[QUOTE="jmh78, post: 665788, member: 992"] [b]Re: Tow rig Suspension (4th Gen Dodge)[/b] When I rebuilt my fourth gen from a wreck I really wish I would have just put a new super duty front axle under it. The dodge axle ended up being bent and I had Ryan retube it to correct bend and put Carli ball joints in. I feel like Would have been much better off with the super duty axle. The carli ball joints have about 20k on them and seem fine so far. The geometry between the upper and lower ball joint really looks screwed up and I think is a major contributor to the pre mature ball joint failures. Note also my truck was not hit hard at all in the front and the tube bent. Sounds like it is pretty common and easy to bend them. The ram 4500 and 5500 had a different axle under them up front and may be another good option. [/QUOTE]
