And the project continues...
Went ahead and added the steering box stabilizer. Honestly I don't notice much, if any, difference. I'm either getting used to any wander it might have or it's solved. I barely notice anything anymore.
Starting to work on the bed storage now. Installed some...
Got the rig out for some camping this past weekend. The rig worked perfectly...and I learned a lot on the way. Definitely noted some improvements needed for the setup.
Thanks!
Looks like you've got quite a bit more weight on the front end that I do with that bumper which might be helping chew up the front end. The bushings, drag link, tie rod bar/ends, and track bar solved about 70% of the problem. Oddly enough replacing the hydroboost hose helped stiffen the...
Went ahead with the rear suspension replacement...Thuren long travel springs, Thuren shackles and Bilstein 5100's. Holy crap this thing rides like a half ton now. It's a shocking difference.
Ended up pulling the air bags out during the install, still on the fence about putting them back in. I...
Wrapping up 1500 mile trip to northern MN over the weekend...perfect proper shake down.
- The front end upgrade was 100% worth it. The steering wander is dramatically reduced. It still needs ball joints, but overall huge progress.
- Starting to look at a rear leaf spring upgrade to soften the...
Fun bits...

First priority...fix the stupid steering wander and the dreaded death wobble. These Dodges eat front ends.
Installed a CJC drag link, tie rod bar and steering bushings. Also added a Thuren MFG track bar.
This truck has been through a few front ends, all replaced with OEM parts. Here's to...
Hey folks...long time listener, first time poster.
I'm starting a project moving from a 4th Gen T4R overland rig to a full size truck. I love my 4Runner, but its a bit constrained when bringing the family on adventures. Pic attached for fun.
Scored a pretty good deal on a 2013 RAM 2500...
