It definitely adds some strength, and puts the steering components in proper alignment when you are above 3" of lift. My rig drives great with absolutely no bump steer. Feels very tight and solid. And to me, the red looks better than the orange and black from the competitors products, personal opinion of course.

Yeah... stronger, moves it all higher, and brings it closer to the correct steering geometry. Also the bump stops are solid, and are shaved to the length you desire... and they are front and rear on both sides... for a firm stop.
Other than that... can't think of a single benefit! LOL!
Sorry for the upside down pic... lol -it was straight when I sent it.

Y, I was looking at the steering stops and it appeared they were front and back. So we're essentially talking a very strong comp to a Reid knuckle for a good ~$170 less? Reid pushes the fact that the TR is really overbuild and could be drilled out for 1-ton ends in the future. I don't see Rancho saying anything about that aspect so presume that might be one small difference.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I have to admit, there are a couple things I hadn't considered before. I don't have hydro....yet....and never really thought about things like how easy it would be to bent/damage a steering stop, and the resulting damage that could do to your u-joints or RCVs.

We haven't drilled one out yet, but that shouldn't be an issue as mentioned beefy.
