Shocks 08 Ram 2500 W/trx4 package
Hello to all,
I am new to Ram trucks having owned Chevys in the past I thought I would buy a Dodge this time. 3 years ago I bought a extremely clean 2008 Ram 2500 ST 5.7L quad cab with the trx4 Package. I love the truck wish I had tried Dodge sooner.
That being said, I had a seriously freighting event taking a curve @ 70mph. I hit a pot hole in the road, not a very big one, and experienced what I later found out is called a "DEATH WOBBLE" I was in the far left lane on a four lane highway and finally regained control and found myself almost going into the guard rail 3 lanes to my right.
I wanted to install the Dynatrac Hub Conversion kit anyway so I decided to rebuild the entire front suspension and get ball joints and tie rod ends and so on with greaseable parts. What an Idea!!!
I have, however, hit a dead end when it comes to Shocks for the front because of the TRX4 package. Dodge provided me with a part number "05134155AC" and then told me he couldn't get them. They have been "Discontinued". I have been tiring to find the spec's for them and have had no luck. I have tried to find a cross reference for that part number and again have had no luck. I cant be the first to have encountered this problem so can some one point me in the right direction?
