Restore Precise Steering on the Lifted Ram 1500
The Skyjacker DA300 is a heavy duty pitman arm engineered for 1994 to 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 four wheel drive trucks running a suspension lift. When a Ram 1500 gets lifted, the factory pitman arm geometry changes the steering linkage angle, which can lead to bump steer and reduced steering precision. The DA300 corrects that geometry so the steering linkage returns to a proper angle relative to the lifted ride height. Skyjacker manufactures the DA300 from durable forged material to handle the stress of daily driving and off road use, and it is designed as a direct replacement for the factory pitman arm using OEM mounting points. This part is a companion component to a Skyjacker lift kit rather than a lift system on its own, correcting steering geometry that a taller suspension can otherwise disrupt.

About Skyjacker
Skyjacker Suspensions engineers lift systems and steering correction components together, recognizing that a taller ride height changes more than ground clearance. The DA300 reflects that approach, giving Ram 1500 owners a way to correct steering geometry after installing a suspension lift.
