JKS Manufacturing Hi-Mount Steering Stabilizer Bracket

2005–2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

Part #: JKSOGS162

Overview

The JKS Manufacturing Hi-Mount Steering Stabilizer Bracket is a precision-engineered upgrade designed to improve the durability and performance of the steering system on Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 to 2018 and Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010. This bracket addresses a common weakness in the factory steering stabilizer mount by relocating the stabilizer higher on the axle housing, significantly reducing exposure to trail hazards such as rocks, roots, and debris.

Ideal for off-road enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, the JKS Hi-Mount Bracket enhances steering control and reliability by protecting the stabilizer from premature failure caused by the factory mount’s vulnerable low position. Whether tackling rugged trails or navigating challenging road conditions, this upgrade provides peace of mind and improved vehicle handling.

Key Features

Built for rugged use and long-lasting performance, the JKS Hi-Mount Steering Stabilizer Bracket offers these key benefits:

• Heavy-duty bracket relocates the steering stabilizer higher on the axle housing for superior protection against rocks, debris, and trail obstacles
• Robust stabilizer mounting stud paired with premium hardware ensures a secure, stable installation
• Weld-on design strengthens the original equipment (OE) track bar bracket, preventing fatigue and failure under extreme off-road conditions
• Durable zinc finish provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean, professional appearance
• Optional bolt-on installation available for light-duty applications, allowing easier fitment without welding
• Precision-formed from 0.25-inch thick steel for maximum rigidity and long-term durability
• Compatible with Jeep Wrangler JK models (2007–2018) and Jeep Grand Cherokee models (2005–2010)
• Requires JKS Stabilizer Tie Rod Mount (PN JKSOGS924) for 2010 and newer Jeep Wrangler JK models; recommended for 2007–2009 models

Construction & Design

The bracket is crafted from heavy-gauge 0.25-inch thick steel, engineered to withstand the stresses of off-road driving without bending or cracking. Its weld-on design reinforces the OE track bar bracket, enhancing the structural integrity of the steering assembly and extending the life of the mounting point. The corrosion-resistant zinc plating protects against rust and maintains a sleek, factory-quality finish over time.

For users seeking a less permanent solution, a bolt-on installation option is available for light-duty use, providing versatility without sacrificing durability or protection.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the JKS Hi-Mount Steering Stabilizer Bracket involves welding the bracket onto the existing track bar bracket, significantly increasing the strength and longevity of the steering stabilizer mount. Professional welding skills and equipment are recommended to ensure a secure and precise fit. For Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2010 and newer, the JKS Stabilizer Tie Rod Mount (PN JKSOGS924) is required to complete the installation and guarantee proper fitment. It is also recommended for 2007 to 2009 models to maximize performance and protection.

This bracket fits a wide range of Jeep Wrangler JK trims, including Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, Sport S, Unlimited variants, and special editions such as the 70th and 75th Anniversary models, as well as Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010.
