I just bought a 2013 dually and Im looking for the best way to level the front. ive been all over the sites looking for whatever will keep me from having the dodge death wobble. I didn't do any research about the suspension I assumed it was identical to the 2012. don thuren told me that my truck had radius arms. im trying to figure out if I just put leveling pucks in the front with I have the death wobble? or do I still need the adjustable trakbar and possible stearing stabilizer? thanks for any info.

Reverse level . there is no death wobble

do you mean lower the rear? im looking forward to getting some bigger tires under it. lowering the rear isn't really an option for me although I have put a little thought into that.

Just adding the pucks will probably do it. Only thing you may run into is castor issues. I don't know if they make anything to lengthen the lower link

You will be fine with a 2 inch coil spacer. No other changes needed. Dont let all the dw threads scare you.

I was kinda thinkin if the spring in a 12 is still the same basic dimensions and rate of a 13 wouldn't the thuren springs work instead of pucks?? I really wanna keep my smooth ride.

Try the $65 spacer 1st. I bet it will still ride good.

what im worried about is the truck "crabbing" down the road and eventually having issues with stearing or ride quality. I just want to do it rite. I want to make sure im not gona put anything in a bind.

You could get an adjustable track bar. But its not needed at 2'

on my 08 I had 2.5" spacers it had steering and death wobble problems. don't wanna go there again specially with a brand new truck.

Trac bar, steering box stabilizer helped a lot on my truck. I've never had DW but I wanted to do everything to prevent it too.

You are comparing a 08 to a 13, not even the same trucks at any level. You will be fine with a spacer or coils. If you go with 3" coils get longer shocks. I recommend DT Pro Fab for the steering box brace. Nice truck! Post up some pics of it in the Dually thread.
Good Luck

Yep the steering stabilizer will be a necessity for me. Possible a track bar but il see if the stabilizer will work first. And yea I understand the three link on my 13 is different than my 08 but since I had sold that truck two years ago I quit payi g attention to the new ones so I didn't know any of the changes made

It looks pretty much the same as a super duty. The radius arms are a little different but it's the same idea

that's what I gather and that's my worry. I went from 08 cummins to a 2010 powerstroke and I had massive problems with the suspension and steering. the steering gear box shattered twice and the truck was involved in four wrecks within six months...all the wrecks were caused by shattered gear boxes or tie rods sheering off. I had a 2" leveling kit installed on it and nothing else. im scared il end up in the same position. it was an extrememly bad couple of months. needless to say I now drive dodges all day everyday. 98.5 flat bed 2012 service truck and my new dually. and I wouldn't trade any of em for a ford of any kind.

Dang.. That's some bad luck
