I purchased a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9l (H.O.) in October of 2012. The vehicle had a 6" Superlift system with Superlift shocks paired with a Rancho dual steering stabilizer on the original 03-08 (Y) steering linkage. It was running on 35/12.5/17 Toyo tires, but otherwise everything about the suspension and steering was bone stock. Having already owned this exact same truck and given it to my dad, I knew what to expect when purchasing a replacement. Diesels are not renowned for their ride quality, road comfort, or pristine steering (especially the Chrysler systems). This truck had all of the right sounds, power, and features.....but the ride was almost unbearable. Every pothole, crack, crease, tar strip, rock, and slightest imperfection resounded throughout the truck. While cruising at highway speeds, keeping it straight on the road was a constant chore. After driving for 3 hours, I'd literally be exhausted from the constant wrestling with the steering wheel. The worst part, however, was the death wobble when I'd hit a bridge expander strip or a pavement change. Turning was also about as accute as a bowl of gravy....there were times a slight turn in the wheel would get me around the corner and other times required the intervention of Jesus Christ himself to get the steering wheel to turn and have the tires follow.
I bought this 03-08 (T) style linkage upgrade to HELP resolve all of the issues listed above. I also purchased a Hell Bent Steel steering stabilizer (goes between the sway bar and frame...braces an extension bolted onto the bottom of the pitman arm) and installed it initially. I noticed a slight difference in the steering...it felt firmer, more precise, and it didn't feel like I was going to rip out my steering box. I also bought a new set of 4 Goodyear Duratrac 35-inch equivalent tires (315/75/17 if I remember correctly) and the ride quality was slightly improved. I later purchased a Top Gun Customz dual steering stabilizer kit (5100 Bilstein stabilizers) and new polymer bushings for the control arms of the Superlift kit. Lacking the facilities and know-how to do ALL of this work and the inherent risk of driving a pickup having these upgrades without a proper alignment, I took the pickup to 4-Wheel Parts to have the control arm bushings, TGC steering stabilizer, and 03-08 steering linkage installed along with a proper alignment.
$1,000 and a total of 8 months later, I drove a different pickup out of the 4 Wheel Parts parking lot. I am not going to over-exaggerate here, I was literally smiling the biggest smile I've ever smiled that entire drive home. It was a moment of emotion I will never forget, to drive a lifted diesel truck that handles better than any pickup I'd ever driven. I drove over railroad crossings, dips, pits, potholes, creases, pavement changes and did not feel ONE thing. The best part of all, absolutely ZERO death wobble.....done, dead, completely eliminated in every sense of the word. This linkage, along with the other essentials for my pickup's configuration, was the best investment I have ever made in my vehicle for both safety and ride quality. If you have an 03-08 Ram and are experiencing these issues, I implore you to find the means to invest in these upgrades as they will elongate your vehicle's service life, improve your driving, and keep you safer on the road. You simply cannot pass this up.
I am, in every way of the word, completely and utterly thankful to Amazon for offering this part at half the MSRP at the local Dodge dealership. I was able to afford more upgrades and get the same quality part from a direct vendor. This is the best purchase I have ever made, PERIOD.
