30. 2003-2012 RADS DODGE RAM 2500 & 3500 STEERING SYSTEM REBUILDABLE ADJUSTABLE UPGRADE
RADS= REBUILDABLE ADJUSTABLE DODGE STEERING
Heads up! Minimum 3 week lead time as of 9-1-25. By placing the order you will get on the back log list. It is marked in stock to allow you to be able get on the back log list.
Finally the steering kit every Ram owner has been waiting for! Proper geometry with rebuildable joints that you can easily tighten up in minutes as they get loose! Yes this kit costs more, but that is due to USA made with superior materials and joints. This is literally the best and the last steering kit you will ever need to buy. We make no money after the sale, every other company gets to sell their cheap joints to you every 30k miles and you will need another alignment again.
Our steering was designed to keep OEM geometry which lots of people think it's bad, but in truth the T style is really good the joints just wear out fast. With keeping the OEM geometry, you have less chances to get death wobble or a dead spot in the steering wheel.
Features include:
- Drag link and Tie rod is USA 1.5" DOM, with thick 3/8” wall tube.
- Custom made 4340 Heat treated Chromoly Joints are adjustable to take up slack as the joints wear in to keep a new steering feel all the time. Not overseas ones that wear out in 30k miles like other aftermarket brands. These joints have been used in the Military and Nascar for over 20 years.
- Rebuildable joints, IF you actually ever need to rebuild the joints, you won't even need a new alignment after rebuild.
- OEM Geometry, the reason nobody does this is because it is too hard to manufacture with good materials. By keeping the original geometry this means you don’t get the normal aftermarket dead spot in steering wheel and tie rod flop. Yes, we mention this a lot and for a good reason. Our passenger Tie rod is gated like the original joint. This is huge to keep a good feeling in steering wheel and not have to use rubber rock crawler style wobble stoppers like other aftermarket companies do.
- Joint starts to get slack in it? No problem, just tighten it up with the adjusting cap. You will be good as new again.
- Alignments can be done in the truck by one person!
- NO JAM NUTS. Complete game changer here. Jam nuts are great if you get to the required torque of 200ft lbs. But most people only can get them to 90ft lbs and they come loose causing premature failure, even with the failed Japanese's assassin washer.
- USA made (nobody else can say that)
- Heavy Duty Gloss Black Powder coat to withstand winter (as much as possible)
- Will fix Death Wobble (see tech section on death wobble)
- Fits 03-13 2500 and 03-12 3500.
- Ships in a rifle case you get to keep (free shipping isn't actually free, we just cover it the cost for you, on average it costs $105 due to the weight)
* NOTES (and the ugly truth) *
Steering alone will help but not fix other steering related issues if you have these items bad so, Please check them prior purchase or install.
- track bar/bushings (don't do just replace with cheap bushings, it is a band aid at best)
- 14mm bolts on 03-07 track bars (need 16mm from 08-13)
- bad ball joints (or moog, same thing)
- worn out steering box
- bad lift geometry
- bad alignment
- super worn out mud tires, or China tires.
- massive negative wheels with little tires.
- fits 4wd only

Was very surprised at the excellent packaging, anything with a dual purpose is awesome. Especially since it’s a rifle case they ship the parts in. Now onto the goods. This is the beefiest drag link and tie rod I have ever seen. This is going to give me years of reliable steering. Great job guys! Thank you Chris and Team for putting something Bad Axe on the market. If your on the fence hop on over to the Bad Axe side and don’t look back
Awesome service got my truck up and running thanks again very much
Very Very high quality, the whole setup is exactly what I wanted. I switched from the stock bar and a thuren drag link. The thuren piece is beefy but adjustability is a real pain, this kit allows more adjustment and the track bar is pretty beefy as well. I really like the coatings applied and the adjusters are easy to use. It took about two hours taking my time to pop out the old bars and install these, it was a very easy install. Steering was instantly more solid.
Excellent product. Super beefy and well made
These parts are EVERYTHING you would expect to see for perfect peace of mind. Perfect geometry, serviceable, and an insane level of strength engineered in. I ordered this kit after my previous aftermarket tie rod nut fell off leaving me stranded. I explained my situation to Chris and he shipped out a kit right away. I double checked with him that no special tools were needed, gathered my tools and set off to my truck, four hours away in azero cell service part of New Mexico. After removing my old tie rod and drag link the Bad Axe parts went on smoothly. Even the roadside alignment was a breeze thanks to the large adjustment collars. Last plus I noticed while driving out was that my bump steer was gone. Thank you Chris!
