08 or later steering on an 03?

I stumbled across this article and I was wondering if any of you guys have tried this conversion. Does it just bolt up and is it worth doing?

Thanks, Coop

It is a direct bolt up job. Works great on my '03. The kit comes with everything from new pitman arm all the way to the nuts and bolts for the new damper. Best deal I have found on this kit was from www.moparsupercenter.com

Its worth it. mopar supercenter is the place to go. I did this along with new ball joints, sway links and a steering brace and OMG. I can let go of the wheel and she tracks straight ahead now. The feel is so much better too.

I'm doing ball joints and found outer tie rod ends are bad. I'll look into this.
