Awesome work. I have Outfitter Design Steering Rack Reinforcement Kit in my garage and can't find time to install it for couple years now. How long did it take you?

Took me about 2.5 hours without taking the rack 'n pinion out of the truck, it's a fight but it's done. It actually tighten up the steering.
Here's a detailed write-up from the other forums that requires a complete removal of rack n' pinion.
