    This. I suggest ordering soon as you decide since there’s usually a wait. Also, opt for the upgraded hardware because they’re way more stout and snug fit than OEM

    I need to do this. My LCA bushings are making all sorts of noise. I have all new parts on my kitchen floor.

    Tried to solve a mystery squealing noise that only happens when backing up. It only happens once during the first drive of the day and then goes away; repeats the next day. I replaced the shoes and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I'm guessing maybe settled dust or light rust? Anyone else have this issue? It's so loud that I tend to get all the dogs barking in the neighborhood :rofl:

    I am surprised at how much difference this made. Mine was clunking bad when went over bumps. That stopped and the truck rides a lot smoother. I think all the bushings were totally shot as were the lower ball joints.

    I had a similar squealing type noise when backing up and coasting downhill and after I did all the u joints and center bearing the noise went away. I believe it was the center bearing though as it had a fair amount of play. Noticed it most when backing uphill.

    The website, packaging, instructions, box, etc. say 2016 forward, but it lines up fine. You are required to ream out a frame hole for the rear bolt and will need an 18mm bit, also...

    good luck with the nut ‘inside’ the frame.

    Beefy (five 12mm bolts through two frame members and the main plate is >7/8” thick), good fit, dumb instructions, one fastener that will make a preacher curse.

    The rear bolt is ‘hooked’ through the vertical plate. This appears to be intended to give a solid attachment for this fastener for pulling, but would ‘unhook’ in a forward collision, preserving the crumple zone in the frame rail at this location (the little ‘accordion dimples’ in the frame seen below)

    I believe he has a very small operation and makes them small batches at a time. Keep an eye out and they will be back in stock at some point. Ive been waiting to pull the trigger on them too.

    Ok. Other products on the site CAN be added to cart. Just not THIS product. It DOES say "3 week lead time", which I'm ok with. But you have to add it to the cart to order it.o_O I'm patient tho'. I sent an email to them:thumbsup:
