Clayton Offroad Drag Link System Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 1999-2004
$192.95

If you’re looking to beef up the steering on your Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ (1999-2004), you’ve stumbled upon something solid here. This complete drag link steering setup is designed with both strength and simplicity in mind. Let’s break it down.

First off, the drag link is made from a hefty 1 3/8-inch solid 7075-T651 aluminum bar. This stuff is no joke—it’s strong enough to rival many steels out there. We drill and tap it for OE-style end links, so you know it’s built to last. The aluminum construction keeps it lightweight, which is a nice bonus when you’re thinking about performance.

Now, if you’re feeling like going the extra mile, there’s an upgraded tie rod steering stabilizer mount available. This lets you stick with your factory stabilizer or swap it out for something like a Fox or Bilstein if you want an upgrade. It's all about giving you options.

Installation is a breeze, too. This is a completely bolt-in system, so you can ditch your factory drag link and swap it for our heavy-duty version without breaking a sweat. Just unbolt the old one and bolt this bad boy in—it’s that simple.

If you’ve already upgraded your end links, you might want to check out our Upgrade Steering system. It includes everything you need—the aluminum tie rod, drag link, jam nuts, and stabilizer mount—while letting you reuse your existing end links. Talk about convenient!

For those curious about the 7075 aluminum alloy, it’s primarily made with zinc, giving it impressive strength and fatigue resistance. Plus, it’s got decent machinability, so you know it’s going to hold up over time.

Here’s the rundown:

  • Easy Direct Bolt-In Setup
  • Complete Bolt-In Drag Link
  • 7075-T651 Aluminum for durability
  • 1 3/8 inch Solid Round Rod
  • OE WJ 24mm-1.5 Thread for a perfect fit
  • Left Hand/Right Hand Threaded for versatility
  • Made in the USA—support local!

Fitment: This drag link is specifically designed for the Jeep Grand Cherokee from 1999 to 2004 (COR-5206904 Clayton Offroad Drag Link System). If you’re serious about upgrading your steering, this is a solid choice.

The Story of Clayton Offroad

Clayton Offroad has been setting the standard for long-arm suspension kits since 2001. In November of 2002, the brand became the first suspension manufacturer to offer long-arm suspensions for all four of the major Jeep models: the TJ, XJ, WJ, and ZJ. 

Clayton Offroad wasn’t established on a business plan, but rather started out as a hobby with a solid business philosophy that prospered. The company is dedicated to providing its customers with the highest quality and most durable products available on the market with great attention to customer service. At Clayton Offroad, they aren’t just working on manufacturing Jeep parts, they are also competing at local competitions, riding on the trails with local clubs, and out 4-wheeling with their buddies. 

Born from a Personal Realization

The co-owner and founder of Clayton Offroad, Clayton Walters, began operations in a one-car garage. He started out designing and manufacturing rocker panels and bumpers for his own Jeep ZJ. In 2001, after daily driving a ZJ with a 6-inch lift and short-arm suspension for a year, he realized the need for a new suspension system to make his car a pleasure to drive again. In June of that year, Clayton Offroad Manufacturing, LLC was born and debuted its ZJ long-arm suspension at the Grand Slam East event in Gore, Virginia. The suspension proved to be a huge success after being driven over 400 miles to try its luck at the toughest trails at the event. Later that year, Clayton Offroad was producing ZJ long-arm kits in full swing, followed by the release of the XJ kit, WJ kit, and eventually a TJ kit.

In 2007, with the new Jeep JK hitting the market, Clayton Offroad began assessing what type of lift was needed for the model. Taking the design improvements on the JK into consideration, the brand came up with a standard length-based control-arm suspension.

Products Tested to the Limits

Clayton Offroad is more than just a suspension manufacturer; it also produces transfer cases, gears, lockers, driveshafts, and complete custom axle assemblies born from its drivetrain expertise. All of the product designs and developments are rigorously tested in real-world situations to guarantee safety, proper functionality, and durability. Throughout the years, Clayton’s products have been abused and tested in professional rock crawling competitions all across the U.S. The brand takes pride in using only the latest technology, including CNC press brakes, millers, turning centers, and laser cutters to offer quality, close tolerance parts for your Jeep.
