That's even worse.... I am VERY reluctant to 'cheap out' on STEERING parts...... If you are replacing everything under there, why not upgrade to a better steering system? Rumor has it, the 08.5 crossover steering will pretty much bolt right in. MUCH better system than the Y steering on there now..... maybe something to investigate?

Yeah, I'd suggest 08.5+ steering too and get some quality ball joints and decent shocks (bilsteins if ya got the $)

Nevermind i thought the 08.5 steering was for 98-02 rams, but its just 00-02.
I'd be look at the 98-99 1 ton steering talked about here: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...y-truck-2.html
