The Apex KIT380-BLK Heavy Duty ProLock Tie Rod and Drag Link Assembly is designed to replace the factory steering components with a significantly stronger setup that helps restore control, stability, and overall driving confidence. Built for 2003-2013 Ram 2500 and 3500 4WD trucks, this system is especially beneficial for owners running larger tires, lifted suspensions, or trucks that spend their lives towing and hauling. Furthermore, the conversion from the factory Y Link steering arrangement to a stronger T Link design on applicable applications helps improve steering precision while promoting more consistent tire wear. The oversized steering components are engineered to reduce flex and unwanted movement, helping the truck track straighter and respond more predictably on the road. The sleek black aluminum finish provides a clean appearance that looks right at home on both work trucks and highly customized builds. When you're looking for a steering upgrade that improves the way your truck drives every single day, this Apex system delivers the kind of improvement you immediately notice from behind the wheel. \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch4\u003e Built Around Strength Where It Matters Most \u003c\/h4\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e The Apex KIT380-BLK combines advanced steering technology with premium materials to create a steering assembly engineered for long term durability. Large diameter 7075-T6 aluminum adjusting sleeves provide exceptional strength while maintaining excellent resistance to deformation under heavy loads and harsh operating conditions. At the center of the system is the patent pending ProLock Link Connect System, which uses precision machined keyways and dedicated locking washers to mechanically prevent unwanted adjustment movement within the steering assembly. Additionally, proprietary jam nuts equipped with integrated set screws help eliminate the common problem of loosening steering components while maintaining secure alignment settings. SAE 1045 forged steel housings, SAE 4140 hot forged chromoly ball studs, and rugged metal to metal bearings work together to provide outstanding structural integrity throughout the system. A greaseable high articulation spherical bushing on the passenger side tie rod improves load distribution and articulation, helping the steering system perform more effectively in demanding environments. Combined with greaseable and pre greased components, durable CR rubber accordion boots, Grade 8 and Class 10.9 hardware, and USA made adjusting sleeves, this steering kit is engineered to deliver dependable performance mile after mile.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Fitment: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 Dodge RAM 2500\/3500 4WD \u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits 2003-2013 Ram 2500\/3500 4WD models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2013 trucks should use KIT380.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2003-2008 trucks require pitman arm upgrade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKIT380P includes the upgraded Mopar pitman arm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOE steering stabilizer clamp will not fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires compatible 2 inch stabilizer clamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot compatible with Rough Country Dual Stabilizer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual stabilizer kits may require modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEarly 2013 Ram 3500 uses T-style steering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLate 2013 Ram 3500 uses crossover steering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfirm steering style before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePSC gearbox replacement is fully compatible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  ","brand":"Apex Chassis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54192132522268,"sku":"APSKIT380-BLK","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2279\/8108\/files\/kit380_Black_aluminum_no_pit_600x_2698d5a3-89cd-4539-b7d7-118a2c015d45.webp?v=1781116679","url":"https:\/\/www.alligatorperformance.com\/products\/apex-kit380-blk","provider":"Alligator Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
