Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I did allot of asking around before getting one and it seemed you couldn't get a real answer for the few that had bought it. Well after my purchase I will say if you are contemplating it like I was, Do It! It's is allot of money to fork out for a stabilizer but once I installed it I could tell even before driving the truck that this was a well thought out stabilizer. The shock itself is longer and attaches 5 inches closer to the driver side of the truck making the cross bar it attaches to more stable and less likely to pivot or roll back and forth at the tie rod ends. The alignment of the new shock is parallel to the ground and not cocked like the OEM Unit. It's Zink plated and matches the 5100's so rust should not be a problem from rock chips unlike the cheaper painted shocks.
The test drive was to be expected nothing but satisfaction here. After installing the 33x13. 50 tires on my truck a week ago it became more sensitive to the feel of the road. I would grasp the wheel with both hands when I saw a pothole ahead. I now drive the truck with one finger again with no worries. The only adjustment I had to make was to let some nitrogen out of the shock as it comes charged at 200 pounds. This would of been the right charge from my old 1500 with 35's as it pulled to the right. My truck tracked straight before and had no right hand pull so I found 125 PSI in the shock tracked straight.
Overall I would say If your contemplating, Do It! This is very cheap insurance and might just get you or me out of a sticky situation some day.
