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).

Notes:

• For 03-08 trucks using the stock pitman arm, switching to the Mopar pitman arm for 08.5+ trucks is recommended if not already equipped - Mopar P/N: 68039930AA
• New single plane tie rod end - part number 4167-L - is not compatible with the metal misalignment caps (part number 4134-02)
  • If upgrading to the new single plane tie rod end on older model tie rods that include the metal caps, the opposing tie rod end will require a new poly boot part number 4131-01
  • If the cotter pin does not engage the castle nut upon install, a washer is required; Washer may not be required on all knuckles depending on casting differences and wear
• Known compatibility with aFe Power differential cover; We cannot guarantee fitment with all aftermarket diff covers
• Single stabilizer applications require the Steering Stabilizer Bracket, part number 8568-10
