Any recommendations on tools before starting. What puller do I need? I am sure I will need a pickle fork...

So does a 2oo5 2x4 z71 have a 3 or 4 spline?
The only way to know is to crawl under and count yourself. There's no rhyme or reason as to which trucks GM assigned the 3 or 4 splines to. I believe my truck has a 3 spline and that was more common of the two.

You'll need a pickle fork, an air-hammer attachment would help, and a pitman arm puller.

Air hammer attachment?
Instead of whacking the pickle fork with a hammer, the shaft connects to an air hammer to break the joints loose. The pickle fork set I bought came with both shafts and they thread into the end so I can switch them out easily. It was much needed when I worked on my trucks steering rack.
