SteerSmarts Yeti XD Drag Link 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL | Gladiator JT
Description
Overview
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.
