Installed SoildSteel brace last night!

Wow what a friggin difference. It is like night and day how most people have explained. I do have a little pull to the right but that is due to the need of a front end alignment. The truck is alot more stable and solid, without all of the play it had before. When you guys that don't have one get an extra 165 dollars and 1 hour on your hands do it because it will be the best investment ever. Anyhow have a wonderful evening to everyone. Aaron

jman,

I don't know where Navarre is, but I hope you are safe. If I wasn't half way across the country, I'd bring my chainsaw and help.

I gotta get me one of them.

165 isn't a whole lot of $$ for what it accomplishes.

Is this wandering problem mainly with 4X4 trucks?
I don't really notice a lot of sway accept when pushing high speeds towing a Large trailer. 12' high & 15K lbs. I get a little sway then. I try not to do that very often.
Also anyone use the Dodge Track Bar Bracket. Ive got some rattles in the front end and if I end up dealing with the track bar I may want to do the bracket and install the 03 trackbar.
