The Best 2nd gen Front End and Steering Upgrades

[@phendrix9476]

CJC has been honest with me without pushing me to buy anything. Got an ´01 Dodge 2500 QCLB with EMF BJ‘s, Synergy linkage, Thuren for both the track bar and active sway bar. HUGE difference in ride quality. I also recommend a free spin kit to eliminate the cursed unit bearings.

Just bought the Ultimate 4x4 complete system with tharen and red head steering box! Thanks guys, hope it comes.with a hoodie!

[@CJCOffRoad]

We can make that happen! Shoot us an email reply to your order receipt with your size.

[@jamesvaldez4093]

Did this include suspension parts or just steering parts? I'd like to know cause I'm building a 2nd Gen now and I'm looking to upgrade both suspension and steering. Thanks man!!!

Great video. #1 thing is saftey, much of us care of the truck, #1 thing is you and family is what this buys us. Peace of mind in rain, snow, dry, mud, wet conditiins rely on these updates to the truck's abilty to handle any condition. Especially when Putin is threatening with nuclear war. We should be Best to be prepared for anything. 😮

[@mironkusnecov5728]

I don’t know if it’s the price or the work it takes to install but I have found that the free wheel kit I bought from Yukon fixes a lot of the steering quick wear issues these trucks have. The free wheel kit allows the spindle to spend free from the axle and differential. Getting rid of all of that rotating mass that the steering components has to deal with fixes a lot of the headache. I thought I was having to replace my steering box on my O2 ram 2500 4 x 4, but I decided to install the Yukon kit first. Along with the kit, I changed to the newer, steering tie rod style. Made a huge difference, and I ended up not changing out the box.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! SHE IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL BUILD!!! THANKS FOR SHARING. I LEARNED A LOT!!!

[@tom7894W]

Synergy wasn't available but this has been the greatest improvement in driving my truck!

Nice 2nd gen build love that tire and rim combo. What brand of tires and size are they?

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF SPORT TRUCKS!!!!

[@davidtweedy8036]

I was about to offload(sell) my MINT low mile 99 untill I saw this! Fingers crossed I'm going to try as last resort these ball joints you mentioned first. My whole front end is New trying to correct the steering that I HATE! New 3rd gen everything, red head, BDs steering box support bar, nothing left out. My diesel mechanic said he could fix it with new ball joints! I assume and hope what you mention here is what he suggested, I just wasn't convinced. At the moment I'm not convinced yet. I far prefer my 3 1st Gens 89,90

[@bigmurph68]

Im really liking this build

[@dieselburner4461]

What size tires and wheels on this 2nd gen? Beautiful setup

[@CJCOffRoad]

This truck is on a 37/12.5/17 Toyo MT with 0 offset 7x8.5 wheels.

A black rust converter would have been better than nothing against the new parts. Although, it does look cool in its own way. 🤙

I have an 02 Dodge 2500 Carly control arms the longer ones for a leveling kit that they're in track bar and the rest I'm still on stock unfortunately I was wondering if I could run the aps Fox steering stabilizer with the Carly low mount and a synergies steering bar tie rod

[@CJCOffRoad]

Yes, if you have Synergy steering, you can run any of the compatible stabilizers we list with the linkage: www.cjcoffroad.com/collections/steering-linkage/products/synergy-manufacturing-1994-1999-dodge-ram-2500-3500-heavy-duty-steering-kit

Do you know if this kit fits the 1500s since we have a different axle?

@@CJCOffRoad actually with the 1500s having a Dana 44 axle wouldn't that complicate things since the 2500/3500s are Dana 60/70?

@@Paranoid-loser While the axle is different, the actual mounting for the track bar and steering are the same, so you can use the 2500 parts without modification.
