doesnt look bad at all! Thanks.. what else have you been searching for?

sometimes my rear feels likeit's riding on marbles which sucks. it's a little too wishy-washy for me and something like that would work pretty good I think...

hey guys,
that link that Steve posted says it is for 2003-06 2500's and then says does not fit 11.5 rearends. did i miss something???

BTW i have a set of hellwig adjustable helper leaf springs on mine. they do make a difference. they were under $200 i think and took me about an hour or so to install. i keep mine adjusted moderately and mine drives great, and if i am towing or hauling super heavy it takes 3 or 4 minutes to adjust them for a load. i love them, becuase i feel like i am much more stable.

I think (not 100% sure though) the 11.5's are the 1 ton rear ends...

Rather than starting a new thread, I'm digging this one up. It looks like I will be putting a new 11.5' Lance camper on the truck this year with a dry weight of 4000lbs. Putting Helwig anti sway bars on the front and rear of my old F250 made a 500% improvement when carrying a 10.5' camper.

Has anybody put a sway bar on the rear of their CTD? I looked at the Roadmaster website, but for the 3500, it only shows 4WD.
Are the rear suspensions on 2WDs and 4WDs the same?
Also I can't find any pictures of one installed. I can't use one that will interfere with the Mag-Hytec diff cover.
I hear that the Roadmasters are thicker, instal easier and have a better geometry setup than the Helwigs for the Ram, best of all they are cheaper
