Suspension Question
I have been having some really bad luck with my truck lately. I left my truck at the air port valet and when i returned a week later and drove it home my allignment was extreemly off and the truck was very dangerouse to drive. To drive straight the wheel was at almost 45* angle and if i would touch the brakes the truck would pull really hard the left. I took it into my local 4 wheeler shop and they said i need new leaf spring bushings all around because they were cracked or damaged, upper and lower ball joints on one side and a new nuckle on that side as well. I am very annoyed and almost seriously was planning on fixing it and selling my truck and getting a '05 6.0 fx4(yes 6.0) with a stock suspension. My dad talked some sense in me and told me not to abandon my truck and to keep my 7.3. So now I want to beef up my steering/suspension so if someone has to drive my truck again this can't happen. I have been thinking about replacing the same stuff that went out on the otherside so that all ball joint/nuckles are new all around and getting the AGR Rock Ram system and some kind of duel crossover steering.
Anyone using the AGR Rock Ram or have any recomendations? I'm going to call the guy at the shop in a 1/2 hour and ask his advice too.
Thanks.

i hear the rock ram steering is awesome. just very pricey but a definate must when running 40" tires. how many miles are on your front suspension? currently you dont have crossover steering?

i would say i have around 40 thousand miles on my suspension and almost 100k on the truck. i got a message from the guy helping me at the shop and he said the Rock Ram is good but i will still have issues with my powersteering and he says they can build me a sick crossover steering system and do somthing else to help with the geometry of the lift. I missed his call and haven't spoke with him yet today but hes going to call me back in a little bit with a plan and pricing. if you want check out this LINK of a topic I posted a while ago regarding previous problems I had.
I want to "fix" my steering problems the right way so I don't have to spend tons of money to repair down the road.
