    CJC has been honest with me without pushing me to buy anything. Got an ´01 Dodge 2500 QCLB with EMF BJ‘s, Synergy linkage, Thuren for both the track bar and active sway bar. HUGE difference in ride quality. I also recommend a free spin kit to eliminate the cursed unit bearings.

    Great video. #1 thing is saftey, much of us care of the truck, #1 thing is you and family is what this buys us. Peace of mind in rain, snow, dry, mud, wet conditiins rely on these updates to the truck's abilty to handle any condition. Especially when Putin is threatening with nuclear war. We should be Best to be prepared for anything. 😮

    I don’t know if it’s the price or the work it takes to install but I have found that the free wheel kit I bought from Yukon fixes a lot of the steering quick wear issues these trucks have. The free wheel kit allows the spindle to spend free from the axle and differential. Getting rid of all of that rotating mass that the steering components has to deal with fixes a lot of the headache. I thought I was having to replace my steering box on my O2 ram 2500 4 x 4, but I decided to install the Yukon kit first. Along with the kit, I changed to the newer, steering tie rod style. Made a huge difference, and I ended up not changing out the box.

    I was about to offload(sell) my MINT low mile 99 untill I saw this! Fingers crossed I'm going to try as last resort these ball joints you mentioned first.
    My whole front end is New trying to correct the steering that I HATE!
    New 3rd gen everything, red head, BDs steering box support bar, nothing left out. My diesel mechanic said he could fix it with new ball joints! I assume and hope what you mention here is what he suggested, I just wasn't convinced. At the moment I'm not convinced yet. I far prefer my 3 1st Gens 89,90
