I took a few shots of it installed on my truck for the curious that haven't seen them yet.

 

[Cummins Thunder]

Sweet! And I just put new Moog parts for an 03-07 on my 02. Maybe I can sell them and upgrade again

That second one is not your truck.



Glad to see that you went with the new pitman arm too.

What about the one in the stock location

 

[MickeyMiller]

What's the difference in the pitman arms?

 

[Bob4x4]

The pitman arm has a diff angle as some of our boys found out on a Baja trip :-laf Using the original arm will allow the drag link stud to hit the other tube during compression of the suspension.



The Carli stabilizer for the stock mounting location on the new style steering requires no brackets... ... ... . it simply bolts on in the oe position with the oe hardware

Yes Carli's stabilizer does mount that way, but you must tell them what steering linkage you have. The 08 vs the pre 08 stabilizer is different.

Defiant

Just wondering what was wrong with the defiant products? I was looking at their steering products.

The Diff guard was to bulky and The steering stabilizers are an old design shock-non IFP.

I now have a diff guard that protects as well ,is smaller and I do not loose any ground clearance which is important to me even running 37's

I have not seen that yet so thanks! I like the idea of no toe changes with different loads in the truck. Are these simply oem rods?

Yes all from the factory, don't forget the pitman arm too.

 

[Curious Dave]

Does anyone know if this will work on an '01?

Does anyone know if this will work on an '01? If so... What are the part numbers? Sorry for the repetition.

Does Carli sell a dual stabilizer set up or did you fab that yourself? I have the high mount stabilizer and Carli said to use it and keep the OEM stabilizer in place too but that looks like a better set up.



When I got it installed, the truck wanted to pull to the left (285/75R17 Toyo AT's. ) Carli suggested that I purge out the stabilizer a little bit at a time until it stopped pulling to the left. That has more or less worked but I'm thinkin' that your dual set up is the way to go. If that was your own fab, what did you do to make it happen?

Can the left outer tie rod and toe adjuster be re-used, or are they different?

Is the steering dampener hole any different?
