Seems to be missing the drop pitman arm.... which may, or may not be necessary. Certainly make the truck easier to align. I would call and ask 'em about it before ordering. I am surprised they don't list it as an option. Everything else is there.

Another thing you may want to consider, since they are including a drop bracket for the track bar, ask what the price difference would be with a 'conversion' track bar bracket, to go to the third-gen style (fourth gen? Has bushings on both sides, instead of the prone-to-failure ball and socket on one end)

Hhhmm...... I am not entirely sure I would buy into that line... but then, I am not the engineer designing the kit either. From everything I have seen, anything over about 4 inches of lift, a drop pitman arm is just about a requirement to maintain steering geometry, I am real curious how they work that. Sure, there is SOME adjustment in the linkages, but, I didn't think there was THAT much.......
