Description

A direct replacement extreme duty Drag Link assembly to replace your underperforming OE drag link. Oversized drag link ends, connected by a massive DOM tube eliminates death wobble and tightens up steering under the most extreme conditions. Weak adjusting sleeves are replaced via drag link ends threading directly into the connecting rods, secured by jam nuts and our proprietary ninja lock-washers.

This will change the way your vehicle drives forever!

This kit will NOT fit wide-track models.

WHAT IT FITS:

Ford F250 Super Duty (2017-2020) 4WD (except wide track)

Ford F350 Super Duty (2017-2020) 4WD (except wide track)

THE SPECIAL SAUCE:

HOUSING

SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.

BALL STUDS

SAE 4140 hot forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
Induction Heat-Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
Rolled Threads: Are made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
Step Threads: Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).

BEARING DESIGN

Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing

BOOTS

CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for under-car applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold
Accordion Boot: Ideal for high-articulation components, more flexibility means longer life.

FINISH

E-Coat Finish: Extremely durable. Double coated. Threads are coated as well. Rugged look.

HARDWARE

Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
Castle Nut: Industry-standard where high vibration loads occur.

ADJUSTING RODS

1.65" DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Heavy walled steel tubing provides the tightest most robust steering on the market.

LUBRICATION

Pre-threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
Greaseable: Because it should be.
Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
Gull Winged Grease Grooves: Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
Zerk Fittings: Included for every application.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Ninja Washers (TM): An APEX exclusive is our Ninja Washer which is a unique method of securing the lock nut to the tube, erasing the need for lightly built adjusting tubes with ugly pinch clamps. And who doesn't want a ninja on their front end.
Reversible Drag Link: Another APEX Innovation: In some lifted or aftermarket applications the pitman arm end of the drag link is flipped over causing difficulties with mounting the steering stabilizer into the tapered hole on the drag link end. To solve this we have drilled the hole out straight and provided a reversible stainless steel taper sleeve so the steering stabilizer can be mounted from either side.
