Rancho RS5000 Steering Stabilizer

I bought this here stabilizer because it was described to me a bolt-in replacement for the stock POS that was completely seized. I get out under my truck to find the Rancho is about twice as long as the stocker. I went to adjust the mounting bracket and to my surprise it cannot be moved down the center link as I had hoped. Does anyone know if there is a mounting kit WITHOUT the stabilizer I can buy?

Also, no mounting hardware came with the stabilizer, is it possible to find the metal sleeves to go in between the grommet on the damper and the bolt that holds this to the truck? I dont have a press to remove the ones from the stocker and the good ol punch and hammer method isn't working.

Thanks guys!
