Bryson, what do think abou your DLUX FAB, warn hub conversions, I have a friend that builds rock crawlers he says they are about the best how there. I checked out dlux's web site the kit conversion seems very reasonable. just wanted to know what you thought, are they easy to install and worth it.? thanks

I know I am new here, but has anyone told you that you need your azz kicked for having such a well painted and clean front end?
I hope you know I am just yanking your chain. Thanks for the great write up and follow up. I have done a lot of modifying on my 2000 Dodge 4x4 with the PSC box, steering support, and Borgeson steering shaft. It is pretty good, but what can one expect with a solid axle front end. Maybe your set up is even better. I will need to study it.

I couldn't agree more about the too-shiny front end... the pics were taken just after the paint job.
As far as the hub kit--I love it and i'd do it again in a heartbeat. Dlux is a great company to deal with! Believe it or not, having less parts rotating up front actually helped the steering feel more solid as well.

Something similar to this tool...
Tapered Ball Joint Reamers - 7 Degree
That link is just for illustrative use, and I do not know if it is the proper taper.

I see that you have 3rd gen 17" wheels on your second gen. Do you think this kit would have enough clearance with the 2nd gen OEM 16" aluminum wheels. I know some people have had 16" wheel clearance problems with the old second gen "T" steering upgrade when they put it on 00-02 trucks.
