What year is your vehicle and RWD or 4WD? The reason this is important. Is that 88–92 the idler arm only has two bolts. In 93 They changed it to a three bolt pattern. The Cognito and super steer supports only work with the three bolt pattern.

Something else to consider is upgrading the steering shaft to eliminate the rag joint where it meets up with the gearbox. Several options are available, including a jeep shaft, also Cunningham machine, a vendor on this forum, offers a brand new shaft that uses U joints.

(In the summer/fall I am looking to upgrade my 92 C1500 front end and I’m working through gathering a shopping list. So I am in a similar predicament as you)

The customer service for supersteer is pretty weird. I asked them if a third-party sells them. would still warranty them and they said they don’t know. Also they said place where they get the castings for the SS 170 went out of business It will probably be discontinued for the foreseeable future.

When you said the kryptonite stuff could be used on a C 1500, was that said directly by them? Because if so, I’ll just buy that $700 kit for mine.
