Front end rebuild
Hi everyone. I am new to the Chevy forums, though my 2500hd is the second chevy I have owned. I am looking to do the front end of my truck over and going ***** to the wall, high-end upgrades in the process. I am not a mechanic by any means, though I have changed some mirrors, doors, headlights, taillights, and the basics. I have heard Moog is a good name brand for the HD trucks. I recently had some service done to the truck but I'd love to gain some personal experience as well as opinions on what I should do to the truck. I also use the truck for snowplowing

Moog is a quality brand. We install Moog parts on customer vehicles all the time, particularly on Chevy trucks (HD and regular duty) as many of our customers have older pickups. It’s pretty common for us to rebuild the steering linkages on them.
I know they offer eccentric cam bolts for beyond normal camber adjustments on upper control arms as well as ball joints that have a certain degree adjustment as well (if you get these, make sure you pay attention to the instructions included with the ball joint - there is an index mark that has to face toward or away from the truck).
There’s also a number of manufacturers that offer complete kits for lifting/modifying suspensions. Just google “performance suspensions” for options.
