Been using the Defiant shaft support on my truck for about 2 years now, made a small difference with how the truck feels, tracks better. Chose Defiant because their support tucks up nicely behind the front bumper and is almost invisible, super easy to instal.

I have the DSS and only because I have destroyed on box already. I put the DSS on hoping it keeps my new Steering box together. The truck had a slightly more solid feel to it after the instal but I wouldn't say its magic.

I just put on new E rated rubber and Bilstine shocks in and my truck is better than new and no wandering now. Tires and shocks can make the truck steer like it should.
