No there not, they got the the tie rods, that you can loosen and tighten to level the truck out or lower the front end.
There the better 3rd gens. There actually not bad to work on, we have one up at the high school shop are teacher owns, and we work on it from time to time.
Its really nice...
I wouldn't mine owning one...

WOW,

Well, glad you can get a good settlement. No insurance is a bad thing. I think it should be a FELONY. PRISON time. Not to mention DUI. That 17 year old will not get a licence until she is 21 years old at least.

The NG will still keep you. And if not, the Army reserves really have ordered a FULL COURT PRESS for OCS/Direct Commission they are short 63 contracts for the FY. It could be a fallback if the NG does something sneaky. Not trying to sway you, but there is another route to go just in case.

Keep on truckin!

Glad you're ok man. That looks like it had to have hurt quite a bit.

Not to rag on ya, but think really really really hard about not getting into a 5.7 hemi. I say this because the early 4.7's (2003 included) had some problems with the heads and sludge build up like mad. Not to mention, you'll never let yourself deal with the fact that you missed out on the extra 100 HP. If you've already bought it, then oh well.

Glad to read all this knowing that you came out of this in descent shape. Last year the wife and I were in our '04 Ram when it rolled due to loss of traction on black ice. I was fine and the wife had a "mild case of whiplash". Go Ram!
Once again, glad your doing well. Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
