very nice parts
I have rare parts pitman and idler arms. They are beefy, and so far had zero problems with them. I also have a kryptonite ss centerlink and a dhd brace, and kryptonite tie rods. I'd say weakest point in my set up is the moog idler support.... I'll find out in a couple weeks when I get my trans from Evan

I was just gonna get another GM one. Forgot to order it that quick. They have better ones?
All rare parts here too with the dhd brace. Very nice stuff but I came from completely worn out stock stuff
It's like it sucks you into the turn and clunks on it's way back out of it too, but only going forward, not in reverse. Kinda hard to explain

Mine does the same, I'm going with leaf issues and the g80 pulling shenanigans. Mine does it only when turning right
Thank you. Kicking myself in the ass now, wish we would have had him ten years ago, it was love at first sight. Definitely found a new hobby.
Could it be a steering stabilizer issue? I did put a Napa replacement on it??

Rare parts arms, rods and support. Dhd brace. Straight centerlink of choice prolly empire or whatever reg runs, seems to be best price ish. rare parts makes a centerlink but seems to be equivalent to oem. Can't find any info on it other than it's in their order catalogue
I don't think the DHD brace would work well with a straight center link.
I would do a Dmax store style centerlink and tie rods.
PPE Pitman arm, and idler arm.
And a super steer idler pivot, with a weld in gusset.
In my opinion that would be the best of all worlds, only thing stronger would be a straight centerlink with the above mentioned parts

if you have a straight centerlink there's no need to worry about it rolling, so nix the DHD brace (which prolly wouldn't fit anyway).
The Kryptonite is good, but still rolls and the Rare parts alone will NOT stop it if you have good power and a lot of weight.
My current setup seems rock solid:
Kryptonite centerlink and tie rods
Kryptonite large welded gusset
Rare pitman -- which I would NOT buy again. Get a Moog or other.
Ultimate Idler Arm - out of business, so pick another.
Henderson idler
DHD brace
DHD lower control arm connecting bracket
She turns and handles way better than my old 1.5" straight centerlink! To do it again, I'd mirror the above, but wait and see how it was with the stock centerlink before buying the Kryptonite; it may not be needed!
