The Lee kit replaces all the flexible lines so my bases are covered. For about $150 more than what the dealer wanted I’ll have a fully upgraded power steering setup that solves a known weak spot with the Raptor (Ford pump and small reservoir)...
ah grasshopper..... he who fight steering wheel, blow pump....

Bingo! That what I thought U were thinking...I would've done the same thing based on the Dealer quote...The one anomaly is that to match or better the deal, U provide the labor, knuckle busting time!

I had lots of take off Raptor parts from my 13 and 14 so decided to build a 2wd Coyote play truck.
Truck will have McNeil 1 piece and bedsides, 37, 4:88's, Raptor lowers, spindles, uni-ball uppers, Deavers or a Spring under.. not sure yet. Gen 2 3.0 rears on fabricated upper mounts, 2.5x4 bumps, Front 3.0 using KHC shock buckets.

Taught myself to use a tube bender and started making the frame work for a tilt 1 piece

I do provide labor on this (4 hours give or take..), but I’m also getting a way superior steering pump setup as well. In my mind, that makes it better to go the route I’m going...
