Classic Performance Idler Arms
Tighten up your steering with Classic Performance idler arms. Idler arms are part of your steering system that links the steering box to the center link, and then to the hub assemblies. Over time, they can become more vulnerable to wear because of the pivot function built into them, and then steering can become sloppy. To help steer clear of this problem, simply replace your worn idler arm components with new ones from Classic Performance.

Classic Performance Rear Leaf Spring Relocation Kits
Classic Performance rear leaf spring relocation kits are designed to allow you to move your leaf springs for added tire clearance. These kits include front weld-in spring pockets, rear C-notch shackle plates, upper shackle hangers, and new shackles. Shackles have been re-designed to feature our high-performance D-spec bushings, sleeves, and hardware. Upper shackle mounts are CNC formed for proper fitment and alignment with the frame. Lower shock plate tucks the shock up closer to the leaf spring, so fitment of CP's Pro-Touring rear sway bar is perfect (sold separately). Rear pocket kits move the spring in-line with the frame to gain additional clearance to allow the use of up to 10 in. wide wheels and with the proper backspacing, and about 12 in. tread to ensure contact with the pavement.

Classic Performance Aluminum Gas Tanks
With any older standard cab truck, getting the stock gas tank out of the cab to free up some space and move some weight toward the rear of the truck is always a good idea. Classic Performance aluminum gas tanks fit between the frame rails, are fully baffled, and are compatible with EFI or carburetors. They are made from 0.125 in. 5051 aluminum with 0.187 in. thick brackets and are the thickest on the market. Once installed, the fuel filler can pass through the bed floor, or a custom side fill can be added (requires a small C-notch in the frame). Classic Performance aluminum gas tanks are vehicle specific, install without having to move crossmembers, and you'll end up with a tank that not only looks better, but also helps your truck perform better. Sending units are sold separately.
