STEER SMARTS™ is proud to present the most EXTREME steering linkage for your Jeep JT/JL, “The YETI XD™ Series” linkage. We applied our 85 years of steering “lessons learned” to develop the strongest most durable linkage ever built for the Jeep. 

The YETI XD "No Drill" Top Mount Draglink 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.

FEATURES

YETI XD DRAGLINK ASSEMBLY:

Easy bolt-on installation.
Engineered for proper clearance to other chassis components to eliminate interferences.
Patent Pending "No Drill" Reverse Taper Mount makes for a quick and easy installation without the need of drilling or altering your knuckle.
FORGED IN THE USA

BALL JOINTS:

30mm 1 1/2 Ton ball joints 
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 provide exceptional ball joint wear resistance and robustness.
High quality seals ensure long ball joint life. Our 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.

DRAGLINK ENDS:

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 greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.
Forged from medium carbon high hardenability steel and heat treated for even greater buckling, impact, and fatigue strength.
Large 1 ¼ inch 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.

ADJUSTER TUBE: 

Draglink adjuster is manufactured from large diameter ¼ inch 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.
Designed with right hand and left hand threads for quick and easy adjustment when installed on the vehicle.
Internal threads and tube are also e-coated for long term serviceability.

Note: The 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.

***NOTE*** A minimum lift height of 4" ( and correct bump stop) is required for a top-mount draglink. Part #79022001 (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 due to interference issues

Note: A minimum of 17” wheels is recommended. 16" wheels with a maximum 4.5 back spacing might fit but not guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What makes it a "No Drill" draglink?

A: Unlike other top-mount kits that require you to drill out and taper the passenger-side knuckle, this version fits into knuckles that are factory-machined for top-mount installation, allowing for a bolt-in upgrade with no modification.

Q: Why choose a top mount draglink over a bottom mount?

A: A top mount draglink flattens the steering angle, which reduces bump steer on lifted vehicles. This results in better steering control and handling stability, especially over rough or uneven terrain.

Q: What lift height is this draglink intended for?

A: Best suited for vehicles with 3–6+ inches of lift. It should be paired with a raised front track bar bracket to maintain correct steering geometry and eliminate bump steer.
