Extreme usage of your JL Wrangler, JL Unlimited, or JT Gladiator vehicle, with tires over 37 in. tall, requires massive upgrades to your steering to keep you and your family safe! Being proactive, so you don't get stranded in the wilderness is the smart thing to do! The RockJock Currectlync Modular Extreme Duty Drag Link is a must-have for this application!

RockJock's completely bolt-on Modular Extreme Drag Link is commonly referred to as our 2 1/2-ton drag link. 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 drag link length adjustment was not compromised
  • If a high-steer configuration is desired, cartridges may be easily removed from the rod end forgings and reinserted from the top, and simply tightened back down
This easy-to-install component is designed for use on stock-height or lifted vehicles (up to 6 in. lift) 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:
  • JL Wrangler Unlimited (4-door) - All Models (w/ any stock differential option)
  • JL Wrangler (2-door) - All Models (w/ any stock differential option)
  • JT Gladiator - All Models (w/ any stock differential option)
  • Many installations of aftermarket differentials (see fitment note below)
Kit Includes:
  • (1)  Modular Extreme Drag Link Assembly
Fitment Specs.:
  • Intended for use with 0–6 in. of lift out of the box
  • Requires 2 in. extended bump stops over stock
  • For use on any factory option JL or JT differential
  • Rod end tapers are designed to fit the vehicle's factory, original tapers for ease of installation. If your tapers have been enlarged or drilled out – this will no longer be a bolt-on component
  • Compatible with aftermarket differentials and/or aftermarket outer knuckles that retain the factory drag link mounting location and taper on the outer steering knuckle
  • It seems most aftermarket differentials use JK taper for their drag link mounting location. If you find this to be the case on your aftermarket differential, you can simply purchase a JK taper rod end cartridge and install it on the differential end of this drag link
  • If your tapers have been drilled out, or if you would like to attempt to use these components on an other-than-stock differential, you may review our additional cartridge offerings.
Component Specs.:
  • Drag Link Tube = 1 5/8 in. dia. 4130 heat-treated chromoly tube
  • Drag Link End Forgings = 1 1/4 in.-12 RH/LH threads, forged steel
  • Rod End Cartridges = JL/JT pitman arm taper on one end & JL/JT factory drag link taper on the differential end, 1 3/4 in.-12 threads on the O.D. and 9/16 in.-18 threads on the pin
Notes:
  • 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
  • If you decide to flip the Rod End Cartridges to mount the components in a high-steer configuration, keep in mind that all of the corresponding tapered holes must be tapered from the other direction as well
  • Intended for use with 0–6 in. of lift out of the box
  • Do not use this unit outboard of the lift amount requirements outlined above! Deviating from these parameters will cause damage and premature wear to the components!
  • You must grease all rod ends via their zerk fittings before use
  • Grease unit with non-synthetic, hi-moly lube grease, such as our CE-9013G

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.
