Cool The Ultimate Heavy Duty Steering

When I brought my truck it had a 5in procomp (partial lift). Basically it was missing a drop pitman arm, drop sway bar, etc... So I replaced my swaybar endlinks and drop brackets from lazarsmith. My tierods where shot and I didn't want to replace them with the facrory junk, so I contacted thuren fabrication and put on his ultimate steering. Talk about a difference it is extremely tight steering and responds wonderfully. I don't know how to include pictures but you can check out my gallery pics.

The crossover steering wasnt that much more than the factory tie rods since you have to replace the draglinks and everything. Next time this steering wears out I just have to rebuild the heims.

Probably 1200-1500 if you don't include the three drill bits I went thru drilling out the knuckles and pitman arm.

I did the same thing. I skipped the fox stabilizer, ordered two stab clamps from Don and kept my dual steering stabilizers. I've since repainted the stabilizers to match the truck.

Yah my truck had dual skyjacker stabilizers when I bought but the had been doing all the work and were pretty wore out. Top Gun Customz just came out with a nice dual set for our trucks utilizing bilstiens. But overall I'm impressed with the Fox unit.
