They are made for supporting the coilover in there gmt800 kit which is a 4.5 lift. I bought just the brackets because they are beefy and thought I would need them. I did not want a lift but I thought with the weight of the big block and all it was the way to go. They seem to be more of a...

Just a heads up but I'm sure you know already. You may most likely have a problem getting the bars out of your old stamped arms and keys. The truck I just did is a 97 from Michigan and I pulled out the arms, bars and center support as one. I still haven't gotten it apart, I've just been spraying...

Thanks, I thought the link was included in my post. Sorry

Yep your right I do apologize, certain comments can make a guy feel criticized.

Air lift makes them in different configurations they call them the builder series. They have 3 inches of threaded travel and about 4 inches of air travel. That of coarse depends on weight, air pressure, pumps tanks etc. you can put to them. I am not finished with mine yet, right now they are...

BDS makes a coilover conversion for gmt800 2001 to current 2500 & 3500 this is listed as a 4.5 lift. Well I own gmt400 trucks so with this brake upgrade I figured I'd try it on my truck. I called BDS and they said they would sell me the parts I wanted because I didn't want the hole kit. I'm not...

Well that may be true for some not all, I had a press and other tools with a buddy that passed and his family cleared out his garage so sometimes shit happens and sometimes people don't have all the tools or self degreed engineering skills. I've actually used my press for bearings but I've also...

OK, 20 minutes a hole maybe if you know what your doing that's 2) lower, 2) upper and tie rod? It makes ME uncomfortable to do it so I did not. I never said anything about welding in the lower ball joint, I tacked the upper one on the inner with the bolts. Price the reamer $100? You may be able...

Thank you for that and the video.

Yes, this is the ball joint that will fit the gmt800 spindle without reaming it and the 2 front holes on the k2500,k3500 upper control arm. Again to avoid reaming out the spindles this is the option I used. If you research companies that make upper control arms with lift kits on gmt800 2500 &...

Could be, I found #6292 to be a gmt400 1500 upper ball joint but it could be, when I found that one I stopped searching and said close enough. So many parts out there I figured something had to be a close fit. Maybe an exact fit out there somewhere

The brake hose from the gmt400 should fit fine as far as I remember. I used the gmt800 ones because I swapped out the rear end for an 02 gasser 14 bolt disc and Russell sells a complete 5 line gmt800 set for less then the gmt400 3 line set. I did buy a gmt400 3 line set and I think it was short...

Np, two things convinced me to use the gmt800 lower control arms. 1) parts stores sell them complete new, with bushings and ball joints installed. No pressing out old then pressing in new, with lifetime warranty. I have not found a new complete gmt400 lower control arm 2) no buying a reamer...

Could maybe be a PCM problem?

DieselAmateur, that is correct. I purchased these because I wanted a strong steering component. With larger tires (33×12.5×20) not huge I'm always replacing front end part's. They actually make them for 01 up trucks with an option to replace the center link on these newer trucks. Reaming out the...

Thank you MrMarty51, I believe 2015 is when I found the first post about front brake upgrades. I started an electrical company that year and it took off. It has taken a lot of my time so I have not been able to participate in such forums. I have always loved working on these trucks through the...

Yes, I'm familiar with that setup. The picture of the bilstein shock should be what yours looks like? Airlift makes them in just about any configuration.

Thank you very much, I love these trucks and making them new again with upgrades. Airlift builder series shocks come in many different configurations. In your case with a 2wd, do you have a trunnion (the bar through it) on the bottom and a stud on the top? Is your truck a big block? Then you...
