Steering Damper/Leveling Kit

After searching to no avail I was wondering if anyone had install instructions for a steering damper on my 97 F250 HD. I bought one from KYB but the directions are terrible. I also would like to know any suggestions on a front end leveling kit.

Thanks...

Most have two brackets. First small one gets bolted to about the center of the tie rod. Depending on what the frame bracket looks like, it will bolt to frame rail. Might have to adjust things so it has the proper travel.

My '89 kit, the frame bracket is just two pieces you sandwich around RH frame rail and hangs down to allow shock mounting. Mine is Rancho model.

Does your look like this picture? This is just like my Rancho kit. I can get you pictures of mine bolted on if it is.
