Cool 2008 2500 Steering Upgrade

I have an '08 2500 4x4. Handling was always a little sketchy and I put a 2" leveling kit with 315s on it. Now I get the death wobble when going over 60 after hitting a hard bump.

Anyone out there used the Mopar steering upgrade 52122362AH, or AF AE etc? Did this fix the problem? I know this T linkage is much better than the factory installed Y steering. Also not sure if I need a new pitman arm, says I do if made after March '08 but I have no clue when mine was. Sounds like I need a new stabilizer also to work with this upgrade? Looking for some input on your experience with this kit or something similar.

Here's the cheapest I could find everything including a new stabilizer. Let me know if you found a better kit or cheaper price... http://www.highhorseperformance.com/..._p/pk362af.htm

Ask dodge to buy it for you. I'm realy bitter as I had the drag link fall the right hub while backing up, as far as I know the new mopar drag link is still a compression fit on the right hub, no lock nuts or cotter pins under the hub to safe the drag link from falling off.

Something tells me that my leveling kit and H2 wheels have voided any warranty on my steering and suspension

All componants on the 2500 ram stearing and suspension don't hold up on a stock truck, non servicable is the dodge way, lift kis, over size tires using stock ball joints, front u joints on the drive axle is one quick way to cook a dodge 2500 front stearing componants and ball join
