off topic here but that confirmed kill could have been me I have one resting at my ranch

 

Well, I went and checked out the front end a little better, and it looks like the tie rods have a little play, and so do the upper ball joints. The steering stabilizer also has a big dent.

So I decided to say screw it and buy all new MOOG everything, and the Superlift dual steering stabilizer kit with Bilstein shocks or the Thuren kit with a single King shock. Anyone have any experience with either of these?

 

pretty sure thuren uses a fox for his stabilizer. you should also check out the bilstein 7100 that carli has with the high mount, should help from denting the new one

 

OK I used superlift 2" springs. I have a buckstop front bumper with no winch on the front, after 2 yrs with said bumper my front end now is lower than with stock springs and bottoms out quite badly when going over speed bumps, railroad tracks or potholes. I would not recomend the less expensive springs if you intend to keep your truck very long. I just got A front end kit from Carli, springs drag link, sway bar links and control arms. Hope it lasts longer than 2 yrs.

 

I finally got all my parts installed today. I ran just the Bilstein shocks for about two weeks and really didnt notice much difference. Today I installed the rest of the parts and I have to say it rides much better with the Kore springs.

Now I just need to take it on the beach. Thanks for the help guys!
