To anyone skeptical about doing this I immediately bought synergy steering upgrade and their adjustable control arms for a 2012 Ram 3500 ST Dually 4x4 and I haven’t seen, heard or felt any signs of death wobble in 3 year’s!! People guarantee a lot of things, but I can honestly say this is GUARANTEED to fix any and all issues you may have with your front end.

[@Luna-dt1nt]

Nice informative vid thx

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Good tips, but I don't drive my 97 anymore 😂 How about a video on how to stop steering squeaks and creaks on a 2014? On first glance, I can't find any zerks.

[@wtfamerica1]

What lift is on the white truck at 7:04? Offset? Wheel size? Stance looks great! Any rub?

[@darrinstone49]

Have you ever rebuilt a track bar? Geno's garage sells the tools & kit to do so. I also talked to Redhead tech support & and they not only agree but sell the pitman arm brace that adds a bearing to the end of the shaft securing it from flexing. Some claim it must only be attached to the drivers side frame but they disproved that myth.

[@CJCOffRoad]

We have never seen very good longevity out of the OEM track bar rebuild kits. Also other benefits of complete replacements include the double shear mounting bracket and adjustability factor. We agree on the claim for a one sided brace. It was a specific company claiming that a one sided brace was superior, ironically they also sold said product.

I was just about to pull the trigger on the 4th Gen setup. That’s interesting you say it’s not the right setup and will cause issues. Now I’m back to the drawing board.

[@CJCOffRoad]

For some reason it's become the go to on the forums, but it's designed for a wider third gen axle, so you're forcing it into a place where it doesn't belong.

[@marcusgeorge-hr1vv]

Did you guys do the Saleen navigator a few years ago?

[@JackTruitt]

when I first got my 99, truck was all over the road and a shop recommended 3rd gen steering. since then I've upgraded everything else, should I go back to 2nd gen y style??

[@CJCOffRoad]

We'd recommend the Synergy 2nd gen specific T style. You get the benefits of T steering, but with linkage designed for the geometry of your 2nd gen truck.

[@alessespeeddesign]

Pitman arm? I could not for the life of me find OEM. What do you guys recommend?

[@CJCOffRoad]

1998-1999 trucks that originally came with T-Style Steering (Where the tie rod connects to both knuckles) must use the pitman arm from 1994-1997 trucks, stamped TRW-246.

[@alessespeeddesign]

@@CJCOffRoad Looking for 2001. Only found Moog

[@CJCOffRoad]

Mopar has discontinued the TRW-246 part number so unless you can find it at a wrecking yard, 3rd party replacements are the only option.

[@FranciscoLopez-xt1ux]

Will this kit work for a rear wheel drive 2000 2500 dodge ram

[@CJCOffRoad]

Sadly no, those don't share any front suspension or steering parts with a 4wd part.

Y’all’s parts are crazy expensive

[@CJCOffRoad]

We only offer the highest quality stuff that we would run on our personal trucks. There's lots of cheap track bars, ball joints and steering kits out there, but none last under these trucks.

[@kyles234]

​@@CJCOffRoadthe only balljoints that last is EMF. Years ago I wasted money on Carli. EMF have way outlasted any Carli balljoints. My truck has 528k kms on it and sees a hard life with garbage Canadian "roads"and resource roads.

[@brianmilliard6998]

lol, why is it so bad in the first place? Oh wait, it’s a dodge.

[@johnathanwhitten1111]

Fords do the same and chevys just drop their whole spindle, rotor, caliper, wheel and tire driving down the highway but okay lol

[@jimdecker7179]

Will the 2500 parts work underneath a 96 Dodge Ram 1500

[@CJCOffRoad]

As long as it's 4wd most will. Just shoot us an email and we can help out. [e-mail]
