A direct replacement extreme duty Tie Rod assembly to replace your underperforming OE steering. Oversized tie rod ends, connected by a massive Polished Aluminum adjusting sleeves, eliminates death wobble and tightens up steering under the most extreme conditions. Weak adjusting sleeve is replaced via tie rod ends threading directly into the connecting rods, secured by jam nuts and our New ProLock washers.

Notes:

  • Your OE Steering Stabilizer Clamp will not fit this Tie Rod. Requires Steering Stabilizer Clamp DC1.75-B(black universal clamp) or DC1.75-Z(zinc universal clamp) for mount in center tie rod, or other suitable 1.75 inch ID clamp for our steel equipment. If you choose the aluminum kits you'll need a DC2.0-Z (zinc universal clamp), DC2.0-B (black universal clamp) or a 2 inch ID clamp.
  • Not compatible with Rough Country dual steering stabilizer.
  • Dodge note regarding dual stabilizers kits: Due to our oversized tie rod ends, modifications may need to be made to dual stabilizer kit, tie rod end brackets to fit.

This will change the way your vehicle drives forever!

What It Fits:

  • Dodge Ram 2500 (2003-2013) 4WD
  • Dodge Ram 3500 (2003-2013) 4WD

Note: This will product will fit a Third Generation Ram 2500/3500 (2003 - 2008) with an upgraded pitman arm Only with the full T Link upgrade. See APEX KIT180.

The Special Sauce:

  • Housing
    • SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
    • CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
  • Ball Studs
    • SAE 4140 Hot Forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
    • Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
    • Rolled Threads: Made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
    • Step Threads: Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).
  • Bearing Design
    • Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing
  • Boots
    • CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold.
    • Accordion Boot: Ideal for high-articulation components, more flexibility means longer life.
  • Finish
    • Polished Aluminum: Highly polished, raw aluminum
    • Black Aluminum and DOM Steel: Powder coated black
  • Hardware
    • Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
    • Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.
  • Adjusting Rods
    • Tie Rod: 1.75 inch DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Heavy walled steel tubing provides the tightest most robust steering on the market.
    • Tie Rod: 1.75 inch 7075-T6 Aluminum Rod: The best aluminum available for this application. Extremely durable but has some flex and memory if you really bash it into something.
  • Lubrication
    • Pre Threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
    • Greaseable: Because it should be.
    • Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
    • Gull Winged Grease Grooves: Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
    • Zerk Fittings: Included for every application.

Special Features:

  • ProLock Link Connect System (TM): Exclusively from APEX - This patent pending system utilizes a precision keyway cut into the threads of our tie rod and drag link ends, and a pre-bent keyway washer that locks onto the wrench flats of the connecting rod to completely stop any tie rod rotation once the jam nut is set. The jam nut, once torqued to spec, is then locked in place with 3 set-screws inset into the jam nut.
  • Reversible Drag Link: Another APEX Innovation: In some lifted or aftermarket applications the pitman arm end of the drag link is flipped over causing difficulties with mounting the steering stabilizer into the tapered hole on the drag link end. To solve this we have drilled the hole out straight and provided a reversible stainless steel taper sleeve so the steering stabilizer can be mounted from either side.
  • Greaseable, High Articulation Spherical Bushing: For extreme durability our passenger side tie rod is fitted with an oversized greaseable high articulation spherical bushing. This allows for maximum articulation and load disbursement, for better performance, and longer life.
  • Minimum Engagement Mark on Drag Link End Threads: If this mark in the thread of the drag link is showing it means you are beyond the safe engagement of threads into the adjusting sleeve. You may be lifted too high and need to switch to a flip kit or you may need to equal out the adjusting sleeve between the two ends.

Have bought a few of these over the last handful of years
Color: Red
Best toy outside of Ghonuts for heavy chewers. Even outlasts the most durable Kongs. I'd say we get about four months before our dog starts really making a dent in it and the size of the pieces he pulls off start to become larger and I should probably replace it after about six months. It's cheap enough that replacing it that often is fine. *Important note* using squishy toys for heavy chewers is really important. They can break their teeth on hard toys like Nyla bones and things like antlers can break and cut them and damage their digestive system if they swallow the shards. It sucks because my dog loved Nyla bones and would chew off an inch a day, but I couldn't risk his teeth like that.

Finally - a tug toy my dog hasn’t destroyed!
Color: Red
This completely exceeded my expectations! My dog is roughly a year old, about 110-115lbs and a TOUGH chewer. He loved tugs toys but none of them last more than 10 minutes with him. I decided to try this because of the other reviews and price but wasn’t expecting it to last long. He’s had it almost a week and it’s still completely intact. It’s definitely heavy so it might not be best for smaller dogs but if you have a big dog/heavy chewer definitely give this a shot!

Indestructible so far
Color: Red, Color: Red
My toy destroyer has had this for almost two months now and it hasn’t taken any damage. It is big and heavy and solid. It became one of his favorites immediately and goes in and out of the house and even to bed with him. Now if only we could find a stuffy that he can’t destroy.

MY DOG'S AREN'T INTERESTED ...
Color: Red
This is a large, heavy, hard rubber toy, so is of high quality. However, it is SO heavy that neither my 60-lb. female Boxer nor my 80-lb. male Bully will 'play' with it at all. They don't even chew on it. So, although it would probably be pretty indestructible, I have no way to verify that, since neither of my dogs show any interest at all. I've tried encouraging them, by holding on one end of it and encouraging them to grab the other end, but even that didn't work. Perhaps a much larger 'giant' breed dog would enjoy it.
