I took my steering stabilizer off of my 3/4 ton, I was painting it or cleaning it for some reason, anyway I was riding through my neighborhood and when the truck hit a small pot hole, the front end began to shake violently, it continued for about 20 yards, as I slowed the shaking continued until the truck stopped completely, I had to fight it to keep it on the road. I went home and put the steering atabilizer back on it. My friend had told me about a similar prob. he was having with his 1500, once he put the lift on it he couldnt drive it, the shaking was too bad, he put a steering stabilizer on it and it was fine. When my was shaking I thought my wheel was coming off the truck or the axle had broke, it was pretty scary. I wouldnt suggest driving a lifted ram without the stabilizer.
