Anyone have pics of a full Kryptonite centerlink and tie rods on an LML?

We are working on installing a kit on a lifted truck and are having a problem with clearance between the tie rod and the bump stop mount on the frame. The Dmax Store won't open until 10am local time to ask a question, and I wanted to see if this is related to the lift on the truck or if there is some sort of modification you have to do to get the proper clearance. If anyone has installed this kit on an LML with pictures, we would love to see them. Thanks.

Don’t have access to the truck right now, but I’ve got full Kryptonite steering on my truck (‘15’ LML). Stock height, didn’t have any clearance issues.

I have the LMM which might be different but if you have a lift on your truck you will need the longer sway bar end links. It’s gives you more clearance. It might be different on the LML but on the LMM that’s the case. Hope that helps.

what kind of lift? if the tie rod placement at the knuckle has varied enough to cause it to rub, it will have some pretty bad steering geometry beyond that rubbing.

how much has to be ground out? id give you some pics josh but i dont have any.

The lift is a 6” rough country. There’s a pic of the problem we are experiencing.

Do you think the angle will change once the suspension is at ride height vs being at full drop out like now .

In case anyone else ever runs into this problem, they don’t provide any instructions or guidance of any kind to tell you this, but despite appearances of the ends being the same, there is an inner and outer tie rod end. If it isn’t installed correctly, you will have clearance issues like we had. You can identify which end goes out by the small notches in the tie rod sleeve as shown in the attached picture. Hopefully that helps prevent someone else from scratching their head wondering why it doesn’t fit.
