welcome to the world of dodge. if you think the sway bar links are exspensive .wait till you have to get front wheel hub bearings.. hahahaha.. they are like 300.00 a side w/ the rotor pressed on it. I suggest you learn a little about the truck and start doing the work yourself.

Actually, the rear lift blocks are identical to a regular 4x4. The front and rear springs are different, and sit about 1.5-2" taller. And it also had different shocks, 17" wheels, extra skid plates, and came with the heavy duty battery/alternator setup.

Actually, they dont come with the rotor pressed on. And most parts store sell them for around $200 (or even a little less). The dealer wants $250, and you know how they charge for genuine parts.

I stand corrected. I knew about the 17" wheels and the skid plates, but I didn't know it had the heavy duty battery and alternator setup. Personally I think I think all these trucks should have had 4.10 gears or at least 3.93 installed from the factory, but it's awesome that the offroads did.

For sure. It is quite a step of from a regular ram. Too bad they didnt offer the powerwagon setup in 2nd gen .

yeah i have already had both wheel hubs replaced. that cost about 550 dollars for both sides. that was crazy. my only big problem i have with my truck now is the transmission. i dont have a 2nd gear at all so i have to go from 1st to 3rd. it kinda sucks. so i have been told by 3 or 4 local shops here its gonna be bout 1800-2200. thats wat the quotes have been. so that kinda sucks
