Looking for input from those of you who are steering/front end smart.
I have been considering upgrading the steering components on my burb. Been wondering if K3500 4wd IFS parts are heavier, or the same as the K2500 4wd IFS?
I see adapters on the front hubs for those 1 ton+ wheels but the rest of the parts look like they interchange.
How about a real strong idler arm, or?
Super heavy duty steering box needed too.
Now comes a product called Bullet/Rock proof which is actually tie rods and ends custom built in different strenght levels, price around $400. I am seriously considering this upgrade, but I am thinking the rest of the steering should be upgraded to complement the tie rods and ends.
Also, I am running just under an additional 175 lbs over the front end w/bumper and winch so I was wondering what shock to go to? I had bought a triple shock setup from an aftermarket vendor only to find out that I need to lift the truck 6+" for this setup to fit. This ^&%%#$ vendor would not take the setup back even though he swore it woud fit the stock height of my k2500, not!
Any thoughts?
