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

Fitments:

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.
