    if you can do them at the same time, that way you only have to go in for the alignment and pay once..

    Yeah, my tie rods. Felt every little bump and had play. Bought CB arms and fixed the problem. Also both my rack bushings blew out before that, switched to poly and is all good now. If it happens again, I might try delrin.

    Who swapped your rack bushings out? I have a set of poly in the garage but the job seems difficult

    Had a shop cut holes out from my lift and swap for $350, now it's set up where all I have to do is remove the rack bolts to swap bushings. Dealer wanted $2700 to replace the rack.

    To replace the steering rack bushings. This is the fastest way I can think of. Unsure if it's different with the BDS lift or not.

    I'm on a 6" RC kit, do I need the front sway bar extended links? What about the steering kit from CB?

    Hey @Jsena I'll be ordering the Fabtec UCAs as well
