I am updating my stock 3/4 ton front axle with a lowered 1/2 ton axle by SID.

The stock ball joints are shot and seized.

Wht is my best and most painless upgrade for the tie rod and drag link?

Thanks,

Mike

Since its a 1/2 ton you can use these at the bottom of page or here for new ends and drag link
Multiple vendors sell the parts. You can check the Vendor links for more options.


Good luck.

I bought the whole 3"in drop axle kit kit from sid's with the tie rod tie rod ends, steering arm,and draglink, i had to bend the steering arm a little bit so the steering arm would clear the axle, but it all went together pretty easy,
