Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) DT Profab Steering Stabilizer System

[DPrew]

Has anyone installed one of the DT Profab power steering stabilizer kits? I'm thinking it help with the poor steering by minimizing lateral movement of the pitman arm and shaft. I just ordered one of the kits so I'll find out next week but I'd like hear from anyone who has installed one of these kits.

I've got the steering column bushing kit, track bar relocation kit, AGR 16:1 gear box & PS Super Pump, Borgeson steering shaft, Moog tie rod ends and ball joints so far. The DT kit and new control arm bushings are next.

I was at DDP yesterday talking with Evan and Peter, they both recommend the DT products. I will soon be adding the steering stabilizer and trac bar.

I really like the look of their control arms, they look plenty strong. Would the 1/2" longer ones be enough with my leveling kit? Looking at it now, my front wheels do look like they're closer to the rear of the fenders than the front.

Yes, I know a couple of guys with them running 315's. They centered the tire in the wheel well and have zero rubbing issues. I'll be adding those when I do the trac bar and stabilizer.



I have the same issue, my tires sit back towards the rear lip of the fender. I also have a 2" leveling kit.

I just ordered the 1/2" longer Control arms. My truck also has a 2. 5" leveling kit.

Let me know how you like them once you get them on. I'm interested to see how well they do.

I like the look Solid Steel Industries track bar better. The non-adjustable bar is made from one welded piece of steel instead of multiple threaded end pieces. The Solid Steel bar just looks like it will last forever.

My particular track bar is adjustable so it also has some threaded pieces but they are super sized connections that look very sturdy. I like overkill.

Dunno if there is anything that can "overkill" the front end on these trucks! I have the DT Pro Fab track bar and it seems very strong... easy to install as well. I've been round and round this front end so I'm looking at control arm bushings next.

I axed simply replacing the bushing in favor of swapping in the DT +1/2" kit. I've ****** away so much money on my truck at this point that I figured what the hell is another $500 (installed). I think my after market ventures have set me back about $22K at this point.
