Product Description

The Skyjacker 7218 Hydro 7000 Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit delivers maximum steering control for 1998-2002 Dodge Ram trucks equipped with 4-inch or greater suspension lifts and oversized tires. Unlike single stabilizer kits, the dual configuration provides double the damping force by mounting two Hydro 7000 stabilizers in parallel between the frame and both tie rod ends. This dramatically improves steering stability, especially on lifted trucks running 35-inch or larger tires where the additional unsprung weight and altered steering geometry can create dangerous handling characteristics. The dual stabilizers work together to eliminate the notorious "death wobble" or shimmy that plagues lifted solid axle trucks, dampen out highway harshness, and restore confident control back into the driver's hands.

Each Hydro 7000 stabilizer features velocity-sensitive valving that automatically adjusts damping force based on steering input speed, providing firm resistance to rapid movements (like hitting a pothole or rock) while remaining compliant during smooth steering transitions. Constructed from durable steel with white powder-coat finish and signature red protective boots, the 7218 stabilizers deliver long-lasting performance in harsh off-road and winter conditions. The boots shield the internal components from dirt, mud, road salt, and debris that could compromise damping performance or reduce service life. Beyond improved steering control, the dual stabilizers significantly reduce driver fatigue by minimizing the physical strength required to guide larger, heavier tires both on and off the road, protecting steering linkage components from premature wear, and helping maintain a straight path through rocky terrain.

This dual stabilizer kit is specifically designed for 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 4WD trucks equipped with 4-inch or greater suspension lifts. Important note: This kit requires at least a 4-inch lift for proper clearance and geometry - it will NOT fit trucks at stock ride height or with lifts under 4 inches. The complete kit includes both Hydro 7000 stabilizers, tie rod mounting brackets for both sides, frame mounting bracket, and all necessary hardware for a bolt-on installation. Professional installation is recommended as the factory single stabilizer must be removed and replaced with the dual configuration. An alignment check is recommended after installation to ensure proper steering geometry. For trucks running extreme lifts (8+ inches) or very large tires (40+ inches), this dual stabilizer setup is considered essential for safe on-road driving. Backed by Skyjacker's limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, the 7218 Hydro 7000 Dual Kit represents over 45 years of suspension engineering excellence and continues to be one of the most popular steering stabilizer upgrades for lifted Dodge Ram trucks.
