Sorry I had missed your post. You can find them online here:
Buy Discount Performance Tires at The Tire Club | Toyo | Bridgestone | Firestone
PS
I see they are currently back-ordered; but that is where I got my set from. Should be getting them installed within the next month...

I got the ball joints put on today. I am sadd to say however that the truck still wanders down the damn road.:argh: I dont know what to do. I guess just drive it and live with the fact that I bought a dodge. Love my cummins hate my dodge.:scare2:

You can get the XRF's in from the link in my Sig. I've had mine for over 50k miles... so far so good, but my tires are starting to wear funny. They are USA made, and the XRF guys are good to talk to.

BTW... you're wandering is from your crap steering box. about 3 bills for a new one. Get a PSC.

94dizzyram 06-04-2010 08:57 PM

I just put in my third cardone boxin about 3000 miles. It isnt binding but still has a good bit of play. I plan on getting a new one eventually. Ive already dropped to much cash in my front end to do anything else now though. I have the psc brace and it seems to be a really good product. I will check into them when I find some spare cash. :c:

F*** A1 CARDONE. All they sell is junk.

AndyMan 06-04-2010 09:04 PM

Yup. Cardone is crap crap crap. :( Sorry you got one.

I have the brace too, from back when it was called the DSS (Darin's Steering Stabilizer IIRC)... it didn't help a whole lot... A QUALITY steering box is the fix.

Mine wondered all over the road after the ball joints were done. The steering box was the issue. Hope that it helps.
