front end rebuild kit on ebay??

my front end on my 97' 3500 is in need of some attention, I found this kit on ebay & was wondering if anyone had any experience with it?????

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...spagenameZWDVW


seems like everything I would need & some things I don't, my ball joints are in good shape & I have a steering box that was just installed a couple weeks ago, but I have a tie rod & drag link that are pretty much shot!! would this be a good route or should I go elsewhere, thanks, Dusty

You can use lukes links on each of those steering linkage joints and not have to pay out the nose again when they wear in later on. Depends on how much you hate crawling around under the truck.
I did the pitman arm joint a couple weeks ago and its working out just fine. When the others wear out theyre going to get the same treatment.
I -think- theyre something like 60$ each.. not sure.

does anybody have a diagram of all the steering components??? I looked at the Lukes Link site & I think the joint that is worn out on my truck is one that isn't fixable with the lukes links????? I think the worn part on my truck is the joint just below the tie rod end at the pitman arm,I'd rather go that route if at all possible, but I'd like to check out a diagram or picture to see if the part worn on mine is one that the lukes links will fix???? thanks alot, Dusty

Those are part #'s for a 3/4 ton. You can cross reference at rockauto.com.

Pretty smokin' deal, you'll pay more than that for the rod ends alone.
