Go steel on your 2018–2022 Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU or 2019–2022 Gladiator JT with the Apex Chassis Heavy Duty 2.5 Ton No Flip Drag Link Assembly in Steel. This complete replacement drag link uses a DOM steel tube as the adjusting sleeve and mounts in the standard undermount position for lifts of 4.5 inches or less.
Why Choose the Apex Chassis KIT118 Steel No Flip Drag Link?
- Standard undermount – Fits stock Dana 44 and Dana 30 axles in the standard location (not a flip kit).
- SAE 4140 chromoly ball studs – Hot forged and induction heat treated, with rolled and step threads.
- Boots stay on – Hockey-puck style systems call for removing the end boot; Apex keeps it in place to hold dirt out and grease in.
- Greaseable and pre-greased – Pre-threaded zerk housings, gull-winged grease grooves and zerk fittings included.
- Adjusting rod – 1.75 inch DOM SAE 1020 tube – for those who prefer steel.
- Flopper Stoppers built in – Integrated into the end bearings for an industry-leading 27 degrees of stud swing left and right and only 2 degrees fore and aft, keeping the tie rod and drag link from rotating and flopping.
- Ninja Washers – An Apex exclusive that secures the lock nut to the tube, erasing the need for lightly built adjusting tubes with ugly pinch clamps.
- Forged SAE 1045 housings – Solid steel and CNC machined for dimensionally perfect parts.
Kit Includes
- Drag link (DOM steel), which is also the adjusting sleeve
- Left and right forged steel drag link ends
- 2 Ninja Lock Washers
Fitment Notes
- NO-FLIP kit for lifts of 4.5 inches or less.
