Front Ends - Especially Dodge

I read that Dodge pickup trucks are notorious for having problems with the front end, but spending $2000-$3000 every 2 years on front ends seems insane.

What's your experience with this problem? Especially on the vehicle you use to haul your TC?

When we drove our “new” 2002 Dodge 2WD (with 18k miles) carrying a Northern Lite 10-2 from Idaho to Denver, we were afraid to drive over 55 mph because of the loose front end. I bought a kit to reinforce the front end and had it installed. The kit was less than $200, as was the installation. That solved the problem. We now have around 40k miles and still no problem. I don’t recall the details about the kit but I can look for that information if it’s something you might want to consider.
