Alright, 98 Z71 193K with all original front end with a 2" block, cranked to level with a 2" body and 35" Coopers on stock wheels. It's been cranked that much for about 2 years and I'm just now paying for it. I realize I've done it to myself and I've learned my lesson well.
I need tires pretty bad and I have bad tie rods, idler and pitman arm. I've sourced everything I need in terms of parts but I have a few questions after reading EVERY relevant post here.
Do I have to replace the idler bracket or just the idler arm? Is the idler and pitman a PITA or what? I want to get all this resolved before eating up a grand worth of tires.
As far as tools, I have a 2 jaw puller and pickle fork and do all my own work. What else am I looking at and what can I expect? By the way, my ball joints are tight.
After I get this all replaced, I'm un-cranking and un-blocking and gonna run General Grabber AT2s in 285/75/16 on D-wheels.
Any heads ups are appreciated.
TIA,
B
