Default Bump steer solution?

Since lowering my '04 Supercab with 3" DJM lower control arms (Flip in the back) I am having pronounced bumpsteer when I hit ruts or even bridge expansion joints. Not veer out of control bad, but enough to jerk the steering wheel out of my hand if I only have a loose one handed grip. I really like the look and handling of the drop otherwise so I would rather find a solution that allows me to keep the LCAs. In my search for a fix I came across a "bumpsteer kit" offered by these guys.

$150 is cheap if it fixes the problem, but very expensive if it does nothing or makes it worse. Anyone have any experience with the above kit or similar?.

No experience with this kit on a F150, but bump steer kits like this at very popular in the Mustang world with lowered cars. No reason it wouldn’t help at least a bit since your issue is a the alignment relationship between ththe tie rods and a-arms.

Thanks, I've seen plenty of Mustang kits on ebay so kinds figured it was an issue with those also.
