06 Cummins Frontend Upgrade?

06SuperGoat · 01-20-2012, 04:22 PM

I am looking to upgrade my 2006 dodge ram 2500 front end to the 08 version. I was wanting some advise. I have talk to one person about it but wanted more opinions. Please let me know. I already have the BD steering stabilizer on it now.

Did you do the upgrade

I did it. it was cake. 1 hour, and 75 percent of that was trying to knock old steering off. When you take your old off, lie it next to he new one and make sure your tie rod is same length, same for the drag link.

Its the drag link and tie rod. Drag link goes from pittman arm to passenger side knuckle....and the tie rod connects driver and passenger side knuckles. It comes together already with tie rod ends screwed in.

Ok thanks. Was just making sure it wasn't any hard parts like steering box and more. Does it make a big difference or noticeable difference? or just stronger or? thanks again.

It made a very noticeable diff. Tighter steering. My box, I replaced today, just made the world of a difference.
