Details
The RockJock High Steer Knuckles for all JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator models are a game changer! Simply installing these knuckles raises your tie rod 2 3/4 in. and your drag link 2 1/2 in.!
These knuckles, for use on factory axles or axles that retain factory inner C-knuckles, are intended for use with our other high steer components, to give you a package that provides all the necessary components to accommodate the higher steering location, adjust all geometry points and allow you to easily install a hydraulic assist steering ram, or to reinstall your stabilizer shock!
Our knuckles are manufactured to greater than OEM standards in every way. Features include premium iron castings, gloss black finish and precise machining for a component that installs just like factory. Additionally, we've provided extra threaded steering stop bolt holes ahead of the axle to allow for a second set of stops to be added, giving you firm steering lock stops on both wheels at all times, easing strain on other components.
For best results, it is highly recommended that these knuckles be used in conjunction with one of our knuckle kits that include all of the other components to make this installation easy. Our RJ-440000-101 kit includes our forged, high articulation Drag Link, our 42mm chromoly Tie Rod, as well as the bracket and clamp kits to allow you to install a hydraulic assist steering ram. We also offer our RJ-440001-101kit that includes the same Drag Link and Tie Rod, as well as the bracket and clamp kits to allow you to reinstall your steering stabilizer shock at a much higher, protected height.
Additionally, we recommend the use of our RJ-9120FJLF forged, organically shaped front trac bar, so that all components nest together for maximum up travel as engineered.
