Default 2500 Ram stearing stablizer up grade?

I found a rough country dual stearing stablizer kit on ebay for my 06 2500 Ram. My truck retains stock suspension ( not sure if its the y or t type drag link at this momnet, as per 06) stock 265 70 17 tires and Im curious if this kit will improve upon my stock stearing and extend the life on my new ball joints.

I have new tie rod ends and drag link on my truck, stock stearing is fine the way it is, But Im planning on stepping up my towing use to just under the factery limts of my truck, so high way stability and control is paramount.

BDS also makes a set. My understanding is they help with bump steer and wobble in some cases.

I orderd up this kit, my first impressions are WOW, stearing shocks are massive when compared to the oem shock. Looks verry simple to install, all thow Im not bleseed with mecanical ability.

Three brackets, left center right two steering shocks, and bolts. take out old stearing stabilizer.

Im not running over sized tires,( 285 70 17 possible) nor do I have a lift kit, but I'm investing in this kit to cure stearing issues Im experiancing with this truck before im tempted to get a stearing brace, or stearing box.....

Ever since the dam drag link fall off the right hub, and with all new front suspension and stearing, Im more prone to wandering and lack of stearing, ie I seem to be over correcting more than im used two.

Buy Direct from Rough country, its cheaper than ebay, whole kit with shipping and screw me because im candian tax worked out to be abought 145.00 cdn.

Kit is installed, and talk abought a total transformation.

Truck is on rails, no stearing wobble, point, and go, totaly fun to drive now.
no detah wobble, no stearing vibrations, insane abillity to cornor on worn BFG RT TA tires.

Mounting brackets need to be drilled out on the front Diff for the dual stearing stabilzers, Template and all hard ware+ instructions are included, I did not install this kit, but its not hard to install or have installed.

As long as alignment is good, its a snap to transform a piggy truck into a Falcon!!

Two stearing shocks as oposed to the stock wimpy made in Brazil mopar crap, Dam Im so pissed that mopar has to be so freaking cheap, and Im signing the prase of rough country,(Rancharo suspensions has a kit as well)

Buy direct from Rough Country, or Rancaro as kits are a lot cheaper than Ebay.

Over kill thats worth paying for on a stock suspension 2500 Ram.

Just ordered mine from Rough Country. I will try to do a write up of the install, and a before and after impression!

I just got the truck last week, but I have trouble with it wondering with the big M/T tires. Hopefully this will help that a bit!
