If it's the EPAS racks, they go even stock. Cv boots I haven't seen any go with a level yet

I'm in NS Canada. It a 2.5" lift we r having issues with. The 4" and 6" work great. They put driveline and steering angles almost at stock. I highly recommend spending the extra cash. Yes we warranty what we install.

Running bilsteins at the 2.25 setting and have had it on for a year, no issues as of yet. Have used 4wd a number of times and have run it for over an hour.

I just put it in 4hi and lo just to lube things up and test them tonight. No weird sounds and everything worked great. No abnormal tire wear, rotating every 3000.

As I have posted in other similar threads, I have a 2012 Eco Screw FX4. A few months after I purchased the truck, I had a 2" Pro Comp level installed. A few months after that I noticed a knocking in my steering column when driving over smaller washboard type bumps. The knocking seems to be getting more noticeable.
I am not a mechanic and rely on a lot of the information I read on this forum. From what I read in other threads, it seems that the level may have did something to the EPAS. Not too sure how the level kit affected the EPAS but am thinking of taking the level kit off and possibly getting a 4" lift. Apparently the smaller lifts don't change any angles or geometry of the suspension so should be less problematic. I really hope this works cuz that knocking is driving me nuts!!
