Your cart is empty.Beef up your ride with Rugged Ridge steering components. This is a bolt-on solution for preventing bent tie rods from wheeling with larger tires. The tubes are 1-1/4 inch ID steel that is cold rolled, pierced, and drawn through dies to produce a 1/4 in. wall thickness. This is true DOM tubing with NO seams OR welds to fail. Heavy duty 7/8 inch rod ends feature standard tapered ends to fit stock knuckle applications. You get one ton strength without any modifications to your steering knuckles.

Added to my 2000 Jeep TJ to stop off road bump steer and maintain more true alignment. Also is way heavier than stock

I got a 98 ZJ 4” lift with big ole tires. One of the best parts I’ve gotten. Install is pretty straight forward and easy. Ride is incredibly smoother, handling is significantly better. Parts feel of good quality. Overall I’m definitely satisfied with purchase. If you are questioning if you should spend the money on this or go with factory replacement, I’d go with this 10/10 times. ITS WORTH IT.

I was so excited to install this product on my Jeep TJ but to my surprise this product failed very rapidly. From the tie rod joints to the dead space this product was a complete waste of both money and time. I just missed the return date so now I’m stuck with this product which means I need to purchase something else and spend more money. Sorry Amazon, it’s not your fault but this product failed me.

Steering looks ok but was missing jam nuts or tubing clamps necessary to lock the alignment.I’ve been trying to contact customer support for a month with zero reply, I’ve been nice! I even offered to buy the pieces!It turns out Rugged Ridge has a reputation for zero customer support and they use metric hardware that’s very hard to find.Don’t do it!! Buy something from a reputable company!!!

Was really impressed with the quality right out of the box. I installed it along with other upgrades and was unpleasantly surprised by a busted ball joint boot where it connects to the pitman arm.. This is after 25 miles of on road driving. Will be contacting rugged ridge tomorrow.Update: Omix-ada customer service has so far proven to be lacking in the one fundamental thing communication. Ive opened a complaint ticket and called and left a detailed message along with pictures showing the products inferior components but havent received any kind of resolution almost 2 weeks later.. This is really disappointing should have just bought Rough Country. Might just have to do that after i return it if i dont receive some kind of communication other that "your comment has been noted".This item was purchased 2/22/21. It was promptly installed and aligned. All the ball joint bellows/boots are now busted. I have tried to get in contact with rugged ridge about it in the beginning of march and here we are 4/14/21 and have yet to hear any word back about anything at all. Went ahead and bought the Rough Country steering kit instead. Dont buy this product you will be disappointed by the lack of customer service and the over all quality of the part.

All I can say is wow! Package arrived timely as usual, shipped same day. Very heavy duty bolt-on option compared to stock, the overall handling of the jeep is better then ever, all hardware included, super easy install, did I say bolt-on? Great kit, stop thinking about it and get it! 01 XJ 4.5" Lift, 3 linked. IRO track bar, no drop pitman arm, perfect angles. Minor toe adjustment afterwards.

Product quality: As described.Installation instructions: Straight forward and easy to understand.Performance: I installed the kit on my 1999 Cherokee XJ Sport w/3.5” suspension lift.VAST improvement over stock steering components.The ONLY complaint(Not enough of an issue for me to lower my product rating) I have is that when alignment is required; the steering stabilizer bracket MUST be loosened in order to facilitate adjustment of the drag link. Like I said; not REALLY a big deal...just different than that of the stock components which overall is a HUGE improvement over the stock components.

Very nice heavy duty kit. I like the quality and sturdiness of the product.Still needs to install it on my 2006 Jeep TJ which is lifted 2.5 inch to see how it fits and drives, so I will update this review soon with pictures.Packing was great with installation guidelines and all the necessary parts bolts and brackets.I only wish they included some decals :(Update:Easy Install, the ride is much better and the steering feels more tightened especially on bumpy roads,I bought a SS heavy duty track bar to install with this kit, but unfortunately the track bar didn't fit, otherwise i am sure I would feel the huge difference.Tried it on Dune bashing and it was sturdy as hell... so happy with it. easy 5 stars for installation, sturdiness, looks and priceover all,

While replacing the rod ends on my RR steering kit, noticed inner threads of the lower rod were BAD. Kit was at just under 30k miles, not a daily driver, not a rock crawler, so I expected rod ends to be worn, but was puzzled about lower rod inner threads. But, hey, c'est la vie.So, ordered the 18050.82 as a replacement. Upon arrival, it won't install properly on a 1999 XJ with a 3.5" kit. That should sound odd, because the 18052.82 kit states for TJ/XJ/ZJ 84-01, with a lift 2-4". No joy.The issue is, 18050.82 ships with a 18043.27 rod end, which has wrong angle for knuckles on a XJ (any year, we compared to another, model '86). The part needed for XJ is 18043.28 make sure to take note.Manufacturer has been informed.First picture above is the NEW kit, with the WRONG (1043.27) rod end. Second picture shows the OLD, CORRECT rod end (18043.28)Other than that, kit installation was straightforward, performance was adequate; a much better part than the somewhat flimsy factory linkage, with the sleeve that collapses if you stare too hard at it.

Several years ago I purchased and installed a Rugged Ridge heavy duty tie rod and drag link for a CJ 7. It was bullet proof and performed very well. I recently purchased a Wrangler TJ and immediately decided to add the Rugged Ridge Crossover Steering Conversion Kit. It is well designed, heavy duty and easy installation. I installed it in less than 2 hours including preliminary alignment adjustment. It improved the handling and feel greatly. I took and had it aligned and it is was certainly worth the price to up-grade.Vehicle;2001 Jeep Wrangler TJTeraflex 4" long arm lift33 12.5 15 BF Goodrich All Terrain tires
