Thanks for this bro. I ordered the rough country steering stabilizer a couple days ago and I feel it necessary to order this as soon as Im dont typing. My 2007 dodge ram 3500 on 37" has so much play that I feel like I will get pulled over for a DUI every time I hit the highway. Great install. I will refer back to this vid when I get ,mine in the main. Respect.
I bought a 2016 Dodge 3500 cab and chassis model and I installed a dynamic self loader and my steering wheel I noticed a month ago was crooked and yesterday I was under there changing my oil and I noticed the drag link nuts were way backed off after watching your video and a few others I’m lucky to be sitting here messaging you and I’m get ready to buy this kit also!! Thanks bro 👍
I have just ordered this brace for my '12 2500. I live in Nebraska where they use tons of salt on the roads each year. I plan to orient the grease fitting to the rear and install a rubber cap on it to attempt to minimize the possibility of water intrusion into the bearing grease zerk.
I bought this two weeks ago ..installed it last weekend...I am not a mechanic.I barely know the difference between crescent wrench and a monkey wrench...I was done in a hour and half...it took me a half hour to get a block to hold the sway bar up...I had steering wheel play 11 to 1, maybe a little more...it is gone ...my 06 dodge diesel with 249 thousand miles drives like a new truck...very happy. Also I ordered it direct from the company...had notification it shipped that afternoon. Had it in 4 days...cost $130.00....again very happy.....
Awesome, thanks for the Vid explaining the process and for the place to order this - Most other places like red head steering or diesel power products charge $100 more for this setup than the guy you recommend here. - Placed my order right after watching - cant wait to get it installed!
I installed one of these on my 2001 Ram 1500 club cab and it solve all of my wandering issues. I just purchased a new RAM Tradesman 2500 crew cab 4x2 Cummins and currently don’t have any issues with the steering and don’t want any. Ive contacted Don about a kit for this truck and to ask if it would void the factory 5year 60,000 mile warranty. I will definitely install one if he makes one for this truck and there is no warranty issue.
Thanks for the great install video I just ordered the same stabilizer for my 2010 ram 2500. My steering has always been loose with drifting left to right at all speeds. After adding a leveling kit with 35” tires it got much worse. I did replace the steering gear box which helped remove about an inch of play in the steering wheel but the drifting still occurs. I’m also having some bouncing issues from 35mph and up and I can’t figure out what’s causing that? The track bar bushings are in good shape and it’s tight. Any suggestions?
Great and informative video. Are you still satisfied with it? Still tight. Looking at a few different brands and the one you installed is the only non square tube design but others are either welded or bolted together.
I have a 2018 Ram 3500 4x4 6.7l Laramie Longhorn Megacab Dually with stock suspension and tires, except for the Fox shocks and Fox steering stabilizer shock. I'm curious if the SGBS is only for lifted trucks or if it is ok to put it on stock suspension trucks as well? Thanks for your opinion.
Hey.. curious... Are there any thoughts about front end alignments prior to this install? I bought a '15 tradesman from a friend, very low miles, but I can tell there is a bit of play in the steering wheel. However at some point I assume he had an alignment, and the steering wheel is not in line, its turned to the right about 15 degrees. It will be due an oil change in the coming months, so I was planning on taking in for the oil change and have the steering wheel angel adjusted back to center. I hope. Would you do this prior to installing this bracket?
These trucks are famous for wandering around the road while driving. It wasn’t until I installed this stabilizer that it stiffened up. Much less play in steering. If I were you I would request the total toe to be 0.00-0.05 for the alignment. This will increase the life of your tires.
Do you have Thuren coils and shocks on all 4? I have all 4 coils and regular white shocks. I experience constant vibrations over the smallest bumps from the front and rear. Your experience?
MOTOR HEAD MOTOR HEAD I have 2.75” Thuren front coils w/overland white shocks; 1” Thuren rear coils w/ overland white shocks. Installed BDS dual steering stabilizer, stiffened up the front, but still getting the vibs in the rear. Thinking mayby a new rear track bar?
I have this brace on my '14 2500. It's been on there for almost 70k miles and it has developed cracks and flexes considerably. I'm currently waiting for Synergy to make more of their braces as I believe their design is far superior. It's a decent brace that will improve steering feel, just don't expect it to last.
@@grantspapa9537 You're right, my guy. I totally lied and posted a fabricated story just so you, with your immense intellectual capacity, could chime in with speculative nonsense and the hope of feeling smart for two seconds. You caught me. 🤯 For those who aren't incredulous meatheads and are interested in learning, here's a pic where you can clearly see the cracks that developed from the brace flexing: drive.google.com/file/d/18tgwYPIVljgoP_XP6yawcUY2ZNORCnKE/view?usp=sharing
The steering gear boxes are junk on most rams. The sector shaft wobbles and causes your steering linkage to work loose. I'm planning in getting one of these myself
careful bought one on ebay andbthebspindle nut was a flared type not lile thenone in this video..it didnt allow the bearing to slide all the way down.. waiting for seller to contact me .2014 ram 2500 diesel

Why do the women around 45 or 50 years of age like the woman at the Auto Parts store have to call EVERYONE..." HUN or SWEETIE "..... I'm 68 and SICK of hearing that Shit....Now when they do it I say I'M NOT your HUN....They sound like their from the TRAILER PARK or Work at Cheap Restaurant...

Thanks rick.
Great install. Thanks just getting ready to start mine. I also added a dual steering stabilizer shocks.
Jim DeLucia I too want the dual steering stabilizer, but is not high enough priority on my laundry list of mods to do right now hahha

Glad to help Billy! Close call...
There’s a recall on this

Great point dercas! Where I'm at, there is no need for road salt lol. Take care off the chassis!

Perfect! Glad the install went well and your enjoying your new-feel ride.
Great video! Thank you! Helped me prep for my install!!
Awesome!
I found a kit on eBay for $50. Went on easy & tightened up the steering nice but didn't fix the death wobble.
Just put one on my 2002 Dodge 3500 . GREAT VIDEO 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! 😎

No problem brother!!!
Thank you for this video, I’m installing one today, 2-11-2022
Nice!
Thx!!! I have the same problem👍👍👍👍👍
After watch your video, I placed an order on the site. The big 3500 need to enhance steering parts!
George C nice! Worth it
Great tutorial, thank you.4
No problem!!

Hard Truth Great. Let us know what you end up doing after contacting him. I just had to install a kit from him at 7k miles to kill the wandering!
Tighter and Stiffer. Hell ya
Hell yeah lol
“Pretty much” a good video
Lol gotcha thanks haha

A single or dual steering stabilizer helped me with what you were describing!
Oh snap! autozone lady puts you in your place! Lol don’t condescend her! 🤣😚but you left gracefully ;)
All good brother haha 😂
I replaced the Steering box in my 01 Dodge but I just ordered the Stabilizer Bar too....It was $ 60 Bucks from eBay...
Right on
Great and informative video. Are you still satisfied with it? Still tight. Looking at a few different brands and the one you installed is the only non square tube design but others are either welded or bolted together.
It is still holding strong. It serves its purpose and is still tight.
I Have a Question for you man,
Will this work on my 6" lifted Ram?
Is a 2015 ?
Great Video By the way man
Not sure brother! I would reach out to the link in the description and ask the business if it will! Let me know what they say!
I have a 2018 Ram 3500 4x4 6.7l Laramie Longhorn Megacab Dually with stock suspension and tires, except for the Fox shocks and Fox steering stabilizer shock. I'm curious if the SGBS is only for lifted trucks or if it is ok to put it on stock suspension trucks as well? Thanks for your opinion.
Good for stock suspension as well
That's the rough country kit.
Pretty sure it sells for around $150
Charles henson They look similar yes, but I can assure you it’s from the website below! They do the same thing.

Could you explain where it developed a crack so I can weld in reinforcement
Not buying this comment, the pressure it would take to flex this would shear the bolts first.
where did it crack?
Are you jumping buses 🚌 with that thing or just running errands?

I don’t blame you. Couldn’t agree with you more, and it only gets worse with larger tires.
AATW brother
Yessir!
How is this mod holding up so far?
Holding up really well. Lubed it up twice so far since install and it's doing great!
@@MotorHead18 How much grease are you applying?
@@zacharysipe3501 I believe it already came greased but, I added enough to see some splurge out a little.
