Give your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT the upgrade it deserves with the SteerSmarts Yeti XD Drag Link, designed to handle everything from daily driving to hardcore off-road adventures. This beast of a drag link is forged for extreme strength, fully adjustable, and engineered to deliver reliable performance no matter what you throw at it.
You’ve got three options to fit your setup:
- Bottom Mount: A direct stock replacement that’s simple and effective.
- No-Drill Top Mount: Perfect for high-steer setups, this bolts on with no drilling required and features our reverse taper mount for quick installation.
- High-Steer Knuckle/Drilled Knuckle Top Mount: Ideal for aftermarket knuckles like Reid Racing or modified stock knuckles. This option is built for serious customization.
The Yeti XD Drag Link is packed with heavy-duty features like massive 1½-ton steel ball joints, a 4130 Chromoly steel adjuster tube for unbeatable strength, and a durable e-coated and powder-coated finish to keep it looking sharp even after rough trails. It’s designed for quick and easy adjustments on the vehicle and includes clamps instead of jam nuts for added reliability. Heads-up: If you’re going with a top-mount setup, you’ll need a lift of 4.5–5” (plus proper bump stops). Lift requirements can vary by brand, so reach out if you’re not sure what works with your setup. You’ll also need a track bar relocation bracket for proper track bar and drag link geometry when flipping the drag link. Not recommended for MetalCloak lifts due to clearance issues. This drag link fits all left-hand drive JL Wranglers 2018–2024 and JT Gladiators, including Rubicon and Unlimited trims. Just keep in mind: the no-drill top mount won’t work with OEM 17” wheels, it requires higher offsets or spacers for proper clearance.
Proudly MADE IN THE USA, the SteerSmarts Yeti XD Drag Link is built to perform and last, giving you confidence behind the wheel wherever your Jeep takes you.

- FORGED IN THE USA
- 30mm 1 1/2 Ton ball joints designed specifically for the JL.
- Cold-headed medium carbon alloy steel ball studs provide incredible impact toughness for extreme duty usage.
- Induction heat-treated ball studs provide ultimate fatigue strength and superior off-road durability.
- Steel on steel bearings provides exceptional ball joint wear resistance and robustness.
- High-quality seals ensure long ball joint life.
- Superior seals have been rigorously tested to minimize leakage between grease service intervals which greatly improves our ball joint reliability over our competition.
- Fully greaseable.
- Powder coat over E-coat for a long-lasting appearance under harsh conditions.
- External threads are e-coated for durability and long-term serviceability.
- Forged from medium carbon high harden-ability steel and heat treated for even greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.
- Large 1 1/4" rolled threads at tie rod adjuster and draglink ends provide significantly increased strength over the original equipment threads.
- Unique “Reverse Pin” technology prevents our linkage from flopping or rocking. This technology is built into the socket unlike the weak external supports on some competitor linkages.
- Drag link adjuster is manufactured from large diameter 1/4" thick wall high strength 4130 Chromoly steel tubing for maximum buckling strength.
- Adjuster clamps assure proper clamp force using conventional tools without the possible risk of loosening like large jam nuts.

- Internal threads and tube are also e-coated for long-term serviceability.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- A minimum lift height of 4.5-5" (and correct bump stop) is required for a top-mount draglink. minimum height requirements will vary by lift manufacturer - please contact us if you are unsure.
- A track bar relocation bracket is necessary when flipping your draglink - it maintains proper track bar and draglink geometry. for those running metal-cloak lifts, we do not recommend a top mount draglink for their lift kits d/t interference issues.
- The Yeti XD high-steer knuckle drag link (#78102001) is intended for use with products like a Reid high-steer knuckle where the drag link mounts on top of the knuckle rather than in the stock location under the knuckle (bottom mount). this product can be swapped out to replace a bottom mount or no-drill top mount passenger side end to allow you to have a solution for a high-steer knuckle. **this part does not come with a taper insert -- this draglink replacement end has a tapered stud intended for use with aftermarket knuckles (Reid racing) that already has a machined taper on top of knuckle, or, for a factory knuckle previously drilled or someone that wants to drill the knuckle and has a 7/8ths insert**
- No-drill top mount will not work with oem 17" wheels or wheels with oem style offset/backspacing. requires higher offset or spacers to clearance properly
- the Yeti XD "no drill" top mount draglink (#78078001) is a complete bolt-on for high steer applications and features our patent pending reverse taper mount design.
- The Yeti XD "no drill" is the quickest and easiest draglink flip on the market. Installation takes just minutes and there is no need to modify or alter your stock knuckle. This draglink bolts to the factory tapered knuckle hole and the factory pitman arm hole.
