Steering Correction Built for the Heavier Ram 2500
The Skyjacker DA303 is a heavy duty pitman arm designed for 2003 to 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 four wheel drive trucks that have been fitted with a suspension lift. Lifting a Ram 2500 changes the angle of the steering linkage relative to the frame, which can introduce bump steer and reduce steering precision, especially noticeable on a heavier three quarter ton platform. The DA303 corrects that geometry, returning the steering linkage to a proper working angle at the taller ride height. Skyjacker manufactures the DA303 from forged steel sized for the load and stress of a 2500 series truck, and it bolts on using the factory mounting points as a direct replacement for the stock pitman arm. This part pairs with a Skyjacker suspension lift to keep the Ram 2500 tracking straight and responsive both on road and off.

About Skyjacker
Skyjacker Suspensions builds steering correction components alongside its lift kits because a taller ride height changes more than clearance, it changes steering geometry. The DA303 brings that correction to the heavier duty Ram 2500 platform for owners running a suspension lift.
