Thuren or upgraded Dodge steering ?'s

I'm putting together a list of things I'll need to do soon and my front end is first and foremost. Steering is starting to get a bit sloppy. Here's my list.

1- Nitto Dura Grapplers in 285/75R17's
2- Adjustable track bar (not sure which one yet)
3- DSS type steering stabilizer (not sure either)
4- Ball joints and u-joints and possibly an EMS hub replacement.
5- Either the upgraded steering from Dodge or Thuren's setup
I'm not happy that the upgraded Dodge unit has no zerk fittings for grease AND not sure about Thuren's with Heim joints. How would the heim's do in winter with all the salt spray? Would they last as long as a greasable joint???
Any opinions appreciated. probably won't do this until winter or early spring.

You can get the upgraded steering from Source Automotive with zerks. But I would go with Thurens steering, everybody that has his steering says its so much better and feels tighter.

Source retrofits zerks on them. Call Thuren. He'll discuss the pros and cons of the steering options.

Don will steer you right. (no pun intended) He's not going to lie about what would be better just to make buck either. He's an honest man and I would trust what he says.
