TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
ok im not sure what part your talking about think i know but not 100% but lets play connect the dots.you have the steering box, then you have the pitman arm, after that you have the front drag link, then adjusting sleeve, then rear drag link and thats connected to the steering arm
It appears that in all of your pics, especially the first one, that the FRONT drag link is just about in the middle of each image. I'm guessing that's the part you are referring too?? I'm gonna say that Irish is probably thinking the same thing?Try posting another pic with something pointing too or touching(I.e. your finger) the part in question.

You should be able to buy the parts at Napa, O'reillys etc. I was looking at the middle pic and noticed that your leaf spring has an issue. You really need to look at it. I suggest that you support the frame,take the U-bolts loose, lower the front end and look closely at the leaf spring. Just a thought.
Thanks Don. Will do. The truck sits lower in the front and you can see the leafs are sagging significantly. New front leafs are near the top of the list of things to buy (a never ending list). is that what you are referring to? Or do you see something else?

New front leafs are near the top of the list of things to buy (a never ending list). is that what you are referring to? Or do you see something else?I suspect a vey serious problem that needs to be put at the top of the list. As in, if you were my 15 year old son- that is looked at first before it moves out of the driveway again. I would bet money that the bottom leaf is broken. The reason I say this is because there is a gap on the bottom leaf near the front of the spring and the spring looks like a V instead of having an arch to it. I had a broken leaf spring in the rear and it looked exactly like yours. I bet that once you take it apart you will see that the spring is cracked across the leaf. Look at it closely and see if there is a crack on the side right behind the U-bolt. If there isn't one, it is probably cracked between the two U-bolts where you can't see it. I could be wrong and maybe the spring is "tired". Does the other side look like this as well?
