Thuren front coils, shocks, track bar and control arms
Thuren makes GREAT stuff
Both he and Sage Carli were part of a forum we had at back called DTX - Dodge Trucks Extreme. It was when their businesses were just getting started.
I leaned toward Carli and Sage used my truck (along with many others) to test a lot of their product prior to going on sale.
Some fun: I was once tasked to find the limits of their 2.0 “Commuter” Kings and Bilstein 5160 shocks, on my Ram on 35’s LOL
Don showed up at one of our Glamis trips with a prototype cantilever rear that he developed. I don’t think it ever got to market but it was pretty legit

yep good quality products. Now I’ve replaced everything on the front end and it stills drives like crap lol. I’ve done EMF balljoints, Timken bearings, new brake discs and rotors, axle shaft u joints, steering linkage, steering box brace. Also did one piece 5” aluminum driveshaft, methods, and new 35s.
Wander. I think the steering box is not good and the dealer over tightened the box. It pulls left sometimes right other times. Drives much better now after thuren. I actually loosened the box a bit and that helped.What are you experiencing that’s crappy?

I have the Thuren track bar. Didn’t make a difference. Aligned to Thuren specsCheck this out…my bet is track bar for wander.
Steering stabilizer might be shot, causing randomness in direction of pull.
08.5-12 RAM 2500/3500 4X4 FRONT END UPGRADE KIT - T STYLE
Ram's pedigree - great motors, great frames, lacking front ends. "Death Wobble" has been synonymous with the Ram HD platform for far too long - not anymore! The most common front end drivability/stability issues in the Ram platform stem from the design of 3 factory components: Track Bar, Ball...carlisuspension.com
If your box is on its way out, Red Head makes very good steering boxes. I killed my factory box at around 50k miles…Red Head box was still stout at 110k-ish miles when I sold the truck…which I regret to this day.

That sucks, you'd think GM would have put a super strong unit on those transmissions given all the vehicles they put them in. I want to do a little upgrading on the 5.3 so I'll be replacing mine too. The stock convertor won't cut it with a horsepower increase so may as well get it over with. Just hate messing with the trans, might end up paying a speed shop to do it, I'm getting too old for this crap, lol.I got to replace a failing torque converter on my 6L80 last week…before it failed completely and took the test of the tranny with it

If it calls for premium, that's what I'd run in it.Gas prices are stupid and I don't want to be the same so, a little help please?
What could happen if I ran 89 octane gas in my high octane inline 4 bike with 13:1 compression?
Obviously I'll simply ride less if the risk is too high.
