2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Looking For a Steering Stabilizer For A 2001

[CrewCabDiesel]

After doing a search, and then calling Rancho, I have yet to find a source for a Steering Stabilizer for my 2001 3500 4X4. I was basicly told by Rancho that they don't make one because there is not a lot of call for them . So are is there anyone else making them for the 2001 3500 and are they better than factory?

Hmmm...



I have a Rancho RS5404 on the front of my 2001 4x4



The only problem was the tapered stud on one end. It only fits the earlier Rams, but I shimmed it and it's been working well for around 2 years.



Oh yeah, if your wondering how I could have a 2 year old part on a 2001...



Ordered Dec 1999

Delivered May 2000

Title says its a 2001



Go figure...

The 3500s use a different size stabilizer than the 2500s according to Rancho. I would guess the steering components are heaver in the 3500.

I done the same

as Dane on my 2001 and my dads 2002 trucks.



They both have the same front trac bar the only difference is the IAD(InterAxle Disconnect).

Call these guys they have the Rancho stableizer your looking for and they also cary the skyjacker dual which I used in replace of my Rancho. The Rancho # above is the same one I have sitting in the garage. The skyjacker is real nice but as stated it did take a little modification. Good luck... ... ...

I used the Rancho 5054 stabilizer. I re-used the tapered stud from the original stabilizer. Cut the loop and pry it open, then cut the old bushing off. Then lots of silcone spray a 5lb sledge and acouple of good wacks and presto you have the right stud on your new stabilizer.

This is one of those things you hope someone else does first.
