Apex Chassis KIT180 Extreme Duty Tie Rod & Drag Link

Enhance the steering in your 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD with the Apex Chassis KIT180 Extreme Duty Tie Rod & Drag Link from XDP. This direct replacement extreme duty Tie Rod and Drag Link assembly replaces your underperforming OE steering. Oversized tie rod and drag link ends, connected by massive DOM tubes, eliminates death wobble and tightens up steering under the most extreme conditions. Weak adjusting sleeves are replaced via tie rod and drag link ends threading directly into the connecting rods, secured by jam nuts and proprietary ninja lock-washers.

Note: This KIT180 fits 3rd Gen (2003-2008) trucks with a replacement pitman arm from the 2009-2013 trucks.
The OE Steering Stabilizer Clamp will not fit this tie rod. Requires Steering Stabilizer Clamp DC154 (Standard) or DC151 (Fox) for mount in center tie rod, or other suitable 1.75" ID clamp.
Not compatible with 'high mount' stabilizer systems.
Dodge note regarding dual stabilizers kits: Due to the oversized tie rod ends, modifications may need to be made to dual stabilizer kit, tie rod end brackets to fit.
Some Late-Production Year 2013 Ram Trucks Came With Crossover Steering (2014+ design). Use the Crossover (Drag Link Connects To The Passenger Side Knuckle, NOT The Tie Rod) KIT185 for 2013.5+ Rams with this setup.
