Borgeson has
re-manufactured a modern Delphi integral power steering gearbox to
upgrade the steering in your 2003-2008 Dodge pick-up. The Borgeson
“Dodge Box” offers a larger piston diameter for more available power
assist and a modern variable valve that allows for stable highway
driving and effortless parking and maneuvering. The Borgeson “Dodge
Box” will bolt directly to the stock mounting location. The "Dodge
Box" includes a replacement pitman arm, and hose adapters for a
complete bolt-in installation. Fits all 2003-2008 Dodge Full Size
4x4 trucks.
This fits all 4x4 models (1500, 2500, and 3500) from 2003 to 2008. This box is labeled as not for use with a suspension lift that requires a drop pitman arm, which would be anything over 3 inches of lift. If you do have a larger lift where you are using a track bar drop bracket, you can get around this issue by using an aftermarket steering setup that doesn't use tie rods, such as Thuren Fabrication's crossover steering kit or his HD drag link. This would allow you to drill the new pitman arm out to a straight hole instead of a tapered hole, and then you could mount the steering below the pitman arm. Aftermarket pitman arms will not fit this gear box. However, only Dodge Off Road has the right drop pitman arm for your lifted 3rd gen. We spent a lot of time researching the sector shaft size and several pitman arm sizes, and found one that will allow you to bolt your stock steering right up. Please email us for more information on ordering this pitman arm with your Borgeson box. As with the 2nd gen Dodge box, this upgrade goes best with a new Borgeson steering shaft, but your stock steering shaft will bolt up to this box without any modifications (only the 2nd gen boxes need to be modified for this to work, not the 3rd gen boxes). |

Full size Dodge Pickups have a type of steering coupler that has shown signs of wear in as little as 4000 miles, depending on how the truck is used. This wear causes play in the truck’s steering. It’s even more noticeable if your truck is used for plowing, towing or if oversized tires have been installed. Replacing the worn steering shaft with another OEM shaft only gives you a temporary fix. The Borgeson steering shaft assembly replaces the loose OEM parts with precision needle bearing u-joints and a telescopic shaft. Don't just replace when you can upgrade! This steering shaft is a great addition to any 3rd gen Ram. Those of you running body lifts can actually get rid of the shaft spacer and just run a solid steering shaft with this Borgeson unit, which will reduce a lot of play in your steering wheel. Just about everybody will notice tighter steering with the installation of the Borgeson steering shaft, and it only takes about 10 minutes to put in. Make sure to use a dab of threadlocker on the Allen screw that attaches the shaft to the firewall mount. Specify year model when you order; these are available for 03 - 08 four wheel drive models. These have a 5-year, unlimited mile warranty. New Lower Prices!
