PMF Suspension Heavy Duty Single Piece Draglink 05-25 Ford SuperDuty

The factory draglink on the 2005+ trucks is a known weak link in the steering system. There are a few causes for the weakness, but the majority lies within the design of the split collar adjusting sleeve. This allows the rod to flex when put under a load caused by road variations or steering input. Larger than stock tires and lift kits add even more stress to this part. Upgrading to this single piece unit will eliminate ALL flex and tighten up the feel of your steering wheel. This is an upgrade that you can notice a night and day difference in the second you open the box and lay the two side by side. PMF uses a heavy wall, single piece DOM tube and CNC single point thread the bar for the strongest possible threads.  You won't find any welded-in tube adapters on this bar, so no concern of a weld failing, resulting in a loss of control of your vehicle.

This draglink includes PMF’s Offroad Tie Rod upgrade, which provides significantly greater strength and durability than the factory-style setup. It utilizes a massive 1" FK heim joint along with PMF custom-machined 17-4 stainless steel tapered adapters that fit the OEM pitman arm taper while incorporating an integrated safety washer design for added security.

Also included is a custom high-strength Grade 9 mounting bolt to ensure maximum retention under heavy load and off-road use. Because this setup uses a heim joint, some states may not allow heims in steering systems for on-road applications, so this option is considered an off-road-use component. If your local regulations allow heim-style steering components, this is PMF’s recommended configuration for strength and long-term durability.

The draglink does not include the passenger side lower tie rod that connects to the steering knuckle because you can transfer your existing tie rod to the new draglink. However, if your tie rod is worn, we'd recommend adding the optional XRF Platinum HD tie rod so you have a completely new draglink.

The factory steering stabilizer mounts to the factory draglink via a hole in your draglink that this bar does not include as it would be impossible to align the hole since the entire bar spins to be adjusted for length. Because of this, in order to utilize a steering stabilizer, you have a couple of options to consider. First, if you're running an aftermarket dual steering stabilizer kit that does not utilize this mounting provision, you have nothing to worry about. Otherwise, you can reconnect your existing stabilizer by adding the optional FOX Universal Mounting Clamp that has a 1.5" inside diameter and clamps into place anywhere on the bar, sandwiching it in place.
