01 Surb 2wd, 3/5 McGaughy's drop kit, Spohn rear links, 22" snowflakes....
I rebuilt the entire front end in March. Everything minus the center link and steering box. Haven't been happy since. I used decent stuff, some pricer MEVOTECH parts from Rockauto, and ac delco tie rods. Replaced pass inner tie rod a couple months ago, now the drvr side inner is leaking grease. The worst has been the sway bar links. They require constant tightening, otherwise they're popping under braking and turning. Last two days leaving work, I've gotten this weird steering shake, just like a death-wobble, but only at 30mph or so after hitting a bump.
So I'm going to redo everything that needs it. First step was going to be H2 upgrade tie rods, Fabtechs probably, and the Cognito Idler/Pitman braces. But not a single tie rod manufacture lists any 1500 vehicle. I think the center link/inner tie rod threads might be larger on the HD's/H2? Is that why?
Are they any specific upgrades for 1500 trucks? I can't find anything that isn't the same chinese looking parts.
