut to the tube, eliminating lightly built adjusting tubes with ugly pinch clamps.
- Greaseable and pre-greased – Pre-threaded zerk housings, gull-winged grease grooves and zerk fittings included.
- SAE 4140 chromoly ball studs – Hot forged and induction heat treated, with rolled and step threads for strength and easy hardware movement.
- Boots stay on – Unlike hockey-puck style systems that require removing the tie rod end boot, Apex keeps the boot in place to keep dirt out and grease in.
Kit Includes
- Tie rod (DOM steel), which is also the adjusting sleeve
- Left and right forged steel tie rod ends
- 2 Ninja Lock Washers
Fitment Notes
- Fits both stock Dana 44 and Dana 30 axles.
- Steering stabilizer bracket is not included; choose one based on the steering stabilizer you use.
