Apex Chassis KIT125 2.5 Ton Tie Rod and Drag Link Assembly - Polished Aluminum 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL JT

Tired of sloppy steering and weak stock components? Upgrade your Jeep’s handling and durability with the KIT125, a complete replacement steering system built to handle the toughest off-road conditions. With massive 2" 7075-T6 polished aluminum rods and forged steel ends, this kit replaces the "wet noodle" feel of stock steering with race-grade strength and precision.

This kit can be configured as an under-knuckle mount (standard) or over-knuckle mount (flip kit). All flip kits include the taper sleeve. Under-knuckle is recommended for lifts of 4.5" or less, while flip kits are suggested for lifts over 4.5" to maintain proper steering geometry and reduce bump steer.

Please note: the steering stabilizer bracket is not included and must be chosen separately based on your stabilizer setup.

Fitment Notes:

• Fits 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2019–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT with stock Dana 30 or Dana 44 axles.
• To determine if you have a Narrow or Wide Dana 44 axle, measure your tie rod from ball stud center to center: ~61" = Wide, ~58" = Narrow (select Dana 30 option for Narrow axle vehicles, typically non-Rubicon/Sport/Mojave/MaxTow models).
• Taper sleeves require drilling the knuckle drag link mount with a straight 7/8" drill bit.
