I have an email out to the guys at ridetech with these pictures but i was wondering if anyone else had this issue. The large stud tie rod does not go all the way up into the steering arm. I also can not fit the cotter pin on the top either. it is the same on both driver and passenger side

I think you used the drag link stud instead of tie rod

Thanks for taking a look, I thought that at first also but it is the tie rod for sure, I already mounted the drag link successfully.

pull it back out and see if the tapered hole isn't reduced by powder coat, burrs or just plain out of spec.

Thanks for all your help Josh, yes I am moving right along. All of the bolts for my baer brakes bracket were long so i ordeded 2 1/4" grade 8's to run through the bracket and spindle so hopefully they will not interfere with the muscle bar. once i get those i should be able to get my rotors and calipers on. Thanks again!!
