Steering linkages on the way! Should have everything tomorrow. I went with Moog/QSC parts.

Pitman Arm= K6335
Idler Arm= K6390
Inner Tie Rod End= ES2837RL (x2)
Tie Rod Sleeve= ES2004S (x2)
Outer Tie Rod End= ES2836RL (x2)

Going to sandblast and paint the center link while I have things apart. This should commence next weekend if all goes according to plan.

In other news...
-Ordered one of those LED light bars off Amazon for $30. Should be here next week.
-Will be ordering new bulbs for the quad swap soon. I will be going OEM for the low beams and clear LMC housings with HIDS in the highbeams. I do A LOT of night driving (second shift) so being able to see at night is a plus.

Still just driving and enjoying the truck! It's still due for an oil change, maybe Saturday.

Would you mind letting us know which parts (if any) are made in the USA ? Thanks

Yeah, that's pretty much all there is now lol. It's all service parts, so no one here is after it.
Your probably right from Moog's point of view. But I think the former Moog employees wouldn't agree. I'm 31 years older than you and I remember when almost everything was made here. And I think most if not all people my age really miss it.

New parts typically are made here. I work for a Tier 2 supplier, but once it becomes Service part's, and not a 20,000 monthly order, most places here aren't too concerned with keeping it around.

That's too bad. I wish something could be done to change that.
