Versatile Steering Setup: Comes with a bushing to support either flip high-steering or a standard configuration, giving you the flexibility to customize your setup.

Wrench Flats for Quick Adjustments: Forget wrestling with stubborn components. Wrench flats make installation and adjustments a breeze, whether you’re in the garage or on the trail.

Heat-Treated, Greaseable Ball Joints: For long-lasting durability, the included ball joints feature heat-treated 4140 steel studs and full greaseability, ensuring your steering stays tight and responsive.
