I agree 100% with tires...I just went to great lengths to install load range H 19.5's on my Dodge.
The brace Caleb installed...all it does is keep the steering box shaft from having enough leverage to destroy the steering box. It's not supposed to fix anything other than fixing a poor design.
The best single improvement a guy can make on a second gen is installing a BD adjustable track bar kit & eliminate the ball type joints that wear out every 15k miles...it'll fix the front end problems these trucks have for good but at $500...they're pricey.
I've heard of guys that do lots of highway driving getting descent miles out of a stock Moog trackbar but anyone that lives in town...may as well keep a few new spares in the garage if you don't install the BD kit :)
Here's a link to the kit.
