Get the top - quality drag link for your 2005+ Ford F - Series with 6.0L, 6.4L, or 6.7L Powerstroke engine. This drag link is machined to keep your factory steering stabilizer and is also compatible with most aftermarket stabilizers using a Synergy 4050 - 50 stabilizer clamp. It's bent to avoid clearance issues and knocking. Part number: 8600 - 01. Key features include improved strength and steering feel, a more direct road connection, Synergy HD Metal on Metal Tie Rod Ends that are stronger and more durable, zerk - fitted and serviceable tie rod ends, vehicle - adjustable design, bend for suspension articulation clearance, compatibility with stock wheels and tires with proper adjustment, retention of the stock steering stabilizer, and elimination of drag link flop. It comes with a Ford Super Duty HD Drag Link, 4152 - L Ford Super Duty pitman arm tie rod end, 4153 - L Ford Super Duty single plane tie rod end, 3622 - 10 - 14 - PL Adjuster sleeve, and 2 pinch bolts and hardware. The max extended length is 45' and the min collapsed length is 42.625'.

Using this drag link is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is a 2005+ Ford F - Series with a 6.0L, 6.4L, or 6.7L Powerstroke engine. Install it according to the included instructions. When it comes to maintenance, use Synergy High - Performance Grease (4119) for all tie rod ends and Synergy Premium Copper Infused Anti - Seize for all threaded components. If you have a Ford F - 450 or F - 550, at full suspension compression, the drag link might touch the outer plastic protective sleeve of the stabilizer. To avoid this, run 1' of bump stop spacing, but if you're using a tie rod - mounted steering stabilizer, you don't need the bump stop spacing. Also, keep in mind the replacement tie rod ends: drivers side is 4152 - L and passenger side is 4153 - L. It's backwards compatible with the stock tie rod, and while the Synergy tie rod (8602 - 01) is recommended for Ford F - 250/F - 350, it's not required.
