and sway bar kit from one of these guys to avoid the drop brackets .

yes stock box / pitman arm . needs a drop arm now i see that angle .

steering shock is on the bottom of the axle bracket . needs to set on top of the bracket . pull bolt and move on top and reinstall bolt and good to go .

disconect kit https://www.offroaddesign.com/swayba...gm-trucks.html

but side note our square truck this tall and spring packs like you have now the sway bar does almost nothing so lots of guys just remove them . the stock gm springs were real soft and these lift springs are stiffer and dont need it as much . but thats personal preference . that sway bar the way it is now is got the front end so bound up from pulling forward and then the shackles wana flex back its fighting its self .

i run a k10 with 1ton axles and 6" lift / 3" body lift and 38x12.50x16.5 tsl swampers for years no sway bar and no problems .

and if you dont have one up in there get one of these quick before the frame breaks .
