The dodge off road version is a better design. It doesn't tie across to the opposite frame rail, so, you don't get the torque loading from the brace when the frame twists. I would link to it, but, apparently, the way the store site operates, I can link directly to it. Search it up.

I'm probably going to order one for several reasons. My box is healthy but I suffer from the flex and wandering steering. It's affordable. My Ram is rarely off road, and when it is, it's a mild trail to a camping location or a field for wood or car parts.

It seems very well designed and based on my situation, a perfect fit to assist the steering and lessen the wandering.
I had terrible wondering.. with only 75K. After my local shop replaced the ball joints it was worse. I found the steering box cross bar on craigslist. Had it put on. It did not help one bit..
So, then I thought, well, I'll rebuild the entire front-end.. drag, link tie rod ends etc.. Was about to, when I spoke with my tire guy who owns a dodge PU. He looked at the front end and thought it was tight. He suggested I replace the stabilizer. I had the part handy, he put it on and it did make a big difference..
