yup reading fail on my part... i was thinking this was just effort to be rid of the soft rubber/urethane ends. yes proper length and all that. As for tunning to that nth degree. I know my problem is still the nut behind the wheel. ;-) but im working on it.

I like the rounded ends on the Moog/OEM neon part to allow for worry free articulation. From the pic (if that is at ride height) it looks as though the f150 ends could be a touch too long for optimum.
