There's nothing wrong with the design, steering, suspension or otherwise in these trucks.

There is an issue with owners who do stupid things with them like installing spacer pucks on the springs and calling it good. For every prematurely worn out track bar, hoofed steering box and low-mileage fried ball joint you will find an owner who probably installed pucks and went on his merry way, oblivious to the suspension and steering design.

the track bar and the steering box is the most common. my last truck, every tie rod link, joint, and ball joint was jacked. every dodge i owned before this i put a track bar and remanned steering box in it and she drives like a caddy! and it'll only run you about 350 bucks total.
