Need replacement heavy duty pitman arm

MichGMCMax · January 7, 2016

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, and have a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD, Duramax, and I had a leveling kit put on it. I believe they way over cranked the torsion bars as I had to adjust them off the bump stops when I got the truck back. In the process it took out the pitman arm. The dealership warrantied the part but it is on its way out again and I will have to change it this time. My question is, are there any heavy duty pitman arms out there for lifted trucks that are model year 2015? I looked at Moog as well as Rare Parts and they dont have anything out yet that they say will fit.

I gotta ask, how did it affect the pitman arm? Even with bigger tires the pitman arm is still pretty durable. I know in my 02 1500 I had a brace for the pitman and idler arm made by cognito motorsports, around $200

May want to post this in the 2500/3500 section of the K2's instead of the 1500.

I'd be having the place who installed the leveling kit take a look at the front end, make sure its not something they did. What brand kit did you have put in?

Something is not right, there should be nothing wrong with the pitman arm, a leveling kit doesn't even effect it, it would take 35in. tires and offroadinf 100,000 miles to wear it out.

I added the Cognito product on my last 2500 and was happy with the product. I got 75k miles without anything, but added the Cognito kit after I replaced the idler and pitman arms. I used to live in AZ and took my truck down many washboard beat you up roads.
