[QUOTE="Nick@Apollo-Optics, post: 1477767, member: 1314"] Just to clarify from a few questions I've received via email and PM. Gen 1 Raptors - Tie Rods or Tie Rod End Adapters are required for installation of the front brake kit. Gen 2 Raptors - Tie Rods or Tie Rod End Adapters MAY be required for installation of the front brake kit. I know this is ambiguous, but blame Ford. Ford uses at least 2 different manufactures for the OEM tie rods. Some of them have necessary clearance for the larger Alcon rotors, some of them do not. This is not a problem unique to Alcon, Wilwood also has this issue. We recommend that your purchase tie rod ends with your front kit and have them handy during installation in the event your truck does required them. If you test fit your Alcon rotors and have tie rod clearance, we will send you a shipping label to return the tie rod ends to us and you will be refunded in full! Lastly, for the 2019 and 2020 Raptors, you can only purchase the front brake kit. The Alcon calipers are not compatible with the electronic parking brake on the rear axle. The system remains in balance with the front end doing the majority of the braking with the Alcon kit installed. We can offer upgraded rotors and pads for the rear axle as well as upgraded brake lines (front and rear) to maximize the performance of your braking system overall. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out! [/QUOTE]
