Requires higher offset or spacers to clearance properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e***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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNote: A minimum of 17” wheels is recommended. 16\" wheels with a maximum 4.5 back spacing might fit but not guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What makes it a \"No Drill\" draglink?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Why choose a top mount draglink over a bottom mount?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What lift height is this draglink intended for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steer Smarts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46572077023409,"sku":"78078001","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/9004\/0753\/files\/xm1pjxrywa9rw0w0isx2.jpg?v=1767932105","url":"https:\/\/wp4x4.com\/products\/steer-smarts-yeti-xd-no-drill-top-mount-draglink","provider":"WP4x4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
