Can I upgrade the steering components?

[Ian Mills]

So my truck is equipped with the shorter drag link and no steering stabilizer but I gather that some 2005 crew cab 1500s were equipped with the longer drag link and the stabilizer. What would it take to upgrade?

Side note: What brand of PSF do people recommend? I've seen a lot of conflicting information about which brands meet the standards that GM specified

I've never seen a half ton with a steering stabilizer shock but I haven't seen every truck on the road.

 

I see no reason to upgrade, it's not going to change anything.

 

Regular power steering fluid is all you need, never ran anything other than that. All the name brand stuff will say on the bottle what it's made for. They make specific fluids for Honda/Acura and other Euro/Jap cars but that won't be needed here. I've ran regular ole transmission fluid as well.
