The quality of my Apex drag link compared to the yeti xd I just removed after 1 year of use is night and day! The materials and quality control is significantly better, and the customer service has been outstanding. I immediately ordered a tie rod replacement as soon as I received my drag link in the mail.
👍
Great quality product it takes a lot to bend.
Fit perfectly on the tie rod ends, nice and sealed now!!

Great Parts and Service, just need clearer and video instructions for assembly for those who learn by pictures. Would love a better decal then the big black square Apex.
I understand that the intension is to machine this for an extremely tight fit. For $110 worth of machined aluminum i dont love it. This will literally need to be pressed onto the tube. Theres no way its needs to be that undercut with the 2 set screws installed. Even then the radius is either not deep enough or the cap screws should be longer. Theres maybe 5 threads engaged and we will see if thats going to hold until I get others to replace them. It did stay put for a test drive. Will update if something happens.
Note - To use with Bilstein you will have to drill the 12mm clamp side eyelet to 1/2". The mark your 19-3/8" center and align it with the 1/2-20 on the clamp before you press it on. You do not want to have to move or adjust it after its on. It will mar the tube.
The KIT125 2.5 Ton Steering System is an absolute piece of work, artwork. We had our local highly recommended Offroad shop install a 5” lift on her new Gladiator with only 125 miles on the odometer. The lift consisted of f&r springs, reservoir shocks, upper & lower control arms and front & rear adjustable track bars at both ends. Around 200 miles or so, when I was driving it, we got to experience the Death Wobble. At 60 mph on the interstate it about put me in the medium. It happened to my wife a couple of times the following week so bad she wouldn’t drive it to work at 5am in the dark. So I had to take her to & from work for three days in my ‘26 C8. lol, she don’t have permission to get in the driver’s seat. Good thing during her catered-to trips it wasn’t raining cause my C8 doesn't see rain. Anyway, time to study up on the DW bullshit and build her a steering system 2nd to none. Your gorgeous KIT25 along with the Fox steering stabilizer fit the bill. To your kit I added a Synegry upper track bar mount brace and lastly a pair of American Iron Offroad balljoint eliminators. With this pricey steering upgrades there is no way we’ll ever see a death wobble again or have any suspension/steering issues.
So, the steering system I put together using your outrageous components makes me now feel my wife is safe and so happy with her new ride. We will be relocating (retiring) to Panama City Beach-West later next month. Moving company taking care of house hold items, me in the C8 and Lisa in her Gladiator with our French bulldog and our pit bull.
Life will be grand, right? NOPE 😡😡😡😡😡😡
After thousands & thousands spent on the lift, 37s on 20s, the extremely awesome Apex steering components and install labor, we cannot keep it in our lane and sometimes out of oncoming traffic. This thing is so fricken dangerous with its sloppy steering and wandering issues. I don’t remember ever being this pissed off. Of course we picked it up late on a Friday and the shop is closed on Saturdays. So come again Monday, I was back to coming & going taking her to work. On Monday’s heated conversation the installer read the balljoint eliminator install sheet that the balljoints will need to be re-torqued at 500 & 1000 miles. I blame all of the extreme wandering and looseness on these balljoints as there is no-way your components could do this. I stiffened up the Fox stabilizer to the max which helped some (just a bandaid) and this allows her to stay off the interstates when going/coming to work and will let her to get some miles on it before our big move. Before we head out to FL I will get the installer to re-torque the BJs and check the alignment again. All we can do now is pray this fixes the wandering. Otherwise I just f__king spent close to $7K trashing a brand new Gladiator.
All I wanted was a safe & reliable vehicle that my wife & dogs could make the 1K plus mile trip to PCB without any issues. Well at least we believe the Death Wobble is gone.
Sorry for the long rant. Im just pissed AF over this. But anyway, even if this Jeep never gets thrashed on & knowing your KIT125 is overkill for this particular driver, Apex Chassis steering components are such a great mod. Thank you for the righteous parts and very quick shipping.
Best regards,
