Default help choosing bumpsteer kit

I need a bumpsteer kit. I'm going with MM, but which is better or the difference. Tapered stud or bolt through style? Need some help.

The tapered stud is easier to install and typically has enough room for adjustment for most people. The bolt has a wider range of adjustment, but if you're using 17" or smaller rims yu could possibly run into fitment issues. You also have to drill out the hole in the spindle, which is a PITA.

I think either will work. I personally would get the tapered stud as it would provide plenty of adjustability. If you end up having to buy shorter bolts it negates the price difference. Just try to set it up properly. I used a digital level and got my A-arm angle and the steering arm angle within half a degree of each other. Not the best way, but it worked well for me.
