A direct replacement extreme duty Tie Rod and Drag Link assembly to replace your underperforming OE steering. Oversized tie rod and drag link ends, connected by massive DOM Steel adjusting sleeves, eliminates death wobble and tightens up steering under the most extreme conditions. Weak adjusting sleeves are replaced via tie rod and drag link ends threading directly into the connecting rods, secured by jam nuts and our proprietary ninja lock-washers and our New ProLock washers.

This will change the way your vehicle drives forever!

What It Fits:

  • Ford F250 Super Duty (2017-2025) 4WD (except wide track)
  • Ford F350 Super Duty (2017-2025) 4WD (except wide track)

Fitment Notes:

  • Dual Steering Stabilizers - Due to our tie rod ends being 1/8 inch larger in diameter than OE, modifications may need to be made to dual stabilizer kit, tie rod end brackets to fit.
  • BDS Trackbar - Our drag link is not compatible with the BDS Adjustable Trackbar as the adjuster sleeve on the BDS unit will contact the Apex drag link in operation.
  • High Mount Steering Stabilizer - Must be mounted in OE position at taper hole in pitman arm side drag link end. We recommend OE style stabilizers from Fox (Part 985-24-001) and Carli (not through shaft stabilizers such as Fox ATS).
  • Not Compatible With Wide Track

The Special Sauce:

  • Housing
    • SAE 1045 Solid Steel Forged Housing: This is unequivocally the best carbon alloy steel for this application.
    • CNC Machined Housing: Make our parts and bearings dimensionally perfect, eliminating any die wear issues.
  • Ball Studs
    • SAE 4140 Hot Forged Chromoly Ball Studs: For the strongest possible metallurgy.
    • Induction Heat Treated Ball Studs: Provides a very precise heat treatment to the exact depth and location we want it.
    • Rolled Threads: Made by pressing the shape of the threads into the ball stud instead of cutting. This strengthens the threads instead of weakening them and allows for easy movement of hardware. This ain't no Ikea furniture!
    • Step Threads: Allows for very easy movement of hardware on install and superior holding when torqued (installer choice).
  • Bearing Design
    • Rugged Metal to Metal Bearing
  • Boots
    • CR Rubber Boots: The most durable material for undercar applications. Resistant to deterioration from road level ozone, oil/gas/engine fluids and extreme heat or cold.
    • Accordion Boot: Ideal for high-articulation components, more flexibility means longer life.
  • Finish
    • Polished Aluminum: Highly polished, raw aluminum
    • Black Aluminum and DOM Steel: Powder coated black
  • Hardware
    • Grade 8 - Class 10.9 Hardware: Superior tensile strength.
    • Castle Nut: Industry standard where high vibration loads occur.
  • Adjusting Rods
    • Tie Rod: 2.125 inch DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Heavy walled steel tubing provides the tightest most robust steering on the market.
    • Drag Link: 1.75 inch DOM SAE 1020 Tube: Heavy walled steel tubing provides the tightest most robust steering on the market.
    • Tie Rod: 2.125 inch 7075-T6 Aluminum Rod: The best aluminum available for this application. Extremely durable but has some flex and memory if you really bash it into something.
    • Drag Link: 1.75 inch 7075-T6 Aluminum Rod: The best aluminum available for this application. Extremely durable but has some flex and memory if you really bash it into something.
  • Lubrication
    • Pre Threaded Zerk Housing: If you have ever installed a MOOG Ball Joint without a pre-threaded zerk fitting you will understand what a simple but great feature this is. Another installer fav.
    • Greaseable: Because it should be.
    • Pre-Greased: Just in case you forget, we have you covered.
    • Gull Winged Grease Grooves: Allows for improved lubrication disbursement around the ball stud.
    • Zerk Fittings: Included for every application.

Special Features:

  • ProLock Link Connect System (TM): Exclusively from APEX - This patent pending system utilizes a precision keyway cut into the threads of our tie rod and drag link ends, and a pre-bent keyway washer that locks onto the wrench flats of the connecting rod to completely stop any tie rod rotation once the jam nut is set. The jam nut, once torqued to spec, is then locked in place with 3 set-screws inset into the jam nut.
  • Pre Bent Ninja Washers (tm): An APEX exclusive is our Ninja Washer which is a unique method of securing the lock nut to the tube, erasing the need for lightly built adjusting tubes with ugly pinch clamps.
  • And who doesn't want a ninja on their front end!
  • Reversible Drag Link: Another APEX Innovation: In some lifted or aftermarket applications the pitman arm end of the drag link is flipped over causing difficulties with mounting the steering stabilizer into the tapered hole on the drag link end. To solve this we have drilled the hole out straight and provided a reversible stainless steel taper sleeve so the steering stabilizer can be mounted from either side.
  • Greaseable, High Articulation Spherical Bushing: For extreme durability our passenger side tie rod is fitted with an oversized greaseable high articulation spherical bushing. This allows for maximum articulation and load disbursement, for better performance, and longer life.
  • Minimum Engagement Mark on Drag Link End Threads: If this mark in the thread of the drag link is showing it means you are beyond the safe engagement of threads into the adjusting sleeve. You may be lifted too high and need to switch to a flip kit or you may need to equal out the adjusting sleeve between the two ends.

Great Pillows, But Made for Taller People
Clearly these pillows are high end, very well-made pillows that will last for, dare I say, decades, and they are supportive for the neck and spine... for some people. I got the set of two, one for myself and one for my husband. I am 5'4", about 165lbs, and he is 6'2" about 240lbs. So there is a big difference in size between us. The pillows arrived in a very small but high quality box, each rolled separately, and I thought for sure that they would take a while to roll out, fluff up, and unwrinkle, the way our bed and other pillows did. But that wasn't the case at all. These pillows immediately fluffed up and were usable with not a single wrinkle (see photos). The silk gray cases that come with them were also in no way wrinkled and fit like a glove. They were a little difficult to situate for me (the cases) because they must go on a certain way (my husband wants me to tell y'all that he got it right the first time). It took me three tries. But once they were on, they looked beautiful and the pillows felt very soft with them on. Now, that said, it was clear the moment I laid on it that it's made for someone taller, or rather, with a longer neck. When I lay on it, my head does not land on the center of the pillow where the bump is, where it's supposed to cradle my neck. My head instead lays directly on that bump, cocked up with my neck kinked. That's also because *I* am a side sleeper. Now if I lay on my back, my head lays a little more in the center. That is the only way this pillow slightly works for me. If you read the "instructions," it explains that there is a section for your head when you're laying on your back (the center dip) and a section for when you're on your side (the edges). Either way is too high for me. My neck isn't long enough. In order to get it into the correct position, I have to stretch it unnaturally. When I lay naturally, my neck is bent and kinked and hurts more in the morning than ever before. The feel of it, putting aside its side and dimensions, is very soft to the touch but also quite firm at the same time. It's not the kind of memory foam that takes a while to bounce back. It's bounces back immediately. It's very springy. The only way I can use this pillow is if I spin in around to keep the cervical support bump at the top and just lay over the flat portion, making it more like a regular pillow. It's still too high and stiff for me, but it's better. Now for my husband (6'2"), this pillow works great! He's a back sleeper and it really supports his neck. And he does sometimes lay on his side, and apparently it's supports his neck then too. His neck is long enough to reach that edge section for side sleepers and the center supportive dip for back sleepers. He loves it! He says, his neck feels great in the morning and it's his new favorite pillow. When I got this pillow set, it was listed at $340, and he said that it was not worth that price. But it is now listed at $169, and he's saying that is a much more reasonable price. I personally wouldn't pay that, but that's because the pillow doesn't work for me. I stand by my statement that these pillows are for taller people (or people with longer necks). But for him, he would pay it. I wish it worked for me. I'm a bit jealous, to tell you the truth.

Finally, a pair of pillows that look good on the bed and feel good on the neck.
As much as I like the comfort and support of a cervical neck pillow, they usually have a strange ufo-type look and are usually quite small. It's fine for use, but they are not a great look on the bed. I wanted something more welcoming and full-looking with the support of a c-pillow. This set actually met my hopes and needs. I love how the pillow has two strengths - firmer on one side, softer on the other. That makes it easy to find the best fit for your own neck shape and support needs. The pillows are large enough that side-by-side on a queen sized bed they look welcoming and like they could probably even have matching cases put on them instead of requiring specialty industrial-looking pillow cases like many do. Having proper neck support has reduced headaches and neck tension and allows for better sleep!

Perfect if you're in the right position, not so perfect otherwise
I've been using this for about a week and I like it, but with some caveats. It is shaped so you can only sleep in 2 positions and you can't really move in bed. As long as you are in the correct position, it is really comfortable and provides the best support you can ask for. The problem is if you move around in bed, it turns into a hinderance. With normal pillows, they more or less move with you and are comfortable as you move. This is very specifically great in a single position, but terrible in any other position. If you are able to keep still, this is the perfect pillow for you. If you are like me and roll around too much, its more of a problem for sleeping than a help. I am going to move it over to my couch for napping with, and I think it'll work out far better since the couch isn't really big enough to roll around.

Great quality
Size: Twin, Color: White
This mattress pad is just thick enough without being overly bulky which tends to bunch up after washing. It is super soft and fits twin bed perfectly with just enough padding to add comfort. For a waterproof cover this one is superior to others I've had.

I’m buying more!
Size: Twin, Color: White
The quality of this product is amazing! It looks fantastic, super fluffy and comfortable, keeps accidents from getting onto mattress. It works so well! And is so worth the cost, I’m buying more for the rest of the beds in our house.
