Here's a Dodge video I thought worth sharing.
Who need 4x4... and what Gen do we put this one in?
I guess we have good heritage.

Merc, What is your opinion on steering stabilizers? None vs Single vs Dual?

Back to driving the 88 GMC for now until I get the swap and conversion done. The trans in my 2500 decided it didnt really need a second gear and left it at the redlight. It still holds second so long as I keep it at 50% throttle or less.

so I changed the spark plugs in the GMC today and installed a new hvac temp actuator so I could have heat again. I also finally tracked down my high idle issue to a leaking intake manifold gasket. So I found a edelbrock performer for $140. Its a 2.5 hr round trip but worth it. So im going to get it tomorrow and install it and new valve springs with new valve seals. Have to wait and install it all next week though as I have to work tomorrow on some side jobs and then sunday I have a golf tornament.

I'm wandering the same thing so if someone could answer here soon, lol.

I was just about to order the dual kit off Rough Country since I don't even have one. I figured it would help some with my 35s when I get them. The dual kit is 110 shipped and single is around 48 shipped.

Same here. There's mixed opinions on the matter, so I wanted to hear from some people that knew what they were taking about lol. Some say that all they do is mask front end problems and put too much stress on the steering box while others say it prolongs the life of front end parts and tires. I checked my front end parts before I got my tires done so I know they're all fine, but I wanted to tighten up the steering a little. The dual kit is $101.90 for me. Better than the others that are $150.
