I love the product itself. It comes with all the hardware I needed for my 2005 Excursion 4x4. It works much better than my original with 118,000 miles. It also looks great. The reason I splice the star is because there are no instructions. Nothing at all. It's not even a picture on the box of an installed one. I understand that this isn't rocket science and that this is one of the easiest things to do with a vehicle, but I also understand that it's even easier to follow some instructions with torque values, gear orientation and what people do with this big A company like Rancho should make spacers. .
