Tech Notes & Fitment

• Year splits: 2003–2005 vs 2006–2007 steering variations exist—match parts by build date and steering design.
• 6-bolt conversions: A 6-bolt box upgrade and brace can noticeably reduce play; verify pitman arm compatibility.
• Alignment matters: After installing track bars, tie rod ends, or control arms, get a professional alignment.
• Lifted trucks: Choose shocks/track bars matched to your lift height; re-torque hardware after heat cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What actually cures “death wobble” on a 3rd-gen?

Start with a tight track bar and bushings, add a steering box stabilizer or brace, then address worn tie rod/drag link ends and ball joints. A quality stabilizer helps but won’t mask loose parts.

Is the Mopar 6-bolt steering box upgrade worth it?

For trucks with play at the wheel, the 6-bolt kit (68170214AB) plus a brace can significantly improve on-center feel. Confirm pitman arm spline/sector compatibility.

Which shocks should I pick for towing vs off-road?

Bilstein 5100 are great all-rounders. Choose part numbers for your exact lift (stock, 0–2.5", 4–5"). For big lift/off-road packages, see performance options in the category.

Can I run larger tires with a simple leveling kit?

Yes—use a quality leveling kit, verify caster, and pair with correct shocks and sway control (e.g., Hellwig 7895) to keep manners tight.

Do I need air springs for heavy trailers?

Air helpers keep the truck level and stable under load. See Air Lift 57295 or Firestone 2299; add wireless control with Firestone 2848.
