Striving to produce the ultimate steering damper, working directly with KING Shocks for over a year, we came up with a great product for the Dodge Ram platform. Every brand steering damper we've ever tested, only started to function when you impact large hits, and did little to nothing to reduce small chatter and road imperfections felt through the steering wheel.

This damper is internally tuned to control every aspect of the driving experience, including help erase small road chatter feel through the steering wheel. While steering dampers in the past have been seen as an un-needed component, when it comes to handling and driving safety on the Ram Trucks platform, this damper completely changes the game and does aid in keeping the truck safe regarding Death Wobble prevention.

Notes and info regarding the design: A high quality steering damper designed for large heavy vehicles, with large tires and wider wheels, is a finicky part to design. The main issue is being able to charge the damper with the required 100psi minimum pressure, without the damper inducing too much steering push to one side. If there is less than 100psi gas charge, the damper can internally cavitate causing it to momentarily loose function, just when you need it the most. Smaller lighter vehicles can use less gas pressure.

The damper main shaft diameter used, is directly related to the amount of extra "push" the damper will give. For example a 7/8" diameter shaft damper will give 60lbs force push at 100psi. This damper with the 1/2" shaft only pushes with 19lbs of force, and with the extra tight seal head the actual push at the steering linkage is reduced even more.

Though note that even 19lbs of push can give a slight push to one side which would need to be tuned out with the alignment settings, but this is usually only a problem if using OEM offset wheels and stock more narrow tires. With less offset wheels and wider tread tires, this steering damper will normally drop right in and only a positive change will be noted.

If you have stock wheels and close to stock width tires, we suggest looking at our Fox TS/ATS steering dampers, as the have no push effect at all.

Install took literally 5 minutes with an impact. As always, King never fails to deliver with amazing products! Driving down the freeway at all speeds, I noticed a massive difference. Prior to installing the King stabilizer, I had horrible bump steer whenever I hit a pothole or imperfection. After installing the King stabilizer the bump steer is completely gone. My truck only had 30k miles when I replaced the factory stabilizer. I'm currently running 35" tires, but will be running 37's in the near future after installing the Thuren 1.5" front coil springs. I highly recommend a King steering stablilzer to anyone with any kind of handling issues that an alignment or balancing can't fix.

Install took about 15 minutes start to finish, perfect fit with factory hardware. Handling feels great running 295/65R20 KO2s.

2021 RAM 3500 Steering Stabilizer

Excellent Product. Original Steering Stabilizer was 100% shot at 57K miles. Replaced with this unit and drives like a new truck. Will be looking at shocks in the future for the same truck.

Must have for 37”+ tires

This is the second one I have purchased. I have two, so while one is being rebuilt I can have the same steering damping on my Ram Power Wagon. It’s worth every penny, especially if you spend a lot of time on rocky roads or poorly maintained roads.
