Easy to install and works great but does NOT work with the swaybar.

I installed this on my 2010 Dodge Ram 4x4 Diesel Megacab. Very easy installation, everything went well. Be sure to blast the factory stabilizer bolts with a PB blaster to loosen them (mine was very rusty). I also installed an alignment kit that included a stabilizer washer that lowered the mounting points 1" and moved them forward 1". This caused interference between the bar and the cross member. I had to do an extra 1" spacers to clear it. If I were to do it again I would install the secondary

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Very expensive

I have a new truck! for steering system

I never thought my truck would drive so well. I've had a 2015 RAM 2500 6.7L for 3 years now. I've had Death Swing for a long time. after new ball shock absorbers. got better. After seeing a YouTube clip of the bipod moving from side to side I figured I'd fix this before it became a problem. After 30 minutes in the driveway, I put on the steering strut and hit the road. Unfortunately I live in Pennsylvania where they have no idea what a road is or how to fix it. In my 5 minute drive and potholes

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • negative impression

nice crisp steering response

Installed on a 2016 Dodge Ram with 120,000 miles wanted to install it before my steering components started to fail causing death wobble. Totally different truck now that it's installed, good crisp steering response. I constantly tow 25,000 pounds with a 3 car wedge trailer for my business and it makes a world of difference. It also seems to reinforce the frame rails at the very front of the truck so I'm very happy with the product, it's a very well made heavy duty seam. The powder coating isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Safety

Wandering Truck Fix

The reason I bought this was because after leveling and tightening 35x12.50 my 2014 2500 was constantly wandering and rocking on the road and any imperfections appearing in the road make the steering wheel twitch in one direction or another. I am a welder by trade and have been working with metal for 15 years. I was amazed at the quality of this product. The pipe was heavy gauge and the clamps were 3/16 maybe 1/4, I didn't measure. The welds looked very nice and weren't the pigeon crap youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine

An amazing difference in dampers and steering stabilizers

So we have a little play in the steering wheel from the middle. Not much, but enough to make you feel uncomfortable passing another car on a country road. I did a lot of research and settled on the Rough Country brand. YouTube videos make the installation super easy and the videos to the point, it's an easy install. Installation took me about an hour. Before you begin, read the instructions and get the tools you need to get the job done. Some of the tools required are non-standard sized toolsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A lot of positive emotions
Cons
  • Availability of upgrades

I have a 2008 Diesel 4x4 Dodge Ram Mega Cab that I ordered this part for. The dealer told me my truck was actually a 2008 1/2 and would use 2009 parts. I recently changed the steering gear to an upgraded 2009 and taller heavy duty gear and more traction. The bracket mounting holes on the frame were correct, but the axis of the bipod did not line up with the bracket hole. I called Raf County and spoke to one of their techs and was told they don't actually have one for 2008 with an upgradedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • No Automatic

Essential - Steering Damper and Stabilizer Bars

This product performs well, I didn't expect it to be as big and heavy as when I opened the box. Most reviews advertise easy setup, if I did it a second time I'd agree but the instructions don't really help you set this up - it's a good tricep workout nonetheless. Lying on my back trying to reach my head to raise it, as well as the stabilizer bar to hold them in place and even tightening just one of the screws was a problem for me. I found tips in the forum. to hold up the anti-roll bar (noโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy Construction
Cons
  • Communication with Seller

Use the jack to hold the stabilizer bar after removing the bolts!

My 15 year old son put this on my truck. It takes a little while for the nut to get through the spacer hole, and then "finger tightening" the bolts is a bit of a one man struggle. As you can see in one of my photos, the inner nut on the right side doesn't seem to be in. until the end. I don't know if we screwed it up wrong and then "forced" it, or if it's just not lined up right. I'll have to watch. All other bolts went in with no problem.*I would recommend using a jack to hold the stabilizerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
