First, thanks for all of the help here so far!

I need all new steering components. Here is the Moog parts list, DS1460, DS1462, 2 ES2012S, ES2526 and ES3527. The total price is $400 before using a $50 off discount code.

My question is...Is Moog worth the extra money? Does these look like the correct for numbers for my 2001 Ram 2500?

i replaced everything on the front end of my truck with moog parts about 9 months ago. everything is tight and responsive. like any part just be sure to service them. i regrease them every oil change. im very happy with moog products.
is it worth the extra money? they are known as the best. i would say yes

After splitting my order in to 3 separate orders. I used 30% off for each order and saved $128.89. The total came to a little over $300.

steering linkage can be done with basic hand tools, save yourself some money and do it yourself. its very easy. there is some basic how to for it all around here somewhere.
also you will want to take your truck to get an alignment after you are done.

Definitely doing it myself. I'll just count the threads on them and get it close. I plan on having it aligned after.

align it yourself. all you need is some string and a big wrench to turn the adjusters. dont waste money at an alignement shop. anyone can adjust the toe in. youre not even effecting the caster either.

Rockauto.com has those same parts for $232.38. That's about what I paid for the same parts for my 1500 a few weeks ago.
