^ Oh, I have them, they are just in storage at relatives' house where I could find room. It would've taken me longer to drive around and gather them up than it would to do the work. LOL

But thanks for the offer.

An update to Post #9

After a week plus of emailing, phone calls and sending pictures to Top Gun Customz, we are close to having a resolution. Here's the story...

Top Gun apparently redesigned the center bracket some time back to provide more clearance to the steering linkage, so they asked me to measure mine. According to the measurement, I have the redesigned bracket and still have the hitting/rubbing issue. They have never had another truck with the rubbing issue after the redesigned center bracket. Considering that and after more pictures sent and discussion, we moved our attention to the outer brackets. Last Tuesday, they informed me that they are going to redesign the outer brackets to extend them 5/8" of inch. I crawled back under the truck with that in mind and told them that should work. So, any day now I should receive the working prototype outer brackets for install. They say after I install and confirm it fixes the problem they will ship the redesigned outer brackets with all future orders.

Top Gun Customz have been very accommodating to resolve this issue. That kind of customer service is not commonplace these days and it is very much appreciated.

Way to go. With that type of customer service you will keep going back and recommending them. It is great that a company is taking pride in their business and their customers.

^ I agree. They could've easily said..."we've never had anyone report that issue, good luck with it". But instead, redesigning the brackets...WIN!!!

***UPDATE***

First insert steering linkage rod in place of tie rod above.

Finally received the new, redesigned center bracket and both outer brackets on Friday...can you believe they originally told me 1 to 2 weeks to get them, yeah right, more like 1-1/2 months. Anyway, got them installed yesterday and there are no more rubbing issues and this mod is finally complete!
