So I completed my Thuren front end leveling (did the springs , the track bar and Fox shocks) yesterday. Much improved ride and love the truck being level now!

What would you guys recommend for the rear (if anything) to improve the ride even more? I plan to leave the rear at stock height.

Also another related question. My drag link had apparently been "fixed" with a weld of the bolts. I had to adjust the drag link by cutting the weld. After alignment should I just re-weld the bolts or would you suggest a real fix by replacing the Drag Bar mechanism? Ram should pay to have it correctly fixed , right??

I highly recommend doing thuren in the rear as well. @Nick@GotExhaust can get you set up with a rear package and their front swaybar. I also recommend their steering stabilizer

The weld on the drag link should be re welded. Or you can purchase the new style drag link

So I was kinda hoping there was hope for getting Ram to pay for the newer style drag link - seems kinda crazy to have to weld it everytime it needs adjusting!

Thuren and ICON are my top choices. Message me if you would like to discuss options and pricing.

If welded properly it should only take 5 minutes. You’ll be replacing it anyway by the time you need another alignment that needs to straighten the wheel
