High Steer System

.                                

The TeraFlex TJ/LJ Dana 30 Pro LCG High Steer System addresses all of the front-end steering issues associated with lifted TJ Wrangler and LJ Wrangler Unlimited models. This system beefs up the steering components of the Dana 30 front axle, helps maximize steering component ground clearance, and restores correct steering geometry for superior highway drivability. Highly recommended for TJ and LJ models with 4” or more lift.

.    

Our Pro LCG System combines our High Steer Knuckle Kit with our complete Drag Link & Tie Rod Kit w/ 1-ton rod ends, Drop Pitman Arm, Sway Bar Mounts, and Sway Bar Links. The standard kit only includes our High Steer Knuckle Kit and complete Drag Link & Tie Rod Kit w/ 1-ton rod ends. These kits are compatible with all factory and aftermarket axle shafts, ball joints, wheel hubs, and tie rods.

The TeraFlex TJ/LJ Complete Pro LCG High Steer Tie Rod End Kit includes all of the components needed to “flip” the tie rod over the knuckle to increase ground clearance an additional 3’ for added tie rod protection. The kit can also be used to rebuild an existing flipped tie rod.

All of our individual Tie Rod Ends utilize the stronger Dodge 1-ton joint end. Stock taper tie rod ends fit the Dana 30 axle, while the larger taper Tie Rod ends fit the Dana 60 or CRD60 axle.
