  • Performance purpose: specifically engineered to greatly reduce wheel hop and axle wrap under hard acceleration, towing demands, and lifted-rig power delivery.
  • Greaseable & rebuildable joints: greaseable and rebuildable heim joints ensure long-lasting performance and easier maintenance over the life of the truck.
  • Adjustable length: adjustable length design accommodates both stock height and lifted applications, helping you dial in the right stance and clearance.
  • Durability & finish: heavy-duty construction with polyurethane bushings and a powder-coated finish for durability and corrosion resistance in harsh conditions.

This upgrade is a practical, long-term enhancement that suits both stock and lifted Dodge Ram 3500 setups.
