8" Lift shown with custom powder coat and polished face plates 4-Link Arms.

We are happy to offer our newest suspension lift! It is our “Identity 4-Link” series. This new floating cradle Long Link System series is the perfect balance between those that need an extremely rugged suspension lift, yet still want it to represent the Ultimate in Style! 

Do you want to improve your ride quality and looks at the same time?  We have the solution just for you! We are happy to release our newest generation of suspension lifts! Our NEW 4-Link series. This new new badged drop is perfect for those that need an extremely rugged suspension lift, yet still want it to be stylish!

We address everything in this kit. Our coils are designed to mimic the factory specs and provide a great ride. Our rear blocks have the bumpstop pads designed in for the heavy hauling these trucks were designed for. Our New Identity Series drop brackets for the radius are the beefiest in the industry!

Our 4 link kit is built 100% in house using only the finest materials. CAD designed and Plasma cut, we fabricate the mounts and arms from 1/4" U.S. steel. These are EXTREMELY heavy duty. Gusseted at the axle mount and MIG welded throughout, these can handle anything you can dish out. This lift features our signature, Patent Pending design. 

 

RADIUS DROP BRACKET

We went about it a little different. Instead of the drop bracket going up inside the factory radius arm pocket, we designed ours to mount uniquely outside. That adds width and strength. These features cost more to produce, but the end result is unmatched. All our steel is U.S. made and is at least ¼”, and in some instances even larger.  

IDENTITY SERIES 4-Link ARMS

Our heavy duty 1.25" Heim Joints (largest used in the industry) are super strong joints and will hold up to years of punishment. The outer shell is a single forged piece. The inner flex ball is made from 8620 tool steel and rides on high quality polyurethane bushings, so you get the best of both worlds. Heavy-duty, hardened steel washers hold the joint together. Our joints are super flexible. A threaded grease fitting is provided for lubrication. The flex ball is drilled for cross lubrication flow from the shell to the link mount bolt. Each joint includes a jam nut!

DUAL STEERING STABILIZERS

There is no consensus regarding single versus dual steering stabilizers. But lifted truck projects are usually accompanied with larger tire sizes.

Larger tires bring a variety of physical demands for your Dodge 2500 Heavy Duty Truck

Vibration:
Vibration is the primary demand to focus on. The original excellent suspension on your 2500 can accommodate most of that vibration. But if you improve the handling and ride quality by dampening the added side to side motion of your tires that is the first place to address. Shock absorbers dampen the up and down movement of your Heavy Duty and they can also dampen the side movement of your larger tires.

Dual Versus Single:
Dual stabilizers dampen the vibrations better than a SINGLE shock tied to one side in OUR opinion. Is the improvement worth the added cost? 

Of course it depends on several subjective INFORMED decisions. If your Lifted Heavy Duty is actually a daily driver then the performance improvement may not be required. But if you plan to build your 2500 with the capability of HEAVY OFF ROADING even if you don't go there then DUAL is likely your best investment. The cost ADDER is actually not significant compared to the value of your 2500. If your lifted truck has tires 35" or larger you are an excellent candidate to investigate a Steering Stabilizer even if Off Road is not a concern!. 

And then there is the subjective issue of STYLE! What did you want to look at when you see the front of your 2500? Stryker's goal is to provide you with RUGGED STYLE™! We are committed to providing performance and style.

Our steering stabilizer provides better handling and control of oversized tires by reducing bump steer and front end vibration. It also reduces ball joint and tie rod wear and tear, and is an easy bolt on installation! Just add the Lift Kit and separately add the dual steering stabilizer to your cart before checkout! Features: CAD Designed and laser cut from 1/4" and 3/8" steel Reduces bump steer and front end vibration Reduces ball joint and tie rod wear and tear Simply and easy bolt-on installation Comes with our Level 2 Shock as standard.  Made in the USA!

8" Lift Height EXTENDED SWAY BAR END LINKS - Add it to your cart to complete your 8" Lift Kit!

Stryker Off Road Design is proud to bring you our new 1" OD billet aluminum heavy duty EXTENDED sway bar end links for the 2003 to 2022 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500!

This kit will UPGRADE your factory end links to our new Double Adjustable Heim Jointed Extended Sway Bar End Links. They fit 

HIGH ARTICULATION

Heim joints used with appropriate alignment spacers swivel much further without the risk of breaking. The bearing is very unlikely to pull out in this design because all of the force is in the XY axis. There are virtually NO 90 degrees (right angle) forces.

This kit will upgrade the original ball-jointed, studded factory end links, which bind easy and are prone to breakage as the suspension cycles.

These will provide GREATER FLEXIBILITY and DURABILITY while maintaining the proper angles for OPTIMAL Ride Quality.

Ball Joint Disadvantages in End Link Designs.

LIMITED ROTATION
The OEM ball joints can limit active alignment required in End Link applications.

PULL OUT STRENGTH
The stud of a ball joint can pull out of the housing easier than the bearing on a Heim joint in End Link applications.

Of course our extended sway bar end links will also improve the appearance of your 2500 3500 Heavy Duty suspension with Stryker's Rugged Style.

Stryker Off Road Designs' REAR FABRICATED Control Arms for Dodge Ram 2500 heavy duty trucks!  These are CAD designed craftsman Welded fabricated control arms. They are designed to fit the front of a Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with 7" to 10".   The 7" to 10" is similar to the stock arm length and helps re-center the axle. Our ARMS are guaranteed to perfectly fit your year model truck (year models have different sizes of hardware, requiring different inner diameter sleeves for optimal fitment).   Some lower cost competitors may use cheaper rolled sleeves with a seem can split apart, due to stress from movement (see comparison images), shredding your bushings from within!  Many competitors even use lower cost Rubber Bushings. These arms are the precise length to maintain your year axel geometry for stock to 6" and 7" to 10" lift height - Each arm is jig-built, using precisely measured materials, and is inspected before being shipped. Buy with confidence! That's correct, Stryker also designs and manufacturers a Fabricated control arm to match your truck. In OUR world of Rugged Style ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL TRUCKS!  This is for a set of 4, includes 2 REAR uppers and 2 REAR lowers

Stryker's 8" Dodge 2500 RAD Identity Series also offers optional badging kits for the rear control arms.

The Identity Badging does require drilling, but not all fasteners pass thru the faceplate. Many are decorative so installing these are not that hard. Just provide labor and a drill! 

Our “RAD” series (Radius Arm) Badge Series line is the perfect style add on to give your truck that rugged suspension lift look! In keeping with our entire Identity line, these are not steel, but 6061 aluminum, laser cut, coated, then CNC milled, then clear coated! A lengthy process, but one that separates us from the rest....and will do so for your truck as well.
