  • Be sure to select the correct track for your model, as these models have different tie rod lengths.

CavFab JL/JT Heavy Duty Steering Kit – FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — CavFab 2″ 7075 AL “2.5-Ton” Steering Kit

(Applies to Jeep Wrangler JL 2018-present & Gladiator JT 2020-present)

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes this a “2.5-Ton” steering system?
The oversized 1.25″ threaded shanks and military-grade ball studs were originally developed for 2.5-ton military trucks, providing huge load capacity over OEM components.

2. Do I need a professional alignment after installation?
Yes. Anytime you replace a tie rod or drag link, your toe and steering wheel center will change. A professional laser alignment is recommended.

3. Will this fit a flipped (high-steer) drag link setup?
This kit is designed for the factory orientation. A flipped knuckle end is not currently offered.

4. Can I reuse my factory steering stabilizer?
Yes. Both narrow- and wide-track kits retain the OEM stabilizer location and fit most aftermarket dampers without spacers.

5. What wheel backspacing is required?
17″+ wheels with 4.5″ or less backspacing will clear. Factory Rubicon/Sport/Sahara wheels require spacers or aftermarket wheels.

6. Will this cure death wobble?
If your wobble is caused by worn tie rod ends or a bent drag link, yes. But other causes (track bar wear, caster angle, tire balance) must be inspected.

7. How often should I grease the tie rod ends?
Every 5,000 miles or after deep water crossings. Just one slow pump of EP2 grease is enough. overfilling can damage the boot.

8. What’s the torque spec for jam nuts?
250 ft-lb with red threadlocker. Recheck torque after the first 100 miles.

9. Will it work with lifted Jeeps?
Yes — works with 0–6.5″ lifts. For lifts over 4.5″, a flipped drag link and raised track bar bracket are recommended.

10. Is there a lifetime warranty?
Yes. CavFab covers bending/breaking of Aluminum bars and cracks in 2.5-ton ends for the original owner. Boots and cosmetic wear are consumables.

Installed 4/30/25 on my 2022 JLUR. Top shelf quality machining. Fit and finish is spot on and arrived well packaged. I finished mine with a gray enamel. Installation was straight forward after a few measurements. Highly recommend.
