Does this 4.5" lift look even?

Yes please! I'm already trusted front and rear with Arctec and was wondering how I was going to attach axle end of ram. Was hoping it could fit in the same bracket my current stabalizer is in.

definitely won’t be able to mount it the same way and use tie bar tube clamp. You’ve already got Apex Chassis tie bar so have the two hole OEM mounting holes. Basically your track bar bracket will just be for your track bar.

Perfect. Great install and I'm clear now. Did you tap your steering box? Did you use their guide?

Apex prefers to put the hydro pressure to the tie rod end near knuckle rather than center of tie bar.
The bottom pic shows the rectangle cutout in my truss but clearly the Apex bracket adds much more than what I took away.
The middle pic shows the small cutout I had to make for the back half of the bracket to rotate into place and the extra two holes I drilled in truss is to access the Allen head bracket bolts and torque it down.

I did port my box with their porting kit. Worked well. Kinda a pain in the butt to drill upside down and get perfectly straight so patience is key.

In case you didn’t know, Apex Chassis updated the jam nuts and now offer multi-tab Ninja washers. The jam nuts have 3 Allen set screws like a PTO shaft and with the Ninja washers you won’t ever have jam nuts loosen up like the original jam nuts and Belleville washers likes to do. Little bit of work to change them all out but definitely worth it. The Ninja washers take the place of the Belleville washers.
