    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.

      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!!!

    I have been running Synergy steering for a little over 3 years on a lifted truck running 37" tires. The rod ends cannot handle the larger tires and steeper angles. I have to replace the proprietary rod ends at least once per year. I regret spending money on the Synergy kit. I'm switching to a cross over steering set up with hiems rod ends.

    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. 😮

    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
