Hi, I usually don't post, but I sure do get alot of info from this site. I was unhappy with the steering, and rattle-feedback of my 07 classic. I tried numerous time at the dealer (the lower column bearing was bad). They alway said it was within specs. When I installed the braces, I was amazed at the clever design, no more drag link roll. Steering is much more precise. The factory tie rods are a joke. When I tapped on them when they were out, you could feel a resonance in them, like a tuning fork. I think that was getting transmitted through the steering wheel. The Cognito Tie rods did not do that, and are more than twice the size. It's fun to drive.
Now just maybe a sway bar upgrade, and it would be the way Chevy should have built this truck.

Yes, I was happy with the directions, also. I have bought chinese furniture recently, with the instructions wrong and the hardware missing. American products, with Yankee ingenuitity Rule!

Glad to hear more happy people. I am going to make the purchase also before I break something doing a 4hi launch.
