Overview:

The Ridetech Rear StrongArms with R-Joints are engineered to eliminate wheel hop and improve rear suspension performance on Dodge and Ram 1500 trucks from 2002 through 2026. Designed as a direct replacement for factory trailing arms, these StrongArms address the common issue of deflection caused by the factory’s large rubber bushings. This upgrade is ideal for owners of stock height, lowered, or mildly lifted Ram 1500s who demand better traction, stability, and control, especially in higher horsepower applications.

By replacing the factory control arms with Ridetech’s precision-built components, drivers experience enhanced rear suspension geometry and reduced unwanted movement, resulting in improved handling and a smoother ride both on the street and the track.

Key Features:

Ridetech Rear StrongArms combine advanced materials and innovative joint technology to deliver superior performance and durability. Key features include:

• Patented R-Joint rod ends that provide low friction movement and lateral stability
• Full range articulation for consistent suspension travel without binding
• Quiet operation, eliminating the noise commonly associated with rod-end joints
• Constructed from 1.75” diameter DOM tubing with a .125” wall thickness for strength and rigidity
• Durable satin black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance
• Fixed length design for precise fitment and alignment
• Direct bolt-on replacement for factory trailing arms—no modifications required
• Compatible with 2WD and 4WD Ram 1500 models
• Manufactured in the USA to ensure quality and reliability

Construction & Design:

Each Ridetech Rear StrongArm is crafted from heavy-duty DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) tubing, measuring 1.75 inches in diameter with a robust .125-inch wall thickness. This construction provides exceptional strength and resistance to bending or flexing under load. The arms are finished with a durable satin black powder coat that protects against rust and wear, maintaining a clean, professional look over time.

The standout feature is the patented R-Joint rod ends, which combine the benefits of traditional rod ends with advanced bearing technology. These joints allow for smooth articulation in all directions while maintaining lateral stability, reducing deflection and eliminating the wheel hop often experienced with rubber bushings. This design ensures consistent suspension geometry and improved traction during acceleration and cornering.

Installation & Fitment:

Ridetech Rear StrongArms are designed as a direct replacement for the factory trailing arms on Dodge and Ram 1500 trucks from 2002 to 2026. The fixed length arms fit stock height, lowered, and mildly lifted vehicles without requiring any modifications or additional components. Installation is straightforward, utilizing existing mounting points and hardware for a hassle-free upgrade.
