Default Hard steering after perfex install

Just finished installing the perfex kit on my rancher.It is still on the atv lift awaiting new tires.Ive noticed that the steering is about 4-5 times harder than it was before the install.Seems the tie rods are at a very critical angle.Will the steering loosen up?Im sure with the angle of the tie rods,steering has less leverage.Dont know if Im gonna like this kit.The light steering of the rancher is one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.Anything else to check for?Thanks.

PERFEX? You think it was designed by an engineer (it wasn't)? Does it look like it (not to me)?

So you haven't noticed what it does to your back brake adjustment yet? It might take a little time to show on the CV joints. You will notice the difference in camber as soon as you take it off the lift (its off enough to see it by eye).

Not to give you a hard time or critcize you for trying it (as I did), but it's a rudementry couple of brackets that's only purpose is to trick the shocks into being softer, at the expense of many other things (that aren't mentioned in any advertising).

I took my front brakets off before I had 5 miles on them. The rear came off soon after that. To think an $80 kit would work correctly was foolish of me.
