Hey all, I am going to basically redo my whole front end. I'm tired of wishy-washy steering and all the other crap that comes with it. I got onto RockAuto to start getting a parts list, and there is a TON of options (like 38.5 tapered vs. 40mm non-tapered) and I have no idea which one to get without pulling all the parts off first. Ideally I would like to have ball joints, tie rod ends, adjusting sleeves, pitman, trackbar, etc. ready to go rather than ordering it after being pulled off.

1) Does anyone have a list of part numbers from doing this on their truck.

2) Is this overkill. I'm know my ball joints are bad, same with track bar, the rest I figure wouldn't be a bad idea to take care of with the suspension disassembled.

If you don't know the specific part #'s is there a reference I could lookup with my VIN or other vehicle specific code that would give me what I need?

Thanks for the help.

BTW, just in case not all 2500's have 'em, I've got the Dana 60 front axle, let me know if there is other info needed that I didn't provide.

 

As far as track bar....the 3rd gen upgrade is a great improvement. I bought mine from Rip at www.sourceautomotive.biz Lukes Links sells a complete rebuild kit that gives you new tie rod ends for the whole front end for $200....including track bar link in the kit. I noticed a big improvement after replacing the steering column bushing with the rock solid ram kit. Just some ideas.

 

send me a pm with your email that i can add an excel attachement too.
I made a sheet for when i compared pricing and availability a month ago when i did mine. all NAPA AND MOOG #s, shoulod reference easily.
