FEATURES

YETI XD DRAGLINK WITH GRIFFIN XD ASSEMBLY:
 

·         Easy bolt-on installation.

·         Griffin XD Attenuator for the highest level of on-road and off-road stability and performance.

·         Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.

·         MADE IN THE USA

BALL JOINTS:
 

·         30mm 1 1/2 Ton ball joints designed specifically for the JK.

·         Cold headed medium carbon alloy steel ball studs provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage.

·         Induction heat treated ball studs provide ultimate fatigue strength and superior off-road durability.

·         Stock JK tapered stud that bolts to either a drilled and sleeved factory knuckle or a High Steer Knuckle

·         Steel on steel bearings provide exceptional ball joint wear resistance and robustness.

·         High quality seals ensure long ball joint life. Our superior seals have been rigorously tested to minimize leakage between grease service intervals which greatly improves our ball joint reliability over our competition.

·         Fully greaseable.

DRAGLINK ENDS:

·         Powder coat over E-coat for a long lasting appearance under harsh conditions.

·         External threads are e-coated for durability and long term serviceability.

·         Forged from medium carbon high harden-ability steel and heat treated for greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.

·         Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat treated for even greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.

·         Large 1 ¼ inch rolled threads at tie rod adjuster and draglink ends provide significantly increased strength over the original equipment threads.

·         Unique “Reverse Pin” technology prevents our linkage from flopping or rocking. This technology is built into the socket unlike the weak external supports on some competitor linkages.

GRIFFIN XD ATTENUATOR: 
 

·         Reduces harsh and negative feedback to your steering wheel.

·         Draglink adjuster is manufactured from large diameter ¼ inch thick wall high strength 4130 Chromoly steel tubing for maximum buckling strength.

·         Adjuster clamps assure proper clamp force using conventional tools without the possible risk of loosening like large jam nuts.

·         Designed with right hand and left hand threads for quick and easy adjustment when installed on the vehicle.

·         E-coated for a long lasting appearance under harsh conditions.

·         Internal threads and tube are also e-coated for long term serviceability.

*Draglink fits all left hand drive JK Wrangler models 2007 to 2017 including Rubicon and Unlimited.

Note: A minimum of 17”wheels is recommended. 16" wheels with a maximum 4.5 back spacing might fit but not guaranteed.

**Jeeps equipped with Anniversary Edition Factory Skid plates will need to slightly modify skid plate for clearance with GriffinXD

**THIS PART DOES NOT COME WITH A TAPER SLEEVE - THIS DRAGLINK HAS A TAPERED STUD INTENDED FOR AFTERMARKET KNUCKLES WITH A MACHINED TAPER OR A FACTORY KNUCKLE PREVIOUSLY DRILLED WITH A 7/8ths INSERT**

A: The Griffin Attenuator is a patented inline dampener that reduces steering vibration, road harshness, and bump steer. It improves on-road handling, especially on lifted Jeeps running larger tires.

A: A top mount draglink improves steering geometry by flattening the draglink angle. This helps reduce bump steer on lifted vehicles and improves steering control over rough terrain.

A: This top mount draglink is best suited for 3.5”–6+” lift kits. It must be paired with a raised track bar bracket to maintain proper geometry and eliminate bump steer.

A: Yes. It includes an adjustment sleeve with opposing threads, allowing for easy, on-vehicle steering wheel centering without removing the draglink.
