Awhile back my truck wouldn't lock into park all the way (fixed problem if anyone is having that issue) at it sat on a hill. Long story short the truck rolled all that way into the wood. Not a scratch on the truck luckily. Anyways it rolled over a big stump and literally snapped the part of the steering gear box the pitman arm gets bolted to. Also knocked thesee stabilizers out of place I put them back where and how I think they're supposed to go but they did move alittle to the right. I can see where they were before but I can't remember how they looked before the incident. I need to find out how to get them in the right spot. I was thinking you'd turn the wheel fully to one side and extend the stabilizer so it has enough play to be able to turn completely in both directions if that makes any sense. Somebody explain it to me. I'm replacing shocks soon. Also I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be some bushing on that end 😂
Yes on both. With the wheels pointed straight ahead, you want the shock mounted in the middle of its stroke. If the shock moves 12" from compressed to extended, it should mount with shock 6" into its stroke. And you sure need a new one!!

thank youď and yaa the one behind it is just as bad if not worse and the other four I'm not sure even compress at all. I plan on redoing the lift and replacing all 6 shocks
Also verify the stabilizer whenever you replace it or take it loose, measure the extended length and compressed length, as mentioned first center the stabilizer in the middle of its stroke when wheels are pointed straight, verify that its not bottoming out in both directions, turn hard left and measure, it should be less than the extended measurement, repeat by turning to the right, it should be more than the compressed measurement
