even with the kit you may have to do some trimming on the plastic bumper valance if you haven't done so. Also when you get an alignment they will adjust your torson bar as needed. last time I got an alignment they uncranked 1 of my bar about 8 turns. Not sure about your bushing issue did they say your bushing are bad?

i haven't looked yet but i belive they are just the driver side. it moved about 2 or 3 inches to the front by the bumper. when i am backing out of my drive i notice it hit the bumper. then i had my wife back up and i saw the front driver wheel hit the bumper. thats how i saw it move 2-3 inches.

i contacted cognito and there should not be any trimming on this kit, that i got with 265/75r16 tires. so is there anyone out there that can help me out. my driver side tire is the only one that hits my bumper when it goes in reverse. the passenger side doesn't hit only driver side and i see over 100 poeple has looked at this and only one persons has replied.

Are the UCA and LCA bushings ok? Does the UCA look like it is moving in any way? As stated above check out if your truck is level. Keep posting any new things that you have found.

if your wheel is moving 2-3 inch you gotta have something loose , wheel bearing or a-arms bushing or something . i have 265 on my 04 and i got about 1 inch or clearance and everything is stock didn't even need to crank the bars
