Key Features

• HD Tubular Radius Arms: High-strength tubular replacements for the factory stamped steel arms, featuring caster adjustment for a wide range of lift heights and OE-style rubber frame bushings for smooth, quiet, service-free operation.
• Diesel-Specific Pro-Ride Coil Springs: Full-length progressive rate coils manufactured from high tensile steel with properly sized wire diameter, tuned for diesel front-end weight to deliver correct lift height and predictable ride quality across mixed terrain.
• HD Adjustable Track Bar: 1-3/8" solid steel construction, pre-assembled with bushings, allowing you to recenter the front axle and maintain proper steering geometry at various lift heights.
• Forged Drop Pitman Arm: Corrects steering angles to keep handling tight after the lift.
• Front Sway Bar Correction: Maintains factory handling performance on-road.
• Rear Air Ride Components: Heavy duty air bag spacer brackets, track bar relocation bracket for proper axle positioning, bump stop extensions, and new air ride leveling sensor brackets that re-position the ride height sensors so the system performs as it does at factory ride height with full air bag range of motion.
