I have the relocation kit installed running 295/70/18 Ridge Grapplers on stock 08 Wheels. They clear the KDSS now but, full lock u-turns my Tire rubs the stock UCA. I am thinking a small Wheel spacer. Side note is that the Bushings will prematurely wear because the relocation puts everything in a sort of a bind.For a newbie like me:
1. How does the relocation bracket help and how big and wide of tires can fit? 295/70/18, 285/75/18, etc?
2. How does the timbren bump stops help with the lift?
Please let me know.
Do you have the product number by any chance for the Bump Stops? Thanks!
Thanks!!Timbren

Look up what linuxgod has written on relocating the links to run outboard on the arms. Need longer bolts and a spacer made for the original link pocket.Bumping this thread to ask if you guys installed the relo brackets yourself and/or how difficult it is. Seems dangerously simple...and that's usually when I get myself in trouble. Thanks in advance.
One last question, I promise! I got the relo kit installed but the bolts for the outboard links were severely delayed. So now that I have them and the spacers ready and bored to 9/16", I'll be moving them outside of their perches retroactively.One advantage of putting the links outboard is that it dramatically simplifies getting the links onto the arms..
Even with the KDSS balance screws open the pressure within the system will put a downward force on the KDSS arm, and it’s not the weight of the truck or anything but it is too much to do by hand. So I usually stick a 2x4 upright on the end of the floor jack to hold the arm up and manipulate it to get the link into it’s place in the arm pocket. With it being outboard this will be easier, but yeah you can just use the jack to get the arm up/down to line up the bolt hole.One last question, I promise!

Anything to know here? Is the KDSS bar under load? Seems like I could unbolt the links, jack the body up--pulling them out of the perches--then reverse the process but reattaching them to the outside. Thoughts? Should I strap the KDSS bar in place? Thanks in advance.
Fantastic.

For the passenger side.. with the balance screws open, the arm does still push down, which tends to pull the passenger side up, but the friction in the arm bushings is enough to hold it mostly still in my case. I usually put a large cheater or breaker bar above the sway bar across to the closest frame rail and can pull the arm down into place.
In the case of getting the links into the pockets without KDSS relo, which can be quite challenging, I’ll usually loosen but not remove the sway bar bracket bolts from the frame to allow the bar to move up and down and get me more slack. I think with just having to line up the links you won't need to do this, but it is an option if you have trouble.
As @bloc notes the bar will move around particularly if you’ve jacked the front end up to work under the truck, so ratchet straps and a long cheater bar will help you muscle everything back into place.
