The Fox 803-02-039 is a universal aluminum tie rod mounting clamp sized for a 1-5/8 inch tie rod. It lets you bolt a Fox steering stabilizer to the tie rod instead of the factory axle-side bracket, which is the usual way to relocate a stabilizer after a steering or lift upgrade. The manufacturer describes its universal clamp line as corrosion resistant, though its published page covers the 1-3/8 inch sibling part, so confirm the finish with the manufacturer before relying on it. Compared with improvised brackets or generic clamps, a purpose-built Fox clamp is designed around the stabilizer's mounting geometry, and that matters when you are trying to keep a stabilizer clear of tight linkage. Search terms this part targets include 1 5/8 tie rod stabilizer clamp, Fox ATS tie rod relocation, and Jeep steering stabilizer relocation clamp.
Fitment is where buyers need to be careful. Owners on user forums report using this clamp with Fox ATS and TS stabilizers on Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator builds, and they note that the largest clamp Fox's ATS line offers is 1-5/8 inch, so larger aftermarket tie rods need a different clamp and bolt. Stock tie rod diameter is reported inconsistently across forum threads, with some owners citing 1-5/8 inch and others 1-3/8 inch, so measure your tie rod before ordering. Installation is a bolt-on job: per user forum reports, a relocation of this type takes roughly half an hour with the vehicle on the ground, and it typically requires a longer replacement bolt on the track bar side.
No, not as a direct fit. Owners on user forums report that the largest clamp Fox's ATS stabilizer line offers is 1-5/8 inch, so a 1-3/4 inch tie rod needs a different clamp, and one owner used a 1/2-20 x 1.5 inch flat head bolt with a third-party clamp.
Owners on user forums report that relocating an ATS stabilizer to the tie rod requires a longer replacement bolt for the track bar mount, and that the stabilizer's original bracket is removed in the process.
User forums report that a larger aftermarket clamp contacted the drag link at full bump with full steering lock on a JL, and owners hoping the smaller Fox clamp would clear had not yet confirmed it. Check clearance at full lock and full compression after installing.
Per user forum reports, this is a manageable weekend-level job: the clamp mounts on the tie rod, the stabilizer attaches to the clamp, and a longer bolt replaces the original track bar mount bolt. Verify your tie rod diameter first, since the clamp only fits 1-5/8 inch tubing. Expect the factory bolts to be stubborn, as one owner could not break them loose without effort. After installation, check drag link and track bar clearance through full bump and full lock, and confirm with the manufacturer whether an alignment is needed afterward.
