Hey all... My son bought a 98.5 about a year ago. He brought into a shop for something (can't remember) and they dropped a bomb ... but said otherwise... runs fantastic. I haven't been keeping up to date with things... So, I'm here asking for guidance/recommendations as far as making sure he gets/uses quality parts... please.
I don't know what a PCS BIG BORE GEARBOX is. Is this good? Is Redhead still a good or a better choice? Should he go with Dodge Off Road steering brace as well?
What track bar should he go with? Dodge Off Road?
Shocks? Bilsteins still a great choice? Which model? Stock height...
Are all ball joints created equal?
Does this quote seem reasonable?
