I want to put 2 dual stabilizers on my dana 60 front axle but i want to know how they connect the 2 of them like in the pic im posting below.will i need to buy something extra to make them connect toghter like in the pic or no?thanks

 

You need a tab that sticks out in hte middle past the tie rod and has two bolt holes in it. then you need to weld tabs to either end of the tie-rod for hte other ends of the shocks.

If you arent running a 40" + tire, you dont need and shouldnt have two stabilizers. Maybe with 38's, but thats only for the extremely aggresive...

 

you need to weld them?are you sure about this?it just looks like a square piece that connects them.

 

Yes, he is correct. The tab still needs to be welded on, the shocks aren't just connected to each other.

 

They do sell bolt on kits but they are about as useful as **** in a bucket...

Also: I dont recommend doing it like the guy in hte picture did. I would mount the stabilizers behind the tie-rod just because it is easier and srtonger. This way there is very little leverage on the center mount.

Edit again: look at Pro's gallery. He used angle iron. Angle iron is good becauase it offers strength in two directions. You could do what he did but with two shocks and two pieces of angle iron OR one piece of flat-stock (1/4") and make it about 4" long and have it stick out about 3-4" fromt the axle and drill two holes in it. The second way would be easier but you would also want a 45* wedge in between the two mounting holes to offer lateral support.

 

True, and it looks like the style pictured is actually the bolt on type. Welding is my option of preference though.

 

Yes, I would much rather have weld on tabs than a bolt on thingy... My welds vs a china-man's bolt... hmmm wonder which Ill choose

 

Why would you need that on your truck? Problems with your steering? Those will only mask the problem....

 

thanks for the info i didn't know there was a bolt on and a weld on type.jeremy they are for going off road with large tires.

 

Personally I would only use two for 44's, but ABSOLUTELY never two under 40's. You are pretty close to 40's, but I didnt say 40's as an ideal minimum... 42's would be and absolutely-not under IDEAL, 40's being "what the hell close enough"
Did that make any sense?
anything under Id just stick with one. I do recommend one though... it helps with the out-of-control steering wheel problem... you know, when you end up with two broken thumbs...

 

I wonder why this guy has 4 of them?Isnt that overkill?

 

Save your coins and get hydralic assist. I tried dual stabilizers and they didn't help me any. Hydralic assist fixed all my problems. Looks cool too!

 

<!--StartFragment -->Because hes a moron. That could potentially be unsafe. With that many, the steering could become slow, and the pump has to build up pressure to turn the wheels causing a delay. It would start turning, but not fast until its built up enough pressure. Then you get the problem of an extremely hot PS pump, and I think we all know how easily they go out due to heat...



DTW, that guy has WAY TOO MUCH LIFT



Edit: I second the above.

My stuff, coming slowly: http://www.supermotors.org/mygarage/vehicles/content.php?id=9523&sID=27525

 

ive never had to run one on my truck....it just had the stock one from 78 that didnt do anything.

just run hydro assist, its money well spent, and your sector shaft will thank you

 

bp do you have pics of that hydralic assist setup?Sure would love to see it.
