I spent the majority of the day wiring the truck, after finding out I can't even get the truck inspected at a normal shop so I started the tear down on the front end, got a few pics. Wheels off, calipers removed, drag link removed, steering stabilizers detached, steering shaft removed, pitman arm removed. The factory splines in the slip joint were worn nicely. I'm going to use the old splines to attach to the new borgeson steering shaft to the steering column; the set screws should keep it tight.

Lower pins came in yesterday, i got both upper kingpin bushings out. found something else i need to blow money on... truck needs new axle shafts. one side is froze solid and this truck eats u-joints in about a year so i think its time for some 4340 chromoly axles shafts maybe one day i'll upgrade to a u-joint that doesnt use needle bearings $300 a set tho hahaha til then, looking at some YuKon axles.

Pretty sure I got it from off road design, they specialize in GM but manufacture kits for dodge. The cross over kit alone is cheaper than what I got. What I got includes the high arm steering kit. I'll be able to confirm the manufacturer when I get back to the house.
