Anyone have this? How do you like it?



Any suggestions on where to mail order?



Thanks

I have it. You have to mod the kit to make it fit a 2500 (axle tube is larger diameter than a 1500 so you have to weld tabs onto the back of their axle mount and drill holes in them as well as scrounge larger U-bolts). I'm not really impressed with the way it fits on there-it works but it is possible to misinstall it and create a situation through suspension articulation where the steering stays locked full right (don't ask me how I know this! ). In fairness to Skyjacker I'm sure it was an installer error-after I put it back on I have had no problems..... but it's not the best setup in the world IMO. Better wait and see what a few others have to say though because I have been accused of being slightly negative at times.....

Ditto on what Jason said,



Not the best kit in the world, I MADE mine fit, it's worked flawless since installation. Ya gotta wonder why they wouldn't make brackets to fit our trucks.

Why do they sell stuff that doesnt fit right?? What about the Rancho dual kit?

problems

I have the same problems as above, had to get bigger u bolts. Also had to mount a little different than instructions state for clearance reasons etc. . The shaft out of my steering box that the pitman arm bolts to hits the shock on that side, so I had to angle it down a bit. But it still hits when the suspension is twisted. Other than these minor problems I feel it has helped my sloppy front end a little. I think they need to improve the design slightly or come up with something different... ... . Rancho does not make a double for the dodge... ... . and there single does'nt have the right size taper on the bolt... Anyway good luck. Oh and I bought mine from hotrodoffroad.com, cheapest and fastest delivery... ...

I'm not sure of the model number of mine - but it bolted right on my '99 2500. I bought it about a year ago from www.ntwonline.com
