Help a brotha out

Its been so long that I forgot all the information stored in my head when I did the build on my truck.

UCA relocation brackets for my style of truck. Who makes them? Also any aftermarket tie rods? or how they were made to fit?

My degree in suspension geometry never did arrive in the mail.

For some reason I thought there was a bolt on kit to raise the uppers. Id hate to tear back into my powder coating. But if it has to be done ill do it.

I like how they don't offer any tie rods for fords.

They actually offer a ton more stuff then what they have on their site, just need to email them and wait a day or two for a response, they are a pretty busy shop with not much office help, and the link I posted was for their full front end kit which includes everything needed to flip the tie rod

97-03 Ford Front End Kit:

Jeebus Joint Upper Arm Pair:

Jeebus Joint upper Arms
Poly Bushings
Fully Welded
CNC Machined start to finish

Flipped Lower Arm Pair

Flipped Chevy Lowers
Lower bushings
Lower bag mount built into arm
Lower shock mount standard

Front End Bracket Kit

Raised Upper Arm Brackets
Upper Bag brackets, built for ford frame!
Upper Shock mounts

Flipped Steering Kit

Custom Machined Sleeve to Flip Tie Rod

raised upper mount: you want to keep your existing upper arm?
it can be as simple as cutting your stock one and raising them by 2" with a bended 2" flat bar.
making a bolt-on bracket should be pretty easy for the 97-03 front setup.

check out streetsource forum.
