When you move on to an aftermarket k-member, will I ABSOLUTELY need it, or can the installation be completed without it. I will be finishing my k-member, a-arm, & coil over install within 2 days. Like i said, do I absolutely need the bumpsteer kit, or can the installation be completed with the stock tie rod, does the bumpsteer kit replace the stock tie rod end. Any help appreciated, thanks. The reason I am asking is because I dont really have the money right now for the kit, but if its needed, well I guess I'll have to get it.

A bumpsteer kit will replace the rod ends. It will be necessary IF the tie-rods are not as close to parallel with the rack as possible. When the vehicle is lowered the tie-rod end usually ends up being higher than the rack centerline.
