OK I have a 2007 ram 1500 4x4 with 60k I just recently put a 2" leveling kit (bds) and a zone 3" body lift, got the truck aligned by the dealer and shortly after I noticed a slight loseness or slop from side to side wondering if anyone else has had this or how to fix it the passenger tie rod was just replaced before alignment and also do the make any kind of steering dampener system or a drop system for the sway bar not fond of the angle the leveling kit has it in
