Carli Suspension's CS-DHMSS-03-Y "High Mount" Steering Stabilizer for the Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 is a bolt-on upgrade that works with the factory OEM or Carli Low Mount Stabilizer. This stabilizer is mounted above factory location (tie-rod) and instead mounted to the drag link and chassis (near the sway bar frame mount). This Carli stabilizer features an adjustable nitrogen charge that push's to the Left to counter-act a Right Hand Tire Pull (commonly caused by larger tires). Pre-pressurized at 200 PSI (best for push effect), this stabilizer is equipped with a Schrader valve that allows customers to bleed the pressure to desired PSI. A 70 PSI will provide a lower pressure and a neutral effect (no pushing to the left), but still providing increased steering predictability, minimized volatility and reduced driver fatigue.
When paired with the Carli Low Mount Stabilizer (sold separately) these steering stabilizers can double the correction with both pushing to the driver side.
Carli Stabilizers feature their IFP (internal floating piston) technology, a superior choice compared to Emulsion shocks, which are commonly used for affordability but have limitations in performance and longevity. The body is made from 304 Stainless Steel and truly looks amazing while minimizing effects from the elements and road debris. An billet aluminum Top-Cap made from a solid piece of aluminum houses a teflon lined 1/2 inch bearing and o-ring style Schrader valve. The opposite end of the stabilizer uses another billet aluminum rod end housing a 17-4 stainless high-misalignment pin inside a 1/2 inch bearing for bind-free performance.

Jack-it Pro Tips and Advice
Aftermarket steering stabilizers are available in two main types: Emulsion and IFP (Internal Floating Piston), both of which are "gas" charged and contain oil. Emulsion shocks are cheaper than their IFP counterparts but have limitations when used in horizontally mounted applications like steering stabilizers. When mounted sideways, the oil and gas mix, leading to poor damping performance as the piston moves back and forth. Emulsion shocks are commonly found in cheaper dual steering stabilizer kits, more for aesthetics than actual performance. They have smaller pistons, a shorter lifespan, and struggle to effectively control suspension or steering, but are favored for their affordability. On the other hand, Carli Stabilizers are all IFP Shocks, ensuring optimal utilization of proprietary valving technology. IFP shocks have a second piston, called the Dividing piston, internally separating the nitrogen cavity from the oil cavity. This design allows the shock to be mounted in any orientation, even on its side as a stabilizer. The adjustable nitrogen charge pressurizes the oil cavity, keeping the piston always submerged and efficiently engaging the proprietary valving.
Additionally, the nitrogen charge pressurizing the oil cavity enhances the oil's heat tolerance while preventing cavitation or foaming. This results in superior overall performance and longevity for Carli Stabilizers compared to Emulsion shocks commonly found in cheaper alternatives. Although a steering stabilizer is not a magical solution for a wandering truck or a fix for death wobble, it plays a vital role in increasing steering predictability while reducing volatility, road noise, and driver fatigue. Its primary purpose is to stabilize the steering, providing a smoother driving experience. Stock steering stabilizers are designed for stock steering systems and tires, but their effectiveness declines over time, especially with larger aftermarket tires.
Important Notes
Does NOT fit with Factory Power Wagon Sway bar
The High Mount steering stabilizer utilizes a billet clamp to attach to the drag link. There are two types of clamp, “Y” steering and “T” steering. Please confirm you have the proper clamp prior to attempting installation as no returns will be granted on parts where installation was attempted.
“Y” Style: This Steering linkage came on 2003-2008 Ram 2500/3500 and can be identified by a stock, lower steering stabilizer that bolts through a hole on the tie-rod. This steering was recalled and Dodge replaced it with the 08.5+ “T” style in many cases.
“T” Style: This Linkage came on 2008.5+ vehicles and can be identified by a stock, lower steering stabilizer that bolts to a clamp retained to the Factory Tie-Rod by two u-bolts.
The High-Mount Steering Stabilizer is meant to work in conjunction with a Low-Mount (Factory or Carli). Running the High-Mount by itself will not damage the shock but will not provide the proper leverage to properly control the steering linkage.
The High mount Steering Stabilizer is meant to function with lifted/leveled applications. If installing on a stock vehicle, ensure the shock is an CS-LMSS-08 without the extended rod-end.
Stabilizers come pre-charged with 200PSI of Nitrogen. If you encounter a left-hand pull, you can remove N2 pressure by depressing the Schrader for a fraction of a second. RELEASE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. Drive the truck and repeat if necessary.
