Hello Mr. Burns. With regard to the one ton front end, did you buy a kit or did you source it yourself? I'm finding some conflicting information on trying to source parts, specifically the steering knuckle. Feel free to PM me, if you don't want to clutter up this thread.

Thanks!

I was an early adopter and bought a kit from Applied GMC. It came with everything needed, brake calipers, pads, tie-rod ends etc. I believe Manny's kit does not include the locally procurable parts.

This is a good write-up on installing a one-ton with a list of parts you need for Manny's kit.
