Sweet tyvm ,I posted in the main page thinking il get a faster answer n my ass not one reply Thanks for the pic looks awesome ! The shop guy that was workin with them today said they will work np. Did you need to change the tie rod? I seen alcon saying some trucks need their adapters
So the tie rods are only mandatory for the 2017's, the 2018's Do Not Need them per Alcon.
People will tell you they are needed but they ARE NOT for 2018+.

Not sure what kit your referring to but I didn't see why my icon uca and coilovers would be a issue for the brakes.

you're still using your factory spindles. the spindles on my truck are plate steel as part of SVC's mid-travel kit. The alcon rotors are too thick with not enough tophat clearance is the flat surface of the spindle.

Buy an R1 concepts kit made to your specs it’s well worth the $ and won’t be anymore than the Alcon kit. R1 will be made with proper materials.

This is incorrect. We have had customers have installation issues on 2018 trucks with OEM tie rods. Alcon has changed their tune and now recommends them for all trucks.

For this reason, we recommend you add Tie Rod Adapters to your order when you order the brakes. Once you’re ready for install, test fit the rotors on your truck.

If they fit with OEM tie rods, and you do not wish to keep the aftermarket tie rod ends, we will send you a shipping label for you to return them.
