here is a thread I did when I did it. basically you will see the 98-99 HD version is a better unit. stronger, bigger in diameter. better angles on my truck. read my thread and pic's do a search on here and type in T-steering you will get alot of hits. this works with trucks that have 17" wheels I'm not 100% sure if stockers and the knuckles can be shaved or not.

very interested in this. Is it just a matter of bolting on the new tie rods, etc or is there a need for new steering knuckles, steering box etc??

nope oem knuckles and I replaced my box with a borgenson because I needed to. other than that those part numbers are part numbers for the 98-99 HD version specifically.

I bolted the 99 t-steering into my 94 which has the 2001 aluminum 16" wheels. Extreemely happy with it. Have not found an after market damper to fit just yet that will take the place of the lack of attachment hole in the linkage of the original parts. My right wheel just touches the tie rod and rubs on a hard left turn in the parking lot. I have driven it in a circle a time or two to see if it is scraping off any metal but only lightly rubs.



When doing this I noticed the part numbers are the same for all models through 99. the only concern I know of is some wheels might rub.

Here's the link to my thread on the conversion, also done with the '98-'99 OEM setup.
