I want to upgrade my steering to the 99 on 3500 HD T type set up, Does anyone have the moog part numbers for all the parts I need?
 
Ya Long tie rod # ds1456 drag link #ds1459 left outside tie rod #es3496 Tie rod at pitman arm #es 3527 Small adj. sleeve #es2012s Large adj. sleeve #es3498s. i checked on rockauto.com they were cheap but i talkt to my buddy at carquest and he met there price with all moog. parts. I did the conversion on my '97 4wd and its a nite and day difference! U'll love it it's like a whole new/different truck!
 
Another question about swapping out these parts, What steering dampner do I use?
 
Get a thurens crossover steering kit and track bar along with a dss and a 3rd Gen steering box.
 
I've got a DSS & adjustable trck bar I just didn't want to have to modify my arms for the crossover setup
 
I've gat an aftermarket skyjacker dual stabilizer kit on mine thats originally for a 1st gen body style dodge
 
Heres a site with all the part numbers; Ram Modifications plus other useful mods.
I did it and haven't need a stabilizer, yet.
I have the ThurenFab track bar.
 
I haven't used a stabilizer in years and haven't touched my alignment in 4 years and its still dead on.

All those that I know that went to the 3rd gen box had to remove their DSS.. Lines up differently somehow..

And the borgeson box is pretty new. One of the guys that was building and selling a 3rd gen swap kit tried to convince them to do the new box design quite a while ago. Looks as though they finally decided there was a market for it. Rip at Source said they are selling really well..

I wouldn't do that yet bud. Lets just say, I've got something in the oven. You will like it, but thats all I'm saying. lol No, not that! Thats baby fat!LOL
 
Forgot to mention that I have the DT Adjustable tracbar already. No I need to replace some tie rods and am looking to just redo the whole front.
 
I changed over to the t design and had to do a little creative welding to keep the stock stabilizer. Welded a bolt to one of the adjustable sleeve bolts. I have the Borgeson box and had to cut the bearing mounting plate off of my dss and re-weld it to align it properly.
