Description
Synergy Heavy Duty Front Sway Bar Links 3.5-6″ Lift 11 3/8″ Extended, 10 7/16″ Collapsed for 1998.5-2013 Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500

Synergy Heavy Duty Sway Bar Links 3.5-6 Lift

Part: 8515-12

Factory sway bar links on Ram trucks allow excessive body roll and limit articulation during off-road travel. These Synergy Heavy Duty Sway Bar Links replace the flexible factory bushings with a spherical bushing and sealed tie rod end for direct, low-friction load transfer. The 1020 CR solid construction and zinc plating resist bending and corrosion while maintaining full suspension movement. These links provide up to 30 degrees of bind free misalignment, preventing preload during articulation.

Features

• 1020 CR Solid Steel: Resists bending and deflection under heavy load.
• Spherical Bushing: Provides 30 degrees of bind free articulation.
• Sealed Tie Rod End: Direct linkages improve sway control and reduce play.
• Zinc Plating: Enhanced corrosion resistance for long service life.
• Stem Top Adapter: Eliminates factory pancake bushing failure point.
• Simple Bolt-On Install: Installs using basic hand tools.

Specifications

• Lift Range: 3.5 to 6 inches
• Minimum Collapsed Length: 10 7/16 inches
• Maximum Extended Length: 11 3/8 inches
• Material: 1020 CR solid steel
• Finish: Clear zinc plated
• Misalignment Capability: 30 degrees

Fitment

• 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega-cab 4×4
• 1998.5-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 4×4

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these replace the factory pancake style bushings?
Yes. The stem adapter eliminates the factory bushing that commonly fails.

Are they compatible with stock steering?
Yes, except some early and Y-link trucks where steering clearance notes apply.

Do they require welding?
No. Installation is fully bolt on.

Do these fit 3.5-6 inch lifts only?
Yes. For 0-3 inch lifts use the dedicated Synergy link kit.

Do I need an alignment after installation?
No. Links do not change steering geometry, but checking alignment is always recommended after suspension work.
