steering box stabilizer, which one is best?
I know there are a few places out there that sell/make them, but which one is best and I see some are different thickness's.. Does this really matter? It also looks like custom-diesel.com has the best deal at $139 what do you think? And last question what is the best route to go for a leveling kit???
Thanks! ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- I now see custom-diesel has a steering stabilizer and 2" leveling kit package for $219 this seems pretty good to me what do you think!? ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- can anyone give me some input?? Is there any difference between this one from custom-diesel or an equivalent from ebay? |
BD steering stabalizer is my vote, I've had on on my old 2k Ram with a leveling kit. If you are planning to have the truck for awhile I would stay away from puck style leveling kits for the stock coils. They ride like a brick. If that doesnt matter to you then yes that will work good

I have the custom diesel steering stabilizer on my truck w/6" lift.. works great ..Big difference in steering. :jump:...
|
Thanks for the info guys I ended up ordering this off of ebay because it was the cheapest I could find and they seem to all be built the same.
(1994 2002 Dodge RAM 2500 3500 1500 4x4 Steering Gear Box Stabilizer | eBay) I got it on monday but haven't installed it yet, It looks great though and came packaged really nice haha. I'll have it installed in a few days and let you guys know how it is as I'm in the middle of doing some work to my truck. |

Hey guys, put my steering stabilizer in the other day and wow what a difference! It feels like a brand new truck and was a super easy install. Even while towing our flat deck car hauler loaded I noticed a huge difference
|
Good to know, thanks for the update! :tu:

HUH? a big advantage to using those pucks is that they retain the factory ride quality for cheap. how could adding a 2" spacer possibly change the spring rate of the spring?
Mine sure seems to be effected with the level kit. But I can't prove it for sure. |
ive found that it is really advisable to put 2 inch longer shocks on the front end when you install the front spacers. the stock shocks work but only have approx 2 inches of stroke left after the lift is installed. so hitting pot holes in the road can be horrendous because the shocks are bottoming out. this is why i believe the $139 leveling kit can ride like hell, its because these kits dont include the $120 in rancho or whatever shock you choose in their kit.

Seems like rather than selling a leveling kit with longer shocks, it would be cheaper to make a kit that rather than a spacer, replaces the shock mount with one that is spaced up for the ride height and offset inside for the shock mount, no?
