STEER SMARTS YETI XD™ Top Mount Draglink – Jeep JK Wrangler (High Steer Compatible, 2007–2018)
Take your steering to the next level with the STEER SMARTS™ YETI XD™ Top Mount Draglink, designed specifically for Jeep JK Wranglers running a high-steer setup or a flipped draglink configuration. Backed by over 85 years of engineering excellence, this extreme-duty steering linkage is engineered for those who demand unmatched performance, strength, and precision—on and off the trail.
If you've already modified your JK for a top-mount draglink, this bolt-on solution provides the strength and geometry your build needs to handle larger tires, aggressive terrain, and high-speed stability.

Made in the USA
Ball Joints:
-
Oversized 30mm 2.5-ton ball joints purpose-built for Jeep JK
