It seems like the new rack and tie rods coming together as a full setup from Ford for less than $1,000 seems like a way to go for many people as long as they can sort out the programming on their own? I like the Bronco buster stuff but almost $400 for that bushing seems like a lot of money, and then $400 for the band-aids for the factory tie rods (the icon tie rods will effectively end any need to buy those Bronc buster blocks), and over $1,000 for the upgrade to the factory rack seems like a lot of money. The bummer with a Ford rack is that they sell as only as a long rack or a short rack (the short rack comes with the inner tie rods and the long rack comes with both inners and outers). There's also a $400 core charge...but you get a stronger motor to help turn bigger tires. If somebody buys the icon tie rods when they are available, and the short rack from Ford, they're still into it for about $1,400 plus the core charge (and they would not even be using the Ford inners). You are running 37s, correct? How much lift? I am just stock Sasquatch with 35s and do not intend lifting it any more that...just wondering if the "tipping point" for wear and breakage is when the angulation changes to any greater degree then the factory Sasquatch and 35s,? If not, then I can imagine that Ford will be replacing a lot of steering racks and tie rod ends for all the folks who keep their rigs stock.Sorry I should have been clearer the end cap of the rack was showing signs of wear. Attached are a few pics of mine. Inside the end cap of the rack there is only a seal. No real support In my opinion. The tie rod operating angles on a lifted Sas will transmit a bunch of force into the rack. If you beef up tie tie rods and do not address the rack you will be sorry. That said I’m impatiently waiting to buy these tie rods
