Important notes before you order
- On models with Saginaw or Corporate type front driveshaft, CV cluster may require dressing to prevent binding.
- Anti-Sway bar links will have to be sectioned and lengthened.
- Not for heavy duty 3/4 ton.
- I.D. of the bushing is smaller than the mounting pin and will require lubrication and extra effort for installation.
- #082501 steering block only fits Dana 44 with 3 bolt knuckle.
TRU specialist notes
From the Trucks R Us fitment and install team, beyond the manufacturer's information.
- Plan for a professional wheel alignment after installing any lift or leveling kit.
- Going to bigger tires as well? Speedometer recalibration may be needed, and some tire and wheel combinations need trimming. Check the recommended wheels and tires, or ask us before you order.
