Forgive me for interjecting here but why get all of the steering stuff the GT2 stuff and leave the arms stock?
I use stock front end stuff and if I break anything it is the arms.
I had the GT2 arms on my truck for a while and never broke any front stuff. If I had to I would replace only the arms and leave the rest.
Just make sure you use the right hinge pins and kingpins otherwise you may find yourself breaking caster blocks because the pin is too short.
I accidentally used the kingpin for the outer hingpin and snapped the caster block on every bad hit. I changes to the right outer hinge pins and everything is golden now.
