RockJock's High Steer Knuckle Kit for all Rubicon (or Mojave) model JL Wrangler, JL Unlimited and JT Gladiator vehicles is a game changer, packed with features that improve off-road capabilities, as well as on-road drivability!
Intended for use the wider width factory axles (found in Rubicons, Mojaves, etc.), this kit replaces the inferior factory aluminum knuckles with our cast iron high steer knuckles (RJ-447100-101) that exceed OEM quality and strength. Our knuckles raise the tie rod 2 3/4 in. and the drag link 2 1/2 in., moving the rods out of the way of rocks and helping to restore factory steering geometry for improved drivability and overall road comfort on a lifted rig. The new knuckles also feature two adjustable steering stop locations for full lock-to-lock adjustability which helps ease the strain on steering components at full lock. Stock ball joints, unit bearings, axles, brakes and dust shields are all retained. Our Currectlync steering included in this kit features our revolutionary high articulation forged chromoly drag link (RJ-442103-101) that incorporates a unique organic shape with many compound curves, that can only be achieved via forging, resulting in maximum up-travel capabilities. Our tie rod (RJ-442101-101) is a 42mm (1 5/8 in.) diameter chromoly tube. All Currectlync steering ends are forged steel and comparable in size to those found on modern 1-ton trucks.
Given the dramatic geometry changes vehicle lifts impose, this kit includes a trac bar geometry relocation bracket with a fully integrated steering stabilizer shock mount (RJ-441110-101). Our trac bar mounting point is raised 2 in., to correct geometry, preventing any bump steer. The steering stabilizer shock mounting point portion of the bracket moves the shock up and behind the new tie rod location, far from it’s vulnerable stock location.
Also provided is our fabricated steel steering stabilizer shock tie rod clamp (RJ-441002-101) that easily installs onto the 42mm (1 5/8 in.) tie rod tube, and allows for full adjustability. We recommend the use of our RJ-9120FJLF forged chromoly organically shaped front trac bar and our RJ-107100-101 fully adjustable front bump stop kit to ensure that all components nest together for maximum up-travel, as engineered.
