i just purchased a front end kit to replace the front end on my truck but i think i bought it for a c1500 not a k1500.
  • Kit Includes:
    (2) Front Sway Bar Links
    (2) Front Lower Ball Joints
    (2) Front Outer Tie Rods
    (1) Idler Arm
    (1) Idler Arm Bracket
    (1) Pitman Arm
    (2) Front Inner Tie Rods
    (2) Tie Rod Adjusting Sleeves
    (2) Front Upper Control Arms with Ball Joints
    (1) Center Link
as far as i can tell the only difference is the lower ball joints.. if thats the only difference i will just order the correct lower ball joints instead of sending back the whole kit. any help?

Be careful with "kits". They're too-often low-grade junk parts thrown together to make high profits despite "low" prices.

If those are rubber (not Polyurethane) control arm bushings, be sure to have the suspension at normal ride-height before torquing the fasteners.
