ID this part please....

Can someone tell me what this part is officially called (very far left circle)? It bolts to the frame and the idler arm bolts to it.

Secondly, when looking at this part from above, my bracket bolts to the frame and then bends to the left (away from the frame). I've looked at a couple of others but they stay in line with the frame. Is my piece damaged?

Make sure you check the tightness of it because it will effect your steering. I found mine loose once. Saved me a ton on a rebuild sector.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: ID this part please....

can you please be more specific about the bend. i have seen one style that bends upwards and stays inline with the frame and one style that bends upwards and away from the frame. Is mine damaged?

I think I see it in the top picture, it's hard to tell but it looks like it angles away a little.
