Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Front end suspension

[Garrett2500]

I have to replace pretty much everything in the front end. Ball joints, tie rods and suspension rod etc. Wanted to know if there is better replacement parts or upgrade I can do. Also where can I get the parts cheap. I know nothing on a 1999 2500 is cheap. Just replaced injector pump. Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks

Mark

I replaced all my tie rod ends with the lukes link and have been happy with that so far. Plus they can be rebuilt in time.

I run a Thuren trac bar, PSC steering box and pump, Solid Steel box brace, and Napa supplied drag link and tie rod. All joints are greaseable. and the Thuren can be rebuilt.

Be sure to use Moog Ball joints. Moog makes a really good Better than OE balljoint. I know Carquest and Bumper to bumper carry them.

Just a note, heim joints are not DOT approved. If your looking at that bulletproof setup keep that in mind. If you want to increase the strength of your components significantly because you abuse your junk you might want to look to Offroad Designs. I run their links on my Jeep and couldn't be happier. I run 3/8ths wall DOM links with 1 ton rod ends and hydraulic assist. Haven't bent one yet.
