I think i may just drill and tap a chunk of solid steel, put a heim on each end and bolt it where my ss goes. Should stop all wobbles.

I've had both, don't waste your money. The control I get of my heavy ass set up on the street is MILES apart going Ram Assist. Do it right the first time and apply that $450 to the Ram, you will be happy you did!

Fox ATS!!! I run it thanks to some great advice from my local Midas! I run two connected to the bar that is connected to both tires and one on the bar that goes from the passenger side fist to the man arm pit on the driver side. Believe me, much better than stock!!!!!! No more DW!!!!!

If that's all it took to cure your DW...you got of very lucky! But it's a Band-Aid fix. There are bigger issues going on and in time they will rear their ugly heads. Be forewarned.....a SS no matter what brand or how much you pay for it is EVER going to fix DW.

OP....as has already been suggested....used that $400+ and put it towards hydro assist. Money well spent and definitely on my short list. I'll likely be going the Redneck Ram route myself, as I've had the opportunity to experience it for myself. Went on a shakedown run with a buddy after installing his and it's night and day better! Got his steering bound up in some rocks with 37's with both axles locked and was able to turn the steering wheel with my pinky.

I second this. I went the full PSC hydro assist kit route and love it. I used to play college/pro ball and was fighting the steering in the rocks and finally said enough. Couldn't be happier - turns the wheels with a pinky now, locked, unlocked, bound up, doesn't matter - PSC pushes right through it.

I wheel with some guys who have the Redneck Ram and WTO and both seem to work fine.
