Description
STEER SMARTS is proud to present the most EXTREME steering linkage for your Jeep JL/JT, “The YETI XD™ Series” linkage. We applied our 100+ years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Wrangler/Gladiator.
The YETI XD High-Steer Knuckle Drag Link is intended for use with products like a Reid High-steer knuckle where the drag link mounts on top of the knuckle rather than in the stock location under the knuckle (bottom mount). This product can be swapped out to replace a bottom mount or no-drill top mount passenger side end to allow you to have a solution for a high-steer knuckle.
**THIS PART DOES NOT COME WITH A TAPER INSERT -- THIS DRAGLINK REPLACEMENT END HAS A TAPERED STUD INTENDED FOR USE WITH AFTERMARKET KNUCKLES (REID RACING) THAT ALREADY HAS A MACHINED TAPER ON TOP OF KNUCKLE, OR, FOR A FACTORY KNUCKLE PREVIOUSLY DRILLED OR SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO DRILL THE KNUCKLE AND HAS A 7/8ths INSERT**
***USE OF THIS PRODUCT WILL REQUIRE A TRACK BAR RELOCATION BRACKET.***
***NOTE*** A MINIMUM LIFT HEIGHT OF 4.5-5" ( WITH CORRECT BUMP STOP) IS REQUIRED TO CORRECTLY RUN A TOP-MOUNT DRAGLINK ON THE JL/JT PLATFORM. MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS WILL VARY BY LIFT MANUFACTURER. PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU ARE UNSURE. PART #79022001 (TRACK BAR RELOCATION BRACKET) IS NECESSARY WHEN FLIPPING YOUR DRAGLINK - IT MAINTAINS PROPER TRACK BAR AND DRAGLINK GEOMETRY. FOR THOSE RUNNING METAL CLOAK LIFTS, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND A TOP MOUNT DRAGLINK FOR THEIR LIFT KITS D/T INTERFERENCE ISSUES.
**Note: Will not work with OEM 17" wheels or wheels with OEM style offset/backspacing. Requires higher offset or spacers to clearance properly.**
