Ideal for off-road enthusiasts, towing applications, or drivers seeking enhanced steering stability, this kit helps reduce steering vibrations and feedback, resulting in a smoother, more precise feel on and off the pavement. Its robust construction and proven damping technology ensure durability and consistent performance under demanding conditions.

Key Features

This dual steering damper kit is engineered to optimize steering control and vehicle handling. Key features include:

• Two high-quality gas pressurized monotube dampers for reliable damping performance
• Mounts inline and opposing each other to enhance "on center" steering feel
• Designed for easy bolt-on installation with minimal modifications
• Robust steel construction for durability and long-lasting performance
• Helps reduce steering vibrations and feedback for improved driver confidence
• Compatible with 2013-2024 Ram 3500 models with solid axle 4WD

Construction & Design

The dampers feature a monotube design with gas pressurization, ensuring consistent damping performance and heat dissipation. The mounting hardware and brackets are engineered for strength and durability, capable of withstanding off-road conditions and heavy-duty use. The horizontal orientation of the dampers allows for optimal damping efficiency while maintaining a compact profile that fits seamlessly into the vehicle’s suspension system.

Driving Feel & Feedback
