Before you buy
A vehicle alignment will be required after installation. Due to variances in tie rod assembly, this kit does NOT fit Ford Bronco Raptor models. This kit does NOT work with 5"-7" strut spacer lift kits. The spacers move the strut position, creating contact issues with the tie rod assembly. Vehicles running a 5"-7" lift kit will need to use an 18" or larger wheel to ensure proper clearance from the tie rod end.
