Got a Dodge Ram with that sloppy steering feel? Yeah, we know the struggle. The factory box just can’t keep up, and that “Dodge steering wander” is enough to drive anyone crazy. That’s why we built the BIG BORE XD Steering Gear—a heavy-duty, brand-new replacement that bolts right in and fixes the problem for good.

We took inspiration from Mopar’s “Big Box” and made it even better. Bigger bearings, beefier internals, and zero core charge. Just swap it in, hook up your factory lines and Pitman arm, and you’re back on the road with steering that feels tight and confident.

My stock box was not

"My stock box was not really loose,but I had just upgraded to the 4th gen steering linkage and just decided to do it all. This steering gear is awesome! My 2500 handles almost as good as my wife's 2017 Rebel 1/2 ton."
