RockJock's High Steer Knuckle Kit for all NON-Rubicon (or Mojave) 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 on the standard (non-Rubicon) width factory axles, 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-442101-103) 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. 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-107101-101 fully adjustable front bump stop kit to ensure that all components nest together for maximum up-travel, as engineered.
Kit Fits:
*Fits all listed vehicles below, granted they retain the factory, standard width (non-Rubicon/Mojave) front differential.
JL Wrangler Unlimited (4-door) - non-Rubicon Models
JL Wrangler (2-door) - non-Rubicon Models
JT Gladiator - non-Rubicon/Mojave Models
Kit Includes:
Left side high steer steering knuckle
Right side high steer steering knuckle
Currectlync drag link
Currectlync tie rod
Trac bar relocation and stabilizer shock mount axle bracket
Stabilizer shock tie rod clamp
All required hardware and step-by-step instructions
Fitment Specs.:
For use on any non-Rubicon/Mojave width factory JL or JT front differential.
Retains factory unit bearings, axle shafts, ball joints, steering stop bolts and brakes with dust shields.
Intended to be used with a minimum of a 17 in. diameter wheel and up to a 6 in. wheel backspacing.
A minimum bump stop extension is mandatory to keep components from crashing under full articulation range conditions. Necessary extension amounts, per drivetrain, are as follows: Gas vehicles = 2.2 in., Diesel vehicles = 1 in., 392 vehicles = 0.20 in.
This package is designed around mono-tube stabilizer shocks only. We prefer to either retain the factory shock, or use Bilstein’s B8 5100 series stock replacement shock (very specifically part number: 33-292984). Twin tube and thru-rod dampers will intersect with other components and are not for use with this system.
With regards to differential cover clearance, this system clears fine with an OEM cover. Aftermarket diff covers may need to be clearanced to allow the stabilizer shock tie rod bracket to clear. However, be aware, some diff covers may not work at all.
Notes:
For optimum performance of this kit, we recommend the use of our CE-9120FJL trac bar and our RJ-107101-101 adjustable bump stop kit.
This kit is intended for use in conjunction with factory or factory replacement single mono-tube stabilizer shocks.
One hole must be drilled in the bottom of the factory trac bar axle bracket trac bar relocation / stabilizer shock bracket installation. A drill jig is included in the kit.
