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. 😮
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.
who makes a good free spin kit
@@roadkill44mu dynatrac. or you can swap in everyting from the ball joints out off a ford dana 60 and get dual piston calipers while youre at it
A black rust converter would have been better than nothing against the new parts. Although, it does look cool in its own way. 🤙
Nice 2nd gen build love that tire and rim combo. What brand of tires and size are they?
Just bought the Ultimate 4x4 complete system with tharen and red head steering box!
Thanks guys, hope it comes.with a hoodie!
We can make that happen! Shoot us an email reply to your order receipt with your size.
Did this include suspension parts or just steering parts? I'd like to know cause I'm building a 2nd Gen now and I'm looking to upgrade both suspension and steering. Thanks man!!!
Do you know if this kit fits the 1500s since we have a different axle?
Have you found any kits that work? I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE to find a t bar kit for a 2nd gen 1500, and the info is terrible
@@nicmigliore3753 not at all. It’s kind of crappy how you can’t find decent parts for these trucks whenever they are so popular
@@nicmigliore3753did y’all ever find anything?
Where did you get that bumper?
What size tires and wheels on this 2nd gen? Beautiful setup
This truck is on a 37/12.5/17 Toyo MT with 0 offset 7x8.5 wheels.
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
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.

What triming is needed to not rub running 37s on 20 inch methods toyo 37/12.50r20 carli coil red head steering pinch welds are shaved down still rubbing do u guys offer triming service in house?
What year truck do you have? For second gens, it takes some major trimming, or a trip to the body shop.
94 second gen
What grease do yous like to use for ball-joints/ tie rods/ greaseable aftermarket parts?
We use Redline CV2 Grease
So what would be the best set up for 3500 1997 rwd
Sadly there aren't a lot of options for 2wd trucks outside of standard parts store stuff.
Do these parts work with 1500 dodges or just 25 and 3500's
Very good question
They responded man they said it also works with 94-02 4x4 1500
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF SPORT TRUCKS!!!!
Anything for a 1999 2nd gen 1500???
As long as the truck is 4wd, almost all of these parts fit.
What is the the $ cost for the whole set up?
Just click the link in the pinned comment to see pricing!
Is this only for 2500,3500’s. I have a 2000 1500… does this list still apply ?
As long as the truck is 4wd, these parts will fit!
Well, I thought they had stuff for the 1500 but apparently not
1500 4wd trucks use all the same parts!
Man I want that front bumper for mine bad. Where can I buy one??
That’s just a factory sport bumper!
Thanks. My dad had one when I was a kid so I just got a project 1500 to hopefully fix up on time for my daughter
Do you offer anything for the 2nd gen 1500?
As long as your truck is 4wd, most of these parts will it!
Im really liking this build
Could this kit work on a 96 1500 2x4?
Unfortunately no.
Do you do installs? where are you located?
JohnM-Jr, Did the fellow ever get back to you with your question ? Peter
What wheels are these
These are discontinued Robbie Gordon wheels. Sadly they have been discontinued for a while now.
@@CJCOffRoad aww man! They are sweet!
Awesome
Is any of those compatible with a 1500?
Actually all of this fits a 4wd 94-2002 Ram 1500.
@@CJCOffRoad AWESOME! Thank you
@@CJCOffRoad actually with the 1500s having a Dana 44 axle wouldn't that complicate things since the 2500/3500s are Dana 60/70?
@@Paranoid-loser While the axle is different, the actual mounting for the track bar and steering are the same, so you can use the 2500 parts without modification.
@@CJCOffRoad thank you for still responding
