Pics? there are so many pics of them in the advertising. It's just a new crossmember with a bearing for the bottom of the steering box. Not much to see really....

I don't believe a stabilizer kit will fix problems caused by any defective components, it will however mitigate the common problem of frame/steering box flex inherent in Dodge's 4X4 frame design.

I put a BD brand one on my truck but you can find less expensive ones, they are all about the same. Some people have said some brands have better bearings than others, but the bearing never moves even a complete rotation so I don't feel it matters too much.
