Yes all from the factory, don't forget the pitman arm too.

Does anyone know if this will work on an '01?

Does anyone know if this will work on an '01? If so... What are the part numbers? Sorry for the repetition.

Does Carli sell a dual stabilizer set up or did you fab that yourself? I have the high mount stabilizer and Carli said to use it and keep the OEM stabilizer in place too but that looks like a better set up.

When I got it installed, the truck wanted to pull to the left (285/75R17 Toyo AT's.) Carli suggested that I purge out the stabilizer a little bit at a time until it stopped pulling to the left. That has more or less worked but I'm thinkin' that your dual set up is the way to go. If that was your own fab, what did you do to make it happen?

Can the left outer tie rod and toe adjuster be re-used, or are they different?
Is the steering dampener hole any different?

Yah, Carli sells the dual stabilzers w/ the Bilstein 7100 shock. Jake's is the Carli set up. You can order either seperate or together. Some get the high mount and leave the stocker on until it wears out and then replaces it w/ the new S/S....

[Matt400]

Actually I don't see a dampener hole at all in that rod, did the factory eliminate it or go with a clamp on?

[firemansdiesel]

Clamp.....

What is the part number for the pitman arm? Is it not included in the tie-rod/drag link upgarde kit (part #52122362AB)?

[Matt400]

I thought the whole idea behind the original crisscross type steering rods was that it reduced bump steer??

I run both from carli and my truck couldn't track any straighter its amazing I take my hands off the wheel and it goes straight.

sorry don't know numbers.

Kit?? do you not order all these parts separate for an 08 or is there one part number for a kit?

I haven't orderd this yet, but it is my understanding that 52122362AB gives you all the tie rod ends and drag link in one package to convert from the y-style steering to the newer t-style steering. You can't use your existing steering damper, and the part number for the new one of those is 52122370AA. And apparently you have to change to a newer style pitman arm too?

Yes it comes complete and assembled in the box with nice orange condums over the threaded ends so no damage may occur durring freight. No pitman arm and steering stabilizer in kit.

The pitman arm has a different angle and Yes Carli has a damper that will slip right onto the new stock location
