Default different axle set up??? What???

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting dual steering stabilizers for my truck along with my new adjustable Fabtec track bar, and I'm looking at the Rough Country N2.0 to match my new shocks. Thing is the website says it will only fit 94-99 Ram 1500s. Why not 00&01? Mine is 01 so I emailed Rough Country and they said it's a different set up? Is this true? Or will these work for my truck? Thanks guys!

The manufacturer should know their products. If they stated that it doesn't fit, then I wouldn't try to install it, unless perhaps you contact them directly and ask to speak with a technical person and try to understand details where the fit issue is and whether or not it is something that can be easily dealt with.

Well the only reason I ask is because there are lots of parts out there that say they won't fit my off road edition yet I've installed them no problem. That's why I'm wondering if there is any difference between 94-99 Ram 1500 front suspension components vs 00&01

maybe some minor components, but, that's about it. Everything else is pretty much bolt right on.

the offroad edition sits two inches higher than the regular 1500's, so, about the only difference there is springs.

IIRC the steering is a bit different on 94-99 and 00-01 trucks. Wouldnt bother with dual stabilizers, one is enough and I dont even like to recommend them at all. Just buy a cheap OEM if ya want to change it, save your money.

They did widen the axles in 00 by a couple inches or so

I personally would not spend money on even one stabby. But two is definetly overkill
