from what i seen on the new ford F150's i didnt like it, they drop the steering rack or some crap like that, i cant remember exactly but it wasnt a very good design from what i remember, HOPEFULLY THEY WONT DESIGN THE HD'S STEERING LIKE THAT.......

that is a knuckle lift, see how the tierod is WAY above the centerline of the CV axle??? if it was a bracket lift it would be in the same plane as a stock setup like in HD's pictures not above it like the Rize pictures...... ive seen several HD trucks around here with the new rize kit, most got the drop cradles powder coated the same color as their truck....

I remember the good old days when I used to wheel my daily driver. I still wake up in cold sweats thinking the hours of sleep I sacrificed to piece things back together in order to get to work/school the next day.

You'll learn what I'm talking about someday....
