Steering Stabilizers




Current single stabilizer set up. Between the axle and (please help) attatched to the bar that runs all the way across.

I am wanting to go to a dual set up because I really like the look. If I purchase a dual set up how do they get placed out front so they can be seen like on other trucks I have seen?

Just installed a Skyjacker dual kit. My set up looked just like yours. You place the new dual on the front of that steering bar. I had to cut off the U shaped clip for clearance. Wow, what a difference in stabilization! I have 33's on for tires and made big difference.

Thank you 1966MN! I was looking at the rough country ones but I may look at the skyjackers as well.

dmccorkle911, just curious, why did you install your duals under mount instead of top mount? Your clearance is less...

Looks good, except for your passenger side add-a leaf is twisted. Put a leaf spring retainer strap on to stop that. Like the one on the very rear of the spring pack, you might be able to slide that one fwd? But I seem to remember a rivet or something holding it back there?

Flip your center bracket over to the top of your axle tube and it will raise your shocks higher.
