RockJock's completely bolt-on Modular Extreme Tie Rod is commonly referred to as our 2 1/2-ton tie rod. It is adjustable to fit the center of the tapered hole to the center of tapered hole dimensions from 57 1/2 in. to 60 1/2 in. Features include a massive 1 5/8 in. diameter 4130 chromoly heat-treated tube, 1 1/4 in. RH/LH thread forged steel rod ends, 1-ton taper removable rod end cartridges (that may be used in standard or reversed orientation), and premium jam nuts. The right-hand and left-hand threads and jam nuts allow for drag link spec. adjustments after installation without having to remove either end of the drag link from the vehicle.
The removable cartridges in the rod end offer many advantages.
- They can be replaced independently of the forged rod end, saving cost
- A spare can easily be carried in the vehicle for trail repairs (carry our JK-9703W wrench with you as well!)
- If a cartridge end is removed and replaced, the vehicle does not have to be realigned, because the tie rod length adjustment was not compromised
- Cartridges may be easily removed from the rod end forgings and inserted from the top or the bottom, depending upon your mounting preference, and simply tightened back down
This easy-to-install kit is completely bolt-on and requires no modifications or machining to any part of the vehicle! Components are powder coated semi-gloss black so they are ready for installation right out of the box!
Kit Fits:
- Universal Application – 1-ton front differentials w/1-ton taper at the knuckles
- (1) Modular Extreme Tie Rod Assembly
- Closed – 57.500 in.
- Open – 60.500 in.
- Tie Rod Tube = 1 5/8 in. dia. 4130 heat treated chromoly
- Tie Rod End Forgings = 1 1/4 in.-12 RH/LH threads, forged steel
- Rod End Cartridges = 1 ton taper on the pin, 1 3/4 in.-12 threads on the O.D. and 9/16 in.-18 threads on the pin
- Wrench flats on the tubes require a 1 1/2 in. wrench, and jam nuts require a 1 7/8 in. wrench
- Rod end cartridges require our JK-9703W wrench or a 2 in. wrench or impact socket
- The universal nature of this tie rod allows it to be used in various applications, granted the dimensions suite. You may simply replace the cartridges with a cartridge of a different taper to suit other applications.
- If you intend to flip the Rod End Cartridges from top to bottom, etc., keep in mind that your knuckle holes are only tapered from one direction. Mounting the tie rod on the opposite side of the knuckle than the knuckle intended will require the tapered holes to be tapered from the other direction.
- Being that this a universal product, you will need to cycle your suspension before use to ensure that the rod ends do not bottom out upon extreme articulation. You do not want your steering rod ends to be your travel stops! Not being mindful of these limitations will cause damage and premature wear to the components that are NOT covered under warranty!
- We offer easy-to-install ram mounting brackets for this tie rod.
- Our JK-9703SB Steering Stabilizer Shock Bracket Kit will bolt to this tie rod and may be used with many stock stabilizer shocks, an upgraded CE-9170SD1 Rancho RS5000 stabilizer shock and likely many other aftermarket shocks

Warranty:
John Currie Performance Group, Inc. DBA Rock Jock (“RockJock”) warranties, to the original purchaser with physical proof of purchase, all items manufactured by RockJock to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the limited period of two (2) years from the stated delivery date on invoice. Any alteration or improper use as determined by RockJock in its sole discretion will void this warranty. Further, we disclaim any liability for action resulting from failure or parts durability. We disclaim any express or implied warranties, including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, condition of any kind and fitness for a particular purpose. Our products may be subject to an infinite variety of conditions due to the manner in which they are used, serviced and/or installed. Purchasers and users of such products rely upon their own judgment as to the suitable use, selection, service, and installation of such products. This warranty does not cover damage caused by or facilitated by failure of non-RockJock components. This warranty does not extend to, and RockJock shall not be liable for, any agreements or representations made by dealers or resellers of RockJock products beyond what is stated here.
This warranty is not assignable and non-transferable. Because all parts which we sell are intended for use in heavy duty applications, it is not possible to warranty or guarantee the performance of any items under all circumstances. Each warranty represents the sole and exclusive remedy for any product defect or failure and our total liability for any part we warrant. RockJock’s liability under this warranty shall be limited to the cost for repair, replacement or an upgrade of the product (at RockJock’s sole and absolute discretion). Upgrade cost would be at the user’s expense. Consequential costs such as, but not limited to labor fees, loss of use, loss of revenue, loss of time, towing fees or freight charges are not covered. Any product that, in the opinion of RockJock, has been abused, altered, incorrectly installed or used in competition is not covered. Nothing in this warranty is intended to be a representation by RockJock that offroad component failures cannot occur.
Warranty Procedure:
Contact your RockJock dealer or RockJock directly about the problem prior to removing any part from the vehicle. If it appears that the part is warrantable through means of verbal and/or written communication and photos, you will be given a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) Number and asked to return the part to RockJock, freight prepaid. If the part is found to be warrantable, it will be repaired or replaced and returned to you. All freight charges are the customer’s responsibility. If a replacement part is needed before the part in question can be returned, you must first purchase the replacement part. Then, if the part in question is deemed warrantable, you will be credited / refunded.
