I used the moog's in my shop for years and they work perfect, But I used these they were a lot easier.
These sleeves have a fixed positive camber and caster change and are designed specifically to align trucks that have been lifted or to provide more caster. Use a 23268 on the driver's side and a 23269 on the passenger's side.
Speciality Products
Front Adjustment range:
23268 Cam +.50 / Cas +2.3
23269 Cam +.30 / Cas +2.6
The Moog's are fine though.

Brackets installed and truck realigned with stock bushings and it drives straight as an arrow and tightened the steering back up. Thrilled with how it drives now. I'm glad I finally found out what was needed to make this truck enjoyable to drive again. I can take my hand off the wheel at any speed and no issues.

Not sure but they were the only company I found when looking for them. Plus they spent about 20 min on the phone answering all my questions. They also offer coating options if you want the brackets coated and not raw. I had them coated locally.

I mentioned it to the shop and to be honest didn't ask afterwards because it drove perfectly. I forgot to get the printout to see exactly what it was set at because I was thrilled that it drove properly. I'll grab the printout today and see but either way, this is how I expected the truck to drive just wish I tried this fix sooner.

Yes I did prior to the brackets and it took it almost completely away. I'm going to do a steering stabilizer just to get rid of the last little bit. I have a dual setup from Kelderman I was waiting to install, if need be, after the brackets were in. I'll probably get that put on today and let you know the final outcome as well.

Curious to see the Alignment print out. Would have been some help if we could see the print out from the previous Alignment also. 1 deg isn't much of a help to the way it was described as handling before. Also make sure they use the 17 software, You can tell if they scan your Vin# then select HD or Standard. Big Difference in HD vs Standard Specs.
Glade to see your heading in the direction you wanted.

I don't know for sure but if you call Wicked Customs i'm sure they'll take the time to tell you. And i only say that because i had a good experience on the phone with them. I can't even get someone from BDS to call be back so i gave up on them.

They did use the stock bushings, and i'm almost positive that i was told that the brackets give you about 2 degrees with the 2" lift so that's why i could use the stock bushings over. I could be wrong on the degrees but i'm positive on the stock bushings.
