Only have about 100 miles on them so far, but what a difference!

Nice...

Really...how so? I have been thinking about UCAs and Tie Rods, but just don't know What is wrong with the stock ones?

The truck just feels so much tighter through corners, way more than it has ever been before. This is probably due to the heim ends replacing the bushings. The truck is much more predictable on corner entry/exit. I'm also very surprised at the lack of increased harshness & vibration, which I thought there would be a lot more of without the bushings. Not to mention they look great and really stand out.

Thanks Mark...which UCAs did you go with exactly? Do you suggest doing the Tie Rods as well?

Thanks,

Fred

Icon's I believe they only offer the adjustable billets for the Raptor.

I can see the pro's and cons of the tie-rods, but I don't really want to get into that debate in here.

With any vendors tie rods you're making a great upgrade! Te stil tie rods are toothpick thin and have those ****** rubber bushings on the end which allows some slop and play in the steering! Getting rid of those bushings the response in steering gets better and yours teething feels solid no play at all it's nice to know that when you turn the steering wheel the wheels will respond right away!


That's why I got my RPG tie rods :party33:
