Thanks man! Those wheels were only 90 bucks each. The drop/raised steering arm keeps the steering linkage where its suppose to be. Its not a MUST have with just a 4" lift but it does keep the drag link from wearing out all the time from the angle put on it once the truck is lifted.

These frames are notorious for cracking at the mounting bolt holes at the steering pump after you run bigger tires. There is a couple good youtube videos showing how much the frame twists back and forth when turning the steering wheel left to right. My frame had a crack or two in it and will upload some more pics later. Those frame supports really stiffen up the steering too
