Kryptonite stuff or???

I have that stuff already, this should be the last of front end stuff. Too bad winter is coming.
I bent my idler arm, pitman arm and stock center link with a 20# boosted launch at TS. I don't have kryptonite parts but I just installed a straight center link, HD pitman and idler arms, and rareparts tierods, and have had the same set up on my LLY and couldn't bend anything being leveled and then some on 35's and some hateful launches.
I was in my tune 4; 575hp. No boost. Floored from a stop. As soon as the turbo lit things got ugly.
I went to see if I could add a dhd brace, and no f way. Then I looked again and saw why! My kryptonite centerlink had rotated and my ultimate idler stud was bent. UA cust svc is top notch and rebuilding is only $30. After Christmas I'll yank and send. Then I'll try to fit the dhd and ultimate idler.

I have the rare parts gen 2 tie rods, (inner and outer) moog pitman and idler and the cognito centerlink kit (cause truck is lifted) and kryptonite lower ball joints and It all has been working great. Boosted launches and everything. Used ti have the DHD center kink brace before lift and that worked great also. Its sll good stuff.

He is selling off what's left of his stock, I just bought 1 the other day and got it yesterday, so they are still available. Plus a 100 bucks is cheap. I am running the DHD brace, so I hope I don't bend this one.
Good to know, need to snag another one for my lb7. I'm not paying for the overpriced kryptonite idler.
I just ordered one so still available. looks like its the only thing on the website at all .glad i saw this the kognito one is more than double. i love this forum my truck wouldnt be possible without u guys. merry Christmas!!! :hug::hug:
I popped off the Ultimate idler and slapped in my spare Moog idler. Then I put in my new DHD lower arm bracket. Lastly, I mounted the DHD centerlink brace. It FITS!!! There about a RCH worth of room.
I took it out and found a dry patch of road; it had been raining. Boosted launch in tune 5 @636hp in my 8000lb+ truck was rock solid with just a slight pull left off the line. Fingertip easy steering. When I get the ultimate idler rebuilt and reinstalled that will surely go away, based on my prior experiences.

Same way I managed to bend fab tech tie rods. Wot and a hopping front end with lots of power bends shit in a hurry. Bent my stock centerlink along with them
It really shouldn't be needed with the braces on the kryptonite setup. The leverage to twist the center link is half of what stock was and the braces work far better that way. It's a copy of my exact kit but to sell in the states, they sell the kit with cognito braces as cognito has quite the patent on the brace setup. You basically can't sell anything that double shears the idler/pitman arm. Exact uses a 1/2" billet brace on the idler arm only and does really well but that doomed them from selling here. I can launch the shit out of my truck and will break everything else accept the idler/pitman arm. Hell my pitman arm wore out at 50k miles from too much in and out play, had 0 front to back play
