Exclusive to MetalCloak this [click for more...] tie rod comes with dual 1-ton forged and heat treated 1" Dog-Leg Rod-Ends that have strength AND provides clearance for use with stock or aftermarket wheels - allows the best turning radius possible. MetalCloak dog-legged rod ends control tie rod flop providing better performance. Ends are sealed with grease boots to keep debris out and lubrication in. The adjustable tie rod can be adjusted while installed on the vehicle for fine tuning.

The heavy duty 3/16" adjustable steering stabilizer mount bracket installs into the factory location and re-positions the stabilizer up and out of harm’s way. RockSport steering stabilizer/damper has increased compression and extension damping performance over the original equipment and is tuned specifically for the JL and JT Jeeps.

This improved performance will assist in the overall ride and control of your Jeep.

The optional billet mount is a two piece aluminum design, is simple to install, and allows you to position the stabilizer for maximum performance. Finished in anodized black with a laser engraved "M" around the recessed bolt holes for a clean and custom look.

Note: Minimum 2" lift required.

Note: The RockSport steering stabilizer kit works with Left Hand Drive applications only.

Note: Raised steering stabilizer requires at least 2” of bump stop to clear frame.

Note: If purchasing the billet tie rod mount MetalCloak highly recommends using anti-seize on all bolts.

MetalCloak's Jeep JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator Suspension.

Who Is MetalCloak?

MetalCloak creates Game-Changing Products for the Off Road Enthusiast.

Dog-Legged Tie Rod

The Chromoly Dog-Legged Tie Rod for the Jeep JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator is added strength to replace the vulnerable stock tie rod.

RockSport Steering Stabilizer

Designed for on and off-road use this product has been specifically engineered for the rigors of larger tires and Jeeps with lift suspensions

Why Gold Zinc?

It's time for The MetalCloak Minute... where we answer frequently asked questions in about a minute. Today's topic: Gold Zinc

What is Corner Travel Index?

Since 2014 MetalCloak has tested thousands and thousands of rigs at events all across the county collecting specs on the build and cataloging the results. The data collected allows us to make our own products better.

FMVSS 126 Compliant

MetalCloak not only has the best off road flex, but we are also Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126 certified and compliant. No other company can match our on- and off-road performance.

THE TECH

Chromoly Steel For Added Strength

Making a Tie Rod is easy, but we don't do easy; we chose Normalized 4130 Chromoly 1.625”OD .375” wall tube that can take a beating without breaking (97,200 pound per square inch).

Anti Flop Feature

Tie Rod Anti Flop Rod End, designed for JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator steering for optimal motion and stability.
This specially designed rod end has been engineered just for the JL Wrangler steering.

Full side to side range of motion ensures bind free steering when pushing the extremes of your Jeeps travel and articulation, while a limited "front to back" range of movement is built into the rod-end and eliminates the possibility of the offset to allow the tie-rod to "flop".

Standard Tie Rod Mount

  • CAD Formed 3/16" Hot Rolled Steel
  • Easy Bolt-On Bracket (No Welding)
  • Zinc Chromate Plate
