Serious Steering?

Is this pretty much a direct bolt in kit? I want beefier steering, but I dont really want to have to do too much work to it. Also has anyone used this? How do you like it?

i have the rustys kit and have been satisfied with it so far. running on 9 months...
the only thing i dont like about the rustys kit is its a bit of a pain to align with you haveing to seperate the draglink from the tie rodand then the draglink will only mount to the tie rod in one way, leaving you about 30 degrees to fine tune you're alignment.

The serious kit is a great kit from my experience with it so far, the "hard" part is drilling the knuckles and pitman arm out for the inserts, which is actually easy with a good drill (luckily i have a large chuck air drill) and some cutting lube, I even used cheap tool shop branded bits from menards, worked awesome. (5/8, then to 7/8)
The kit is pretty ridiculous in comparison to stock, and is way easier to align if you're into doing it yourself.
I highly reccommend it.

Great kit, love mine. My knuckles were easy to drill out. The hard part for me was the pitman arm, I ended up having to pull it and have it done at a shop.

As soon as I got my Rusty's kit I was regretting my decision to not just put my big boy pants on and drill out my knuckles for the Serious kit with the inserts. As already stated the alignment on the Rusty's kit is a PITA and the Serious kit is beefier as well.
Looks like I spent my money twice again....you'd think I'd learn my lesson.
Talk to Frank if you have questions. He's super prompt and provides excellent customer service.
