Synergy 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 Heavy Duty Steering Kit
The Synergy 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500 Heavy Duty Steering Kit is a heavy duty bolt-on replacement for the stock steering that requires no drilling or reaming! Updating it to the factory T-style steering design eliminates the toe change common to the old Y-style kits, without the bump-steer "crossover" steering tends to produce. We use low misalignment tie rod end boots on our heavy duty tie rod ends to prevent the dead zone in your steering that creates the unwanted tie rod "flop". USA made 1.5" x .250 wall and 1.75 x .188 wall DOM tubing is used to prevent bending or breaking, giving you the confidence to cruise, haul, and wheel wherever you go. For the strongest, most reliable upgrade in steering feel, the complete kit is offered with the Synergy Heavy Duty Tie Rod, Drag Link, and the choice of either a single Synergy Tuned Fox IFP Stabilizer or Dual Stabilizer shock(s).
