I don't want to speak on their behalf, but I will offer what I think I know.

The Rack and Pinion is a DSE product that they designed and are having manufactured.

The basics of the installation are that - - I believe it is located off factory holes in the front rails, then holes are drilled and crush tubes (correct terminology?) are welded into the factory frame rails. The lower crossmember and upper mounts then bolt in. From what I see the installation looks very straight-forward for someone versed in this type of work.

My personal opinion here, but this is DSE's best work yet from an engineering perspective.

Probably best to call and talk to them, but I thought I'd give my $.02.
