Put in the Soild Steel stuff on the front end last night. Wow what a difference, I have responsive steering. Its going to take some time to get used to now

They look so out of place . . .

 

They did such a good quality powdercoat job that they'll look out of place for many years to come.

I'm glad they weren't Red


I'm really happy with how this stuff worked out.

 

If your results are anything like mine, you can now take your concentration off the road for a few seconds and not have the rig end up in the next lane

 

Where did you get the track bar?

 

what was the cost of everything?

 

adjustible track bar conversion and bracket came from them too. good for up to 3" or 4" of lift. I don't know if I'm allowed to say what I paid for them without catching trouble.

will this work on a 02?

 

You bet, this stuff is specifically for '94-'02 trucks. in '03 DC changed the factory trackbar.

 

cool.....I just had the entire front end replaced including the box.....used car warranty (never sell a used truck to a teck lol) but she still seems to want to wander......not like she did but I am going to look into this

 

If you've got a new box I'd add the DSS as well to keep it in good shape. The additional bearing supports all the side load on the sector shaft. and doesn't let the lower bushing in the box wear out. And the trackbar.....my balljoint was fubar'd so the 3rd Gen style trackbar upgrade was like night and day. with a hard rubber bushing at either end my truck is pretty tight now. I replaced both driverside balljoints and the unit bearing. So its doing much better now with the upgrades as well.

 

I'll let you know that this POST just cost me over $500.
I just ordered the DSS from PSC (its on sale there) and the Thuren track bar from Thuren industries for my 1996 Dually.

My Duallies streering and front end handling is literally all over the place. I already have the DSS on my 04 and it is great.

 

You'll love the Thuren Bar Justin...talk about beefy!!

I still need to put on the DSS!
