edgarking69 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Hows it going guys I am needing some advice on replacing some worn out suspension components on my 05 SS. I am also in the middle of getting a new wheel/ tire set up currently, the truck sits on 20" tuff wheels with 275/65/20 Nexen AT tires.Looking at replacing all steering components with Moog parts, just wondering if these are good or if any recommendations on better brands. I will also be replacing all the bushings with energy bushings ( i figure I might as well while everything is torn apart).For the wheels, I am looking at either the KMC Slides or some LTZ replicas in a 22". As for the tires, I am between the Nitto 420's or the NT421Q, in a 285/45/22. I am wanting some opinions from people who have ran these tires before. I live in colorado so I am needing a good all season tire, something with good grip for cornering and occasional drag strip during the summer. Anyways sorry for the long paragraph and thank you in advance, and i have tried doing a lot of research but just can't seem to make up my mind.

1BAD2K Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Your plan for the suspension set up and parts sounds great imo. As far as wheels, if you are gonna get something heavy like those, I'd go with a 22" ss replica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 are you planning to lower the truck or want to?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgarking69 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I am still undecided on if I'll be dropping it, It seems to me like it already sits level. Also, I do go out to the desert quite a bit with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 No prob. Just heads up the kit I sell is adjustable in front and replaces lower ball joints and has poly bushings. Mated with the front Belltech sp shocks, rear 2-4 lowering kit and front and rear swaybars truck handles great. I've been doing this drop on them since late 2002 when they came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981evildisco Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I would highly recommend the "Rare Parts" tie rods, they are the best IMO. Made in USA, extra thick, and the last set you'll ever have to buy. I had a thread that had the correct part number. http://rareparts.com/gm-steering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgarking69 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 @ Normal I will definitely come to you if I decide to drop the truck @evildisco I was looking at the thread u had going on those. Did you end up doing any other steering components or just the tie rods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
