Since the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 is going to mount to the factory holes there is only going to be a small amount play possible. I recommend when you install the brackets to leave all the bolts loose and verify the axle sits square inside the frame. The best way to do this is by ensuring he hubs are equal distance from the frame on each side and using the front ball mount as a measurement point to the front of each hub to ensure it is equal distances back on each side. Be sure to use a common hub point on each side and do not use the tires since they can wear and flex differently.
