2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Help with steering

[starring]

I am currently in the process of rebuilding all of my steering linkage. This will be on the 95 2500 4x4. I have got a DSS and DT track bar on order. I also need to have the tire rod ends rebuilt. I am looking for an alternative to ball joints here. Any one know a company that makes such a product?

I would install a ball joint to make sure I could get some caster adjustment. . I have been told ingalls (Astro)makes a way to adjust the upper ball joints or adjustable ball joints, . I would like to see a grease zerk also good luck Jimk

heim joints would be an alternative to ball joints. You'd have to do a little work but may end up better in the long run. check out www.bulletproofsteering.com. I ran across it from a magazine and have been eyeing it trying to decide if I want to go for it on my truck.

Another steering alternative when combined with the adjustable trackbar is the 1999 HD Steering retrofit... ...

Gentlemen,



Before you go the Bullet Proof Steering route, please read the thread titled My Steering Sucks. I give a short play by play, of what is required, and the drawbacks of this system. Muchsnows recommendation will probably work as good, cost less, and require a lot less work. At least that is my opinion.

Well after a lot of research and consulting I have decided to just get my tie rod and drag link rebuilt. I am putting on a DT track bar, and DSS. I also am putting Rancho 9000's all around, with a Rancho stabillizer. All i have left to do is to put it all together, which is proving to be a challenge as no garage will help me with the 3/4" hole in the frame. Being at college I have limited tools.
