LBZ: Front end mods

[Dmax95]

Alright need some input.

Bout to put a ranch hand bumper on and was thinking ill need to beef up my front end.

Here is details.

Trucks an 07 classic, 6" rough country lift, 20x10 bmfs with 35's.
During summer truck gets driven maybe 100 miles a week, but during fall I am a hunting guide and will be driven daily. 4 wheel drive gets used regularly.
Just got brand new rancho 9000's shocks.

Just tryin to make it as reliable as possible.

I'm thinking some tierod sleeves, along with a pitman/idler arm brace kit.

Just want to figure out what I should do. Thanks!

How much are you looking to spend? I think I paid 1700 for a kryptonite stg 3. One of the best upgrades I've ever made..but if you want to keep the budget intact there's several options for sleeves and braces.

I was looking at that. Said 1300 on dmax store.
I'm debating on it, but lord that's a lot more than I want to spend.

May just have to buckle down...

Any other options? :thumb:

Look into sleeves, great upgrade and huge benefit for the cost:thumb:

I just run sleeves and the dhd brace. I'm in 4wd everyday in fields and then drag trailers on shitty roads. It all gets beat up, but no failures yet.

Turning radius sucked before, but now it's a huge joke. I had to do a like a 19 point turn to get to my trailer in the lot this morning.

DHD brave shouldn't put turning radius into jeopardy unless the brace is hitting the cross member bolts. I'm running rare parts tie rods inner and outer, they are really heavy duty and also a DHD brace. I pull my truck and have no problems. But I don't think you can run the DHD on a lifted truck
