What tie-rod diameter does the clamp fit?It fits 42 mm, or 1.625-inch, outside-diameter tie-rod tubes only.
Can it hold a factory Jeep stabilizer?Yes. RockJock lists stock JL, JT, and JK steering stabilizer shocks.
Can it hold an aftermarket stabilizer?It accepts most traditional aftermarket stabilizer shocks when the adjustable mounting gap and clearances match.
Can it be used with ram assist?No. RockJock specifies this bracket for traditional stabilizer shocks only.
Does the tie rod need machining?No. The two-piece clamp installs without machining or modifying the tie rod.
Can the clamp be rotated?Yes, but the final orientation must preserve clearance through full steering and suspension travel.
Is another relocation bracket needed on JL or JT applications?Yes. RockJock states that JL and JT installations also require relocating the stabilizer's opposite end with an application-appropriate bracket.
Installation Instructions
- Verify the package label and manufacturer part number RJ-401001-101 before removing, cutting, or installing components.
- Confirm the tie rod measures exactly 42 mm (1.625 inches) outside diameter and the shock is a traditional stabilizer, not ram assist.
- Choose an orientation that provides clearance at full steering lock and throughout suspension travel.
- Place the two forged clamp halves around the clean tie-rod tube.
- Install and evenly tighten the three grade 8 clamp bolts using RockJock's current procedure.
- Use the shock bolt and jam nut to set the mounting gap without side-loading the shock bushing.
- For JL and JT applications, install the required opposite-end relocation bracket.
- Cycle steering and suspension completely, correct any contact or binding, then torque and reinspect the hardware after initial use.
