Improve Your Lifted Wrangler or Gladiator’s Steering with a Rock Jock High Steer Knuckle Kit
Rock Jock’s bread and butter is finding effective solutions to real-world off-roading needs. Need proof? Ever hear of Johnny Joint Rod Ends? Antirock Sway Bars? Currectlync steering components? All these parts were developed by Rock Jock, and Summit Racing has a few of their other innovative products for JL Wranglers and Gladiators we also think you’ll like.
High Steer Knuckle Kits for JL Wrangler and Gladiator
Let’s face facts. If you’re rocking a 2018 or later Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator, chances are you’re going to put a lift kit and bigger tires on it. Rock Jock knows that too. That’s why they developed a cure for the failure-prone factory aluminum steering knuckles.
Rock Jock High Steer Knuckle Kits have everything needed to improve your Wrangler or Gladiator’s off-road capabilities and on-road drivability. For starters, the knuckles are made from cast iron to significantly improve durability and strength. The knuckles raise the tie rod assembly 2.75 inches and the drag link 2.5 inches to keep the tie rod off rocks and other trail obstacles. This also restores the factory steering geometry so there’s no hint of bump steer. Adjustable steering stops ease the strain on steering components at full steering lock.
The included Currectlync Steering System features a forged 1 5/8-inch chromoly tie rod assembly and forged steel rod ends that are comparable in size to those found on one-ton trucks. The high articulation forged chromoly drag link provides maximum up-travel capabilities. Depending on the kit, you will receive either a track bar relocation bracket for use with a steering stabilizer shock or a mount for use with a ram assist steering kit.
Rock Jock High Steer Knuckle Kits fit all 2018-23 Jeep JL Wranglers and 2019-2023 Gladiators. The factory ball joints, unit bearings, axles, brakes, and dust shields can all be reused with
these kits.
Johnny Joint Front Adjustable Trac Bar for JL Wrangler and Gladiator
It’s inevitable. When you lift a Jeep, the front axle will shift to the side. Rock Jock’s Front Adjustable Trac Bar allows you to recenter the front axle under your rig after a lift kit has been added, or even after the springs have settled from a few years of use. Its unique shape provides maximum clearance in all the right places, allowing for the greatest articulation for all differential options.
No lightweight materials are used here. Rock Jock builds the bar from 1.25-inch heavy-wall DOM tubing and tops it with a black powdercoat finish for good looks and corrosion resistance. For the utmost in unrestricted movement, you’ll find a Johnny Joint rod end on the chassis side with a Flex Axis rod end on the axle side. Both are fully greaseable for long-lasting durability and quiet operation. Lastly, a pinch clamp on the adjustable ends keeps the Trac Bar adjustment perfectly set.
The Rock Jock Johnny Joint Front Adjustable Trac Bar fits all 2018-23 Jeep JL Wranglers and 2019-2023 Gladiators.
Adjustable Front Bump Stops for JK/JL Wrangler and Gladiator
When you’re off-road and the axles are fully articulated, the factory lower bump stop on the front axle rotates toward the center of the vehicle, often missing the upper bump stop entirely. This creates a perfect recipe for broken parts.
Rock Jock Adjustable Front Bump Stops offer a completely different take on the bump stop concept. They feature billet aluminum stands with 5/16-inch steel shims that can be added or removed to fine tune their overall length. This guarantees they make contact when and where you need it. The adjustments can be made with the bump stops on the vehicle with supplied spanner wrench, and the OEM bump stop cushions are retained to provide a factory feel when they make contact.
The Rock Jock Adjustable Front Bump Stops are so cool and ground-breaking that SEMA recently awarded them its 2023 Best New Off-Road/4-Wheel Drive Product of the Year. They fit all 2007-23 Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators.
Many of Rock Jock’s high-steer components can be purchased separately for adventurous builders that want to create their own custom steering setup. Parts available include Trac Bars, Currectlync Drag Links, Ram Assist Steering Mounts, and more.
