New truck, have some questions

[Harleygtp]

If I get a steering box brace, won't the sway bar be in the way?

Your good. I got one and have plenty of room.

 

[Harleygtp]

Thanks guys. I ordered some replacement tie rod ends from the local autozone today, should be ready for tomorrow. I'll replace all of those.

 

[Johnn123]

Good deal. Make sure to check your wheel bearings, ball joints and u-joints as well, as bad ones will destroy your new coming 35's which you dont want!

 

[Harleygtp]

Will do! I'm going to change these components and then get the new tires put on. Take off the body lift, and then start to check the other items you mentioned.

 

[Harleygtp]

So I'm going doing a ton of research lately, and have a question.

I know you guys say to get rid of the steering stabilizers, does that mean I don't have any type stabilizer whatsoever?

Yup. No steering stabilizer, all they do is hide problems in your front end.

Looking good man! My buddy has a set of those Trac-Grips theyre nice tires!

 

[Harleygtp]

Good day today, got the sj track bar in, all the drag links and tie rods replaced, sway bar end links replaced, sway bar drop brackets removed and links flipped, everything was hit with fresh grease.

Now just waiting for my dor order and I'll swap out this steering box!

I'll post pictures later.

Looking good man! I bet it handles a lot nicer already...

 

[Harleygtp]

Took it around the block, feels much better.

Good to hear! Once that box goes in and the 35's are on I'm sure you'll be much happier!

 

[Harleygtp]

So, I'm preparing to remove the body lift on the truck, what should I prepare myself for when it comes to modifications that need to be undone?

Fan shroud mount relocation brackets need to be removed
Front bumper mount replaced with stock mounts
Steering shaft needs to be returned to stock length
Shift rod needs to be replaced with stock rod (seems this one has been cut and lengthened for body lift)
Cargo box lift cubes need to be cut out
Rear bumper returned to stock location


What am i missing?

 

[Johnn123]

I think you've got it all there man.
