Synergy 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 Heavy Duty Drag Link

Refresh and strengthen your Ram’s steering with the Synergy 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 Heavy Duty Drag Link. Designed to be used with our Heavy Duty Tie Rod part number 8568-21, this 100% bolt-on upgrade installs with no drilling, reaming, or modification required. Designed around the proven T-style steering geometry, the Synergy drag link and tie rod combination eliminates the unwanted toe change of the old Y-style system while avoiding the bump-steer issues that “crossover” setups can introduce.

Built from USA-made 1.5" x .250 wall DOM tubing, this drag link delivers serious strength to resist bending, flexing, and fatigue—whether you’re daily driving, towing, or hitting challenging off-road terrain. To deliver the best steering possible, we use forged single plane tie rod ends - eliminating the steering dead zone that causes traditional ends to “flop,” giving you a tighter, more predictable steering feel.

For the most complete and confidence-inspiring steering upgrade, the Synergy Heavy Duty Steering Kit pairs this drag link with our matching heavy duty tie rod and your choice of a single Synergy Tuned Fox IFP stabilizer or dual stabilizers.

Warning: 2013 Dodge Ram 3500's were a split year for production. The early model trucks use the T-style steering (drag link is attached to the tie rod), Synergy Part # 8525-01. The late model trucks use cross over steering (drag link is attached to the knuckle and does not attach to the tie rod), Synergy Part # 8725-01. 

Please check what style you have before ordering.
