Kryptonite Death Grip Idler Side Package Chevrolet | GMC 2001-2010
$522.49

If you’ve spent any time behind the wheel of a Heavy Duty GM Truck, you know that a little play in the steering can feel like a lot. It’s frustrating, especially when you’re trying to maneuver your beast on or off the road. That’s where the Kryptonite Death Grip Idler Arm comes in. This isn’t just another aftermarket part; it’s a game changer for your steering system.

What makes this idler arm stand out is its solid construction. We’re talking about a housing that’s machined from a single piece of billet steel. That means no weak points, just pure strength. Plus, it features a heat-treated 4140 Chromoly stud that’s built to last. You’re not going to have to worry about this thing giving out on you when you need it most.

One of the coolest features is the sealed double roller bearing system. No maintenance required—just install it and forget about it. This design not only enhances your steering feel but also keeps your turning radius intact. Whether your truck is lifted, leveled, or lowered, this idler arm fits right in. It works seamlessly with any factory GM or Kryptonite center link or steering product that fits the 2001-2010 Chevrolet or GMC 2500/3500 HD. Oh, and if you’re running the PISK2008 brace kit, you’re in luck; this idler plays nice with that too.

Here’s what you get with the Death Grip Idler Arm:

  • 1 x Kryptonite Death Grip Idler Arm
  • 1 x Kryptonite Idler Support
  • 1 x Kryptonite Idler Support Frame Gusset

The Idler Support is no slouch either. It reduces steering play and improves control, which means less driver fatigue on those long hauls. And let’s be real, better steering means safer driving, which is what we all want, right?

As for the Frame Gusset, it’s constructed from 1/4" plate steel. That’s some serious reinforcement for your frame, ensuring everything stays solid while you’re out there tackling tough terrains.

And did I mention it’s all made right here in the USA? You can feel good about supporting local manufacturing while upgrading your truck.

For installation, you can find detailed instructions here. It's straightforward enough, so you won’t need to be a master mechanic to get it done.

Fitment: This package is designed for Chevrolet and GMC 2500/3500 HD trucks from 2001 to 2010, including:

  • Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2001-2003 & 2005-2007)
  • Chevrolet Silverado 2500 (1999-2010)
  • Chevrolet Silverado 3500 (2001-2010)
  • GMC Sierra (2001-2010)
  • Hummer H2 (2003-2009)

So if you're looking to tighten up that steering and get a more solid feel while driving, the Kryptonite Death Grip Idler Arm is definitely worth considering. It’ll make a noticeable difference in how your truck handles, and that’s something every driver can appreciate.
