AEV's High-Steering Kit features custom steering knuckles, raised track-bar tower, heavy-duty draglink and tie-rod, plus a high-clearance steering damper relocation kit When combined, the components used in the AEV High Steer kit improve steering ground clearance and flatten the geometry of the draglink and track-bar, drawing the Jeep's front roll-center closer to its center of gravity. The result is crisper turn-in steering feel and reduced body-roll during spirited driving.
Features
- Key FeaturesImproved Steering Geometry: Raises steering linkages (tie rod by 2.75", track bar/drag link by 2.5") to correct geometry after lifting
- Enhanced Handling & Stability: Flattens drag link/track bar angles, reduces bump steer and body roll, and moves front roll center closer to the center of gravity
- Increased Off-Road Clearance: Raised steering linkages prevent impact with obstacles on rough terrain
- Adjustable Steering Control: Features adjustable steering stops for fine-tuning lock-to-lock steering
- Durable Construction: Includes cast iron high steer knuckles, forged steel drag link, tie rod ends, and a chromoly tube tie rod
Important Notes
- This kit requires the replacement of your factory JL/JT stabilizer damper
- This kit is incompatible with twin-tube or thru-rod stabilizer shocks
- Other OEM-length monotube dampers may also be compatible.- Aftermarket differential covers may necessitate modifications to fit the stabilizer shock tie rod bracket, and some may not be compatible at all
- Compatible with the updated AEV Front Diff Cover (AJLZ1001AB)
- Owners of earlier AEV diff covers should lightly grind the cover to avoid contact with the stabilizer damper tie rod mount, preventing potential noise during full left turns
- This modification is non-critical and cosmetic.- Minimum 17" Diameter wheel must be used with up to 5.5" of wheel backspacing (This is the stock JL Wrangler wheel offset).- Compatible with all JL Rubicon models and JT Rubicon, Mojave, and Max Tow models
- Can only be used with the wider width factory axles that are in the Rubicon, Mojave, and JT Max Tow models.- Required minimum bump stop extension from stock (Gas=2.2in, Diesel=1in, 392=0.2in)
- This extra bump stop is required for this engine variant
