'05 GMC 1500 4WD 5.3l Z71 Front suspension parts questions

[Brian1e]

I am going to be helping out my grandson with his truck soon. We will be replacing ball joints, wheel bearing/hubs, and shocks.

 

I am trying to get the parts ordered and am a bit confused by the Z71 package and the 17 inch wheels. I do not think the truck has been lifted.

 

1. Ball joints: there are some listed as 2deg additional camber, are these for lifted trucks, and not needed for standard Z71? I plan on using MOOG RK80942 (control arm w/ball joint) for the top, and MEVOTECH MK6541 for the bottoms.

Everything OK so far?

2. Bearings: Do the 17" wheels require a different brg/hub? I plan to use WJB 515036HD (Front; 4WD; Heavy Duty Hub Unit; 6 Stud Hub; w/ bolt kits)

Any problems?

 

3. Shocks: What will fit?

The above parts worked perfectly. The shocks still pretty good, will do latter.
