Aluminum Steering Kit with JMX Pro 7/8" Rod Ends for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018

$725.99


Big tires bend factory JK steering; this kit fixes that with solid 1.5" 7075-T6 aerospace aluminum links running heat-treated chromoly offset JMX Pro 7/8" rod ends. Where a bent steel tie rod stays bent, 7075 aluminum can take a hit, deform, and spring back straight, all while weighing less. The offset heims clear the differential cover and knuckle, making this a proven 1-ton crossover steering upgrade for 2007-2018 Wrangler JK and JKU owners who wheel hard.

Features

  • 1.5" solid 7075-T6 aerospace aluminum tie rod and drag link
  • Heat-treated chromoly offset JMX Pro 7/8" rod ends clear the diff cover
  • Aluminum memory lets the links return to straight after an impact
  • High-misalignment spacers extend rod end life and articulation
  • 3/4" Grade 8 bolts with stover lock nuts at the knuckles
  • Machined wrench flats for quick toe adjustment; flippable above or below the knuckle
  • Right-hand-drive compatible by flipping the drag link

Fitment requires drilling the knuckles and pitman arm to 3/4"; set toe-in to 1/16"-1/8" and re-torque after the first 50 miles. Reid Racing knuckles are supported using Artec's reference lengths, but the kit is not compatible with weld-on high-steer arms — for a high-steer build, use the DIY Steel Steering Kit instead.

Aluminum Steering Kit with JMX Pro 7/8" Rod Ends for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 FAQs

What drilling or fabrication does the install need?

The steering knuckles and the pitman arm must be drilled out to 3/4" to accept the Grade 8 bolts — a drill press is recommended for the pitman arm. No welding is required. After install, set toe-in to 1/16"-1/8" and re-check the hardware after about 50 miles.

Will it work with high-steer arms or aftermarket knuckles?

Reid Racing knuckles are supported using Artec's published reference lengths, but the kit is not compatible with weld-on high-steer arms. If you are building a high-steer or 1-ton swap setup, Artec's DIY steel steering kit is the better match.

Is aluminum really strong enough for a tie rod?

Yes. The links are solid 1.5" 7075-T6 aerospace aluminum, and unlike steel tubing that stays bent after a rock strike, 7075 can deform and return to straight. Paired with heat-treated chromoly JMX Pro rod ends, it is a trail-proven setup on hard-wheeled JKs.
