Box kit

[Homesteader]

Who makes the best quality box kit out there for 99-03 SD? Icon,Fab tech,PMF etc....
Anyone using PMF's box kit?

Dynatracs setup is hard to beat. It is expensive but a very good quality kit. They actually mention on their website that it works for 6" lift and up. It is a lot of work and you end up with two brand new knuckles.



I have had Icon's and it is nice too. I had an issue with their high steer knuckle and honestly I think they just buy them from someone else. Well they bored the holes for the wheel bearing about a 1/4" low. 99% of you would never even notice. But once you throw a set of dynatrac ball joints in there you figure it out real quick... LOL. I would definitely roll an Icon one again...



DEFINITELY do not get one that someone has welded to the cast knuckle... those are out there and I wouldn't trust them one bit!

Layson are you talking about the same kit that Im thinking about? The box kit that contains Pan rod drop bracket, drop pitman arm, sway bar links and bushings ?

Maybe... LOL, if it were me I would call up Marty at Truck Toyz and pick his brain. Trust his advice, he isn't going to sell you something you don't need either.

I have been doing that a little..... hope he dont mind me picking at his brain more...he seems very busy though and a little tough to get a hold of.

So what kit are you talking about? I looked at Dynatrac's site and couldnt find it.

 

[Layson]

Good! Take your time! Glad you are talking to him!

Look up the superduty combo kit. It's real expensive but definitely worth looking at. If you look up Dan (dcspecial) on the forums he has it on his truck.

I've got all this stuff from PMF on my 08. Everything's really well made and has been on my truck problem free for coming up on 2 years. I know you've talked about PMF stuff before, and if you haven't just call Trevor and talk it over with him as well.

I am still on your crossover steering/box thread.... LOL. I am just talking about the crossover steering. Yeah that is a no go on dynatrac unless you want to spend some serious coin. LOL

I had the 12.5" box kit on my truck from Icon.

I have talked to Trevor before about his stuff. I have read he makes some heavy duty stuff also. I was looking to hear from guys who is personaly using his products. Im wanting to know how his box kit is compared to others. I know he builds everything super heavy duty and hoping his box kit is also. Im just looking at all my options.

Second vote for Marty at Truck Toyz. He has helped me out a ton and is really knowledgable. I've never dealt with Trevor but Im sure he won't disappoint if thats the route you decide to go
