If you are looking to substantially improve the steering response and body-roll control of your 2.5″ to 6″ lifted JL Wrangler or Gladiator, look no further. 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.

Key Features

  • Improved 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 Fitment Notes

  • This kit requires the replacement of your factory JL/JT stabilizer damper. For optimal performance, we recommend using the AEV Steering 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. 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). Our kit includes two 1/2″ front bump stop spacers for customers who have the AEV 2.5″ DualSport suspension kit on their Gas 3.6L JL/JT; this extra bump stop is required for this engine variant.
