Sierra 2500HD / 3500 2001-2010 GMC - Death Grip Idler Support by Kryptonite

The Kryptonite KR175 Death Grip Idler Support eliminates steering play, improves control, and enhances overall driving stability in GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500 trucks. Engineered and built in the USA, this idler support bracket is crafted to withstand the extreme demands of both stock and modified suspensions. With superior components and precision engineering, it provides a solid pivot point that significantly outperforms standard idler supports.

The idler pivot assembly is a critical steering component, yet it is prone to wear, bending, and breakage—especially when running 35” or larger tires. When the idler pivot assembly fails, the idler arm moves uncontrollably, causing severe tie rod angle changes that lead to premature wear or even catastrophic failure. This Extreme Duty Idler Pivot Assembly is reinforced with tapered roller bearings, adding strength, durability, and longevity to your steering system. A worn or damaged idler pivot assembly can result in serious front-end issues, including tie rod breakage, pitman arm failure, and idler arm movement, potentially leading to costly damage to oil cooler lines, motor mounts, and other suspension components. Upgrading to the Kryptonite Death Grip Idler Support eliminates these issues, ensuring safer driving, reduced steering fatigue, and improved handling in any condition.

Backed by Kryptonite’s No Fine Print Lifetime Warranty, this idler support bracket is built to last. If it fails, Kryptonite will replace it—no questions asked. To qualify for warranty coverage, products must be purchased from an authorized dealer and registered within 90 days of purchase. Full warranty details are available on the Kryptonite website.
