Best T-link steering kit

I would like to change to the T-link steering for my dodge. I have replaced the normal front end components about 3 times in 70K miles so T-link sounds to be beefier and better at preventing wear and the familiar "death wobble" that comes with worn steering components.

Any suggestions for T-link steering kits without breaking the bank?

the part number you are looking for is 52122362AL (the AL is the latest and greatest version do not buy a previous version as they recalled more than one of them) you will also need a new steering damper and possibly a new pitman arm. Let your fingers do the looking on the net. I previously found when looking for it quite a range of prices 275 was the lowest and the highest was well over 500. You will find that some of the kits come with a pitman arm and steering damper so make sure to compare apples to apples. Some aftermarket companies are also offering the kits drilled and fitted with zerk fittings

The best without breaking the bank too badly is synergy.

I am on the same hunt.
Need some new linkage, I am at 135kmiles and still on the original stuff.

Synergy looks cool.

Has anyone had experience with the kits from dodgeoffroad.com?
Seems legit.

I also need to figure out how to make my throughshaft damper mount to whatever solution I get.

I had looked at those before I bought the synergy, and I talked to a guy in town that runs a 4x4 shop, and I asked him about these, and he said for an everyday driver you dont want the linkages with heim joints,due to dirt and road debris getting in the joints. He said they were more desinged for rock crawlers. He recommended synergy

Synergy recommends a replacement Mopar Pitman arm.
Does anyone know why?

I went the Luke's links route and have over 100 thousand miles with no problems. I only had 50 thousand and had a bad joint.

Late reply,
I went with the Dodge Off Road Full Heim Joint setup.
It is very very nice. Likely indestructible.
Heims are not greasable, so we will see on wear life. But are easily replaceable when they wear.
