Description
We need to be honest with ourselves as enthusiasts and owners, we're hard on our trucks. We demand performance not only in daily driven conditions, but towing, off-roading, performance and racing. There's nothing wrong with that. We'd agree that one of the most critical pieces of all disciplines is the ability to steer and control the truck. Kryptonite is one of those companies you can rely on to help keep you driving the right path.Let's talk steering for a minute. From 2003 into 2008, Dodge Rams featured Y-Style steering. At this point, most people are aware of the drawbacks of that system. As the suspension cycles, both front tires are allowed changes in toe angle separate from each other. Add additional ride height, mileage, bigger tires, time and wear, and the effects of the toe changes grow exponentially. You'll experience vague steering feedback, abnormal tire wear, wandering drivability and in extreme cases the dreaded "death wobble." Eventually, in late 2008, Dodge stepped in with their fix for the control deficiencies. Their solution was a T-Style steering setup. While it did stabilize the steering in the Ram, there was symptomatic bump steer and in lifted applications, it's just not as stable as it needs to be.Enter Kryptonite's Death Grip Steering Kit. Featuring a robust 2" outer diameter bar crafted from Solid 7075 Aluminum and 2" drag link from the same solid 7075 aluminum. While the old school Y-Style steering setup had good geometry and the T-Style strength and stability, Kryptonite’s Death Grip's construction carries benefits of both styles though adjustability and robust construction like all Kryptonite products. This kit was designed for maximum durability and adjustability with the added bonus of being able to do so while installed on the vehicle. This versatile steering kit will allow for correct steering wheel position and tire alignment at any ride height from stock clear to a 6" lift. The solid bar design maintains straight tracking and drivability, promoting less wander and a more positive steering feel. Serviceable bearings with grease zerks are at all pivot points, allowing you to grease and maintain them so you can enjoy the benefits of this kit for years to come. This steering system utilizes Kryptonite's unique "Death Grip Tapered Jam Nut System". This is a revolutionary way to ensure a secure fit with no loss of adjustability. This Complete Steering System is designed specifically for heavy-duty use, it will handle the toughest work that you can throw at it while delivering excellent performance. This kit has a durable Black Powder Coat Finish to resist corrosion and maintain performance integrity while giving off a rugged and performance look.

About Kryptonite Products

Are you interested in replacing and upgrading your steering and suspension for the absolute last time with a product that will not only last as long as the rest of your truck, but also improve the suspension and steering feel? Kryptonite products are over-engineered, made in the USA products and most are even backed by a lifetime warranty. The Kryptonite No Fine Print Lifetime Warranty specifically states "Kryptonite steering and suspension components are warrantied for life to their original purchaser. This warranty is against any manufacturer defects, premature wear or breakage. Race it, jump it, off road it, wreck it, lift it, lower it, sled pull it, I think you get it? We dont care. If you can break it we will replace it." That's a pretty bold statement and would require a company that builds a solid product to offer it and still be in business.
