No.Did you already have the old drag link welded by chance?

You'd be wrong.
Also, it's a PW, doesn't need "drop gimmicks"
It broke on this. Does that look beyond the range of motion?
It's just a weak ****** design. Folds over like a pretzel.
I sure hope you're being facetious. Because on your own post you mention rock crawler.
It didn't just break because it's a ****** design as you claim.
You can see it’s bent after the adjuster. That was most likely from an impact like dropping a wheel to hard.
Don't even waste the time arguing. No way 39s will ever fit either[emoji23]It is a ****** design. And booger welding the adjustment nut is a ****** fix.
Dropping a wheel? What does that even mean?

This is it, bent. All it took was force. I'm not actually the only guy who has had this happen. If you go over to the PW Registry, this has happened a number of times.
I know it's not a problem for you guys at the mall.
My posts are to emphasize, that if you are spending $300 you might as well buy a superior product and go aftermarket and attempt to get RAM to pay for it.
Or make nonsensical arguments with me. It's your time and money.

Vehicle Objective:
The purpose of this build is to support our family of four, in both on and off-road adventures. The rig needs to serve a multi-purpose role of towing regularly and handling overnight off-road adventures. We're seeking a compromise between capable trail rig, tow rig and rock crawler.
Good luck fellas! So I refused to let them break the old nut, replace it with a new one, and weld it again (they already had three tries to get the steering wheel straight). I called FCA to start a case number and the guy tells me that is the fix and he will not open a case. Then he tells me he will transfer me up the ladder and actually puts me on with the dealer! Ha.
At this point I’m done with this whole ordeal. The dealer continues to call me because they had the nut overnighted and they want to get this fixed. I don’t respond. About a week later I get a call stating the new drag link is in. They give me a rental car for the day plus change the oil and filter while they put the new assembly on. No charge for anything and they tell me thanks for letting them fix the problem. I have no clue what just happened, but I think I’m happy???????
I was notified today that my reimbursement has been approved. I had a local shop install the updated Mopar drag link, and do an alignment. FCA is reimbursing me for the whole thing. About $400.Did you already have the old drag link welded by chance?

Was just thinking. My son bought a 2018 2500 with 6000 miles on it last summer and the weld was already done. He got new K02s at 13,000 miles cause he kept getting stuck at the jobsites with the factory Firestones. Anyway, he had the shop do an alignment on it when they put the new tires on. He got the printout from the before and after and they definitely made changes. Point is, they did an alignment with the drag link welded.
+1Sure you can do the alignment with the nuts welded, the drag only affects the steering wheel (not the actual wheel alignment).
With that said if after they align it and your steering wheel is not centered any more you will not be able to fix that. Don't know about you but an off center steering wheel drives me absolutely nuts! I would lose my mind if I had to drive around with it crooked all the time.

I'm the same way. An off center steering wheel would keep me up at night...lol. My son has put 26,000 miles on his truck since late July when he bought it so guessing his is still centered or he would have mentioned it. I actually test drove it before he bought it and it was centered then or I would have noticed it and it was already welded at that point.Sure you can do the alignment with the nuts welded, the drag only affects the steering wheel (not the actual wheel alignment).
