I'm about to rebuild my steering and front suspension new parts and bushings. Also CV axles. Does anyone have any advice on which parts I should upgrade and what is fine staying OE quality? Also looking at adding the 1 ton idler arm bracket and a steering stabilizer.

 

I was going to suggest a steering stabilizer and the 1ton idler arm upgrade but you already mentioned them! I have the brakcet and parts d
for the 1ton idler arm but have not installed them yet.

New axles will come with neoprene boots that are more flexible than the originals.

Otherwise Proforged or Moog brands should be considered.

Are you going to do a suspension lift? If so, then different upper control arms might be warranted.

 

Not doing a suspension lift at the moment just giving the truck the love the previous owners didnt

 

Where are you planning on getting the bracket from?

 

Also do you have a picture of what it looks like?

 

I got it from here: https://www.outfitterdesign.com/1-to...m-bracket.html

 

Damn thats the same place I check3d and it's saying they are out of stock unfortunately. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of it would you?

 

Here ya go. I hadn't put it back in the garage yet which meant it was easy to find. I got it with a bare metal finish but I since painted it. I think I'll likely be installing it this spring sometime.

I've attached the installation instructions too.

 

Thats awesome thank you so much for all the pictures and the install guide 🙂 ill have to phone them to see if they know when they will be getting more of them in stock cause my steering is a little messed up haha

 

You are very welcome. I hope they have them available soon for you.
