Take control of your steering with the Synergy 1994-1999 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Steering Kit. This bolt-on upgrade is a direct replacement for the factory setup—no drilling, no reaming, no compromises. By converting to a T-style steering layout, it eliminates the unpredictable toe change of the original Y-style design, without introducing bump steer like crossover systems can.

Built for serious strength, this kit features 1.5″ USA-made DOM tubing and Synergy’s proven heavy duty tie rod ends with an updated single plane tie rod end—designed specifically to prevent tie rod flop and maintain a tight, responsive steering feel. For maximum performance, the complete kit is available with an optional Synergy Tuned Fox IFP steering stabilizer. Whether you’re towing, daily driving, or tackling the trail, this is the steering upgrade your Ram deserves.
Hot tip: Complete your front end upgrade with our heavy duty adjustable track bar, converting it to the updated bushing style and giving your truck the refresh it deserves!
