Gen 2 Slot Delete/Support kit Stage 1 and 2

[Peterb]

Just installed the Stage 1 LCA support kit this weekend. Very trick setup and went together smoother than I had anticipated! One slight "issue" I ran into was that the rear bracket on the back pocket pulled the LCA backwards ever so slightly (I'd guess 1/8") so now my 37's are rubbing the back of the front wheel wells a little more at full lock. In hind sight, I should have slotted the swaybar bracket holes in the rear brackets back about 3/16" to allow everything to tighten back down without straining/pulling the rear pocket. Just something to keep in mind when installing.

Just going to push me to get to trimming the wheel wells ASAP!

maybe an alignment will change this

Thanks for the feedback!!! Some lca brackets are less straight than others especially if the truck has been run offroad before the install of our kit. If you snug the main lca bolt and the 5/16 bolt first pulling the face of the support bracket to the lca bracket first then tighten the swaybar bolts it shouldnt pull the lca bracket back. If you look at the model this support bracket will move the lca bracket into its original factory position. There should be enough slot in those holes. either way when you align it check the caster numbers if they are good you are good to go

here is the shackle relocation kit. Lowers the frame pivot hole 2 inches and allows you to run a 2 in longer shackle without lowering the ride height. all the benefits of running longer shackles with out loosing height gains

Will this work with a '19 F-150?

Alignment went well and they made a great point that it's rubbing even more now at full lock because the LCA's are locked in their outermost position. When I was installing the kit, my previous alignment had the LCA's damn near the insides of the slots on all pockets.

And FYI my rear pockets were already very slightly bent, which is the main reason I went with your kit in the first place. I'm a happy customer and highly recommend this, especially for the price.

I got my stage 1 kit installed no issues at all. With the lowers at the out most part of the slot I adjusted my icons uppers for the most amount of positive caster and kept camber and toe in perfect OEM spec. LOVE how it rides and steering feels great. The caster moved the tire forward and created a little more room for activities in the wheel well!

I hate to revive an old thread. That being said. Does anyone have any videos installing this slot delete?
