I know there was one guy on here awhile ago that had it. He bought it from ebay (not that it makes a difference) and claimed that it was completely fine.

I also seem to remember a newer post where a guy broke something immediately after installing it. He also reported that the company refunded his money.

I hope they aren't being used as spacers for the springs. There wouldn't be any more room for compressing. Lol

noticable bump steer only occurs at full droop and full bump. and the chances any of you guys see that kind of travel with stock suspension is 0%

lol thats got nothing to do with bump steer. the backside of the bottom of the strut hits the lower control arm at full droop. check it out. go jack up your truck and look at the backside of the lower control arm. youll see where the strut touches it. nothing a little grinding cant fix lol
