Crossover Steering Kit with 7-8" JMX rod ends

This Artec Crossover Steering Kit supplies everything needed to build a heavy-duty crossover (high-steer) tie rod and drag link using Artec's JMX rod ends and DOM tubing. It's aimed at bigger-tire and one-ton axle builds where the factory steering links flex or fail — giving you a stout, rebuildable steering setup you assemble to your own length.

Key Features

• Complete tie rod and drag link package for a crossover / high-steer conversion
• JMX 7/8" rod ends: 3/4" bore for the tie rod, 7/8" bore for the drag link
• 1.5" OD x .250" wall 1026 DOM tubing — 48" for the drag link, 54" for the tie rod
• Wrench-flat 7/8"-14tpi tube adapters and jam nuts for easy adjustment
• 7/8" x 3/4" bore high-misalignment spacers for the drag link
• Builds a drag link up to 54" and a tie rod up to 59" long

Fitment & Compatibility

A universal fabrication steering kit for builders running a crossover / high-steer setup on a solid-axle Jeep or one-ton swap. It is length-adjustable rather than vehicle-specific: you cut and set the DOM tube to your axle and high-steer arm spacing. It requires high-steer arms (sold separately) and drilling/tapping of the knuckle or arms per your steering design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of steering does this build?
A heavy-duty crossover (high-steer) tie rod and drag link. It requires high-steer arms and is common on big-tire and one-ton axle builds.

How long can the links be?
The included DOM tube supports a drag link up to 54" and a tie rod up to 59", cut to fit your axle.

Does it require welding or cutting?
You'll cut the DOM tube to length; the tube adapters are pressed and welded into the tube in typical builds. High-steer arms and knuckle prep are separate.
