Fitment issues!!!!! But, I was told that these were the correct brackets for the UCA's. I tried to find some pictures of other Dodge dually diesels to reference, but only found one truck.

Trials and Tribulations of buying something that that was Top Shelf and finding that it wasn't what was expected.

At the beginning of this stage of installing all the front end pieces, I found that the LCA bushing were too small for the stock cam bolt to go through. 2 sets of bushings and sleeves had to be sent to me. The Third set was correct. I was also told that my truck was not correct, but he was able to go buy the same cam bolt I had to make corrections on his side.

Steering:

Wish I had check everything over before I started this job. My daily driven truck was down for 3 weeks, having to rent a BS car, all because of too small of sleeve bushings, wrong sleeve bushings, UCA bracket issues, missing hardware, steering adapter or coupler thread size being too small, and waiting for the correct pieces to show up. On top of this, the only customer to vendor interaction was email. I could not get a phone call to save a life. It is very hard to type the specific issue you are having via email all the time.
I asked for pictures of a Dodge dually with this kit...check FB for them...NOT SO MUCH. I spent hours searching the web for anyone that had installed MMW arms on a Dodge dually diesel. Nothing came up. I did find one truck with a total of 4 shots on FB. But, this one had different brackets....that cleared everything that I had issue with! WTF.

All is together, but still waiting on the steering couplers to show up. So, I paid the alignment guy to come to the house to check things over before I show up to his shop. Yeah, the UCA brackets had to be modified again to give him more positive camber adjustment...
Another email to the vendor....this is what is going on. I think I should have received those other brackets, the ones that were only for the earlier 3rd gen dodges, since now I had to extend the adjustment outwards off the frame to correct the cambering issue.
Vendor replied, we will send you the new UCA brackets once the new machine is up and running. The couplers should be showing up anytime. And, the longer bag mounts will be made, but you will be charged for them since there isn't anything wrong with the one you already received.

But, ended up having to tow a fella's FS Bronco because of two broken rear shafts and a broken knuckle. Yes, that is a guard rail we found to use as a sled.

I've talked with them on Facebook, I'm not a fan every reply has been smug. Evil Twin in Arizona is another one that won't do what they say and never call you back. The only shop I've found that has a good attitude is Nfamus in Mansfield,TX they have always responded to any emails, text or phone calls. After being lied to for months from Evil Twin I couldn't believe it when the owner of Nfamus actually got on the phone and talked with me. I guess not all shops have turned to crap.

Agree with that. Is like some shops think their crap doesn't stink. Well, the thing is...this vendor did answer my emails after hours, but everytime it seemed like the finger was pointing at me. Like I was doing something wrong. I could have been a real ass, but I worked with them to get things corrected. They even sent me a solidworks package to have new tabs made. But, I paid good money for this kit and feel like I should receive what I paid for.
