Has anyone seen these spindle spacers?

I may be wrong. But according to the website, it looks like they are only available for the 2004-2008 year models. Has the fit been verified?

Interesting for something so simple. Another way to help the UCA angle for when you're running a leveling kit. Much cheaper than uniball UCA's and perfect for those who don't want to run a uniball UCA. If only there was an efficient/cost effective way to correct LCA, tie rod, and CV angle's. Obviously a full lift could does this, but not everyone wants to go that high or run a tire large enough to look right with said lift. I don't think anything has changed as far as UCA or steering knuckles from 04-08 and 09-14 f150's. Only the LCA and struts are different I thought?

Through some research, it appears that the UCA's are the same from 2004-2015. Not sure why their website shows a break in the years. It kind of threw me off when it said 2009-2014 "coming soon". I sent an email to Accurate. Awaiting a response. According to their Facebook page, the 50% off expires tomorrow.

Here is the email response to my inquiry about the fit.
"Thanks for the inquiry! We believe so, but we haven't actually installed them on a newer truck to say for sure. We just sold a set to a guy last night with a '13. We do offer a money back guarantee(need to add that to our website), so if you try them and they don't fit/work, send them back for a full refund!"
Since my research points to the UCA's being the same, I am confident they will fit.
I am about ready to drop the hammer on these, as well.

I also inquired about them being reusable in the event of UCA/Ball Joint replacement. The answer is "yes", yet they can sometimes be stubborn to remove.
Ordered placed. $99.99 + $10 shipping

If you use red or blue loctite to install them you will need a High heat torch to melt and burn the loctite away before removal.
The question has been stated however, how do you keep the ball joint from rotating while you are threading this tapered socket onto the ball joint. I believe stock nut is torqued between 70-80 ft lbs.

They told me there was no need to shorten the stem to install them. I was curious due to the hex portion extending below the nut. Not sure if the 2004-2008's had this. The "pocket" must be deeper than it appears in the pictures. I guess I will be finding out in about a week.
