if any of you have steering problems i highly suggest a steering stabilizer bar. it did wonders for me. other than that we will just have to live with the horrible dodge steering design.

im tellin ya man put hydraulic assist on it and tell me it still steers like crap. since hydraulics are a powered system, the bad geometry on the dodges is taken care of because the ram owns the battle in geometry versus hydraulic power. my truck steered just as bad as a crappy dodge steering setup and not its like driving a honda down the road

call them they make it.

here is a summit link:

AGR Performance 384251K22 - AGR Performance ROCKRAM Steering Systems - Application - SummitRacing.com

i dont think any of our sponsors here deal with them. it comes with a new steering box, p/s pump, the ram, and all hardware

no because for the steering system all of the factory components are being replaced with much better parts. and as for wearing out bushings and whatnot its actually alot better for your other suspensions parts because it takes the strain away from the stock steering
