Synergy Manufacturing - Drag Link & Tie Rod Steering Kit

Transform your Ram’s steering feel and durability with the Synergy Heavy Duty Steering Kit—an American-made, bolt-on upgrade that installs with zero drilling or reaming required. This system updates your truck to the modern T-style steering geometry, eliminating the excessive toe change found in the old Y-style setup without introducing the bump-steer issues common in crossover conversions.

To ensure precise, predictable steering, we use our innovative single plane tie rod ends that stop unwanted tie-rod “flop” and remove the sloppy dead zone many Ram owners struggle with. Fully welded, heavy duty construction delivers exceptional strength to resist bending whether you're daily driving, hauling heavy loads, or exploring rugged terrain.

Complete the kit: For the ultimate steering upgrade, pick up our Heavy Duty Adjustable Track Bar engineered for confidence on and off road.

Fitment:

• 03-13 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4, 03-12 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4, 06-08 Dodge Ram 1500 Megacab 4x4

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 verify what style you have before ordering.

Benefits:

• Heavy Duty Drag Link is precision bent to clear factory axle brackets and is compatible from stock to 4" lifted vehicles; Vehicles over 4" of lift will require a drop pitman arm for compatibility

• Engineered for maximum articulation, the heavy duty tie rod is bent to clear sway bar mounts, differential cover, and steering pitman arm
• Synergy Heavy Duty Tie Rod Ends are larger, stronger, and more durable than stock and include grease fittings and dust boots with retaining rings for easy maintenance
• Single plane tie rod ends eliminate unwanted drag link or tie rod movement and prevent the dead spot when changing direction
• Kit is fully adjustable while installed in the vehicle, thanks to our Double Adjuster Sleeve and Pinch Bolt Assembly
• Both the tie rod and drag link are fully sealed from the elements thanks to our Forged Pinch Bolt housings and complete welded assembly
• Provides 2" of additional ground clearance from stock while adding critical strength
• Pinch bolt design eliminates jam nuts, preventing loosening and alignment creep
