Dual Stabilizer Upgrade for Second Generation Ram 1500
The Skyjacker SKY2218 is an ADX 2.0 dual steering stabilizer kit built for the 1998 to 2001 Ram 1500. Trucks from this generation are prone to steering shimmy as the factory stabilizer ages, especially with larger tires installed. The SKY2218 replaces the factory single stabilizer setup with two ADX 2.0 hydraulic stabilizers and a CNC machined, polished aluminum bracket kit, restoring tight, confident steering control.
Key Features
- Dual ADX 2.0 hydraulic steering stabilizers for maximum damping control
- CNC machined, polished aluminum bracket kit included with SKY2218
- Twin tube hydraulic design in each stabilizer reduces shimmy and wander
- Bolts to factory mounting points with no drilling or cutting
- Reduces driver fatigue by cutting steering effort at highway speed
- Backed by Skyjacker's limited lifetime warranty
