Alright I called JCwhitney today and asked them about the rough country dual kit and they said it was for the ramcharger, and they didn't really have one for my truck. My question is the ramcharger fronts the same as ours? and do ya think I could get the ramcharger kit to fit on my truck just fine? Or where else is a good place to find a good dual one for a good price for our trucks

The Ramcharger has a Dana 44 front end, 1st gen has a Dana 60. The axle tubes are different sizes and the brackets won't fit.

92, I got the cheaper Borgeson and it works great(I think they make one that replaces the crap rag-joint on our pickups but its like 300+)...night and day difference. I have Skyjacker dual stabilizers on as well, but she goes straight down the road. All I would say is do it right. I have tried to cut too many corners on my truck and always have to re-do it right in the end. Best of luck.

Yeah i haven't heard much good about the boxes from auto parts store. I may just bite the bullet and buy a borgeson one or another good brand named one. Well if I can't get a steering stabilizer for a good deal, then I'll probably just save up for a new box and shaft instead

One off a D44 will fit just fine, The one I'm running came off an 86 shorty 1/2 tonner. Bolted right up.
