Nobody makes a stock set-up. The lokar kit isn't bad but it has problems, first being that it's a "one-size-fits-all" application. The linkage isn't in the right geometry and the hardware is prone to come loose. I'm basing this on several installs in different vehicles. It's usable, but the original set-up works much better. If you can find a good used one on here that's the way to go, what you need to look for is metal-to-metal wear. I managed to find one that had been blasted and like new for about $30.
