It rides better, handles better, all replacement parts are available here in Canada, where as other kits not so much. I paid $300 new for it and could not be happier.

On to the pics, I have one bolt left to finish drilling and install the bolt, my neck and arms gave out before I could finish this last bolt hole.

drove it to zmans house. hung out for a bit, shot my gun, and then headed home.

soon as i got a half mile down the road the wipers went on full blast, and stayed that way for 95% of the 25 mile drive home.

99 HD T-steering... go get it!!!

if you had a 2000 or later I would say to get 4th gen T-steering, but it wouldn't fit on a pre-2000 truck without modifications...

What's the difference?


Did some preliminary checks on the Ram before I go out to my friend's place on Monday. Set the rear brakes.

It's on the list Jigabop but not the full HD setup, part of it will be custom made.

Yes Sir, The heim will get some kind of rubber boot for the winter, I fully expect to replace this part in the spring after the winter road salt and sand, the other end has a serviceable bushing and its greaseable.

Today was oil change day, go over every nut and bolt under it and I mean all of them as 95% of it has been touched in the last two weeks.

Replaced the blower motor with a good one from the salvage yard. A/C is blowing good again . Next, to check the clunk when shifting into reverse.
