Skyjacker Dual Steering Stabilizer

Has anyone installed a Skyjacker Dual Steering Stabilizer?

I purchased this steering stabilizer for my 2000 V10, but the driver's side shock on the stabilizer won't fit. There is a "clamp" around the tie rod that is right where the driver's side stabilizer shock is supposed to pass the tie rod. The shock is supposed to mount to the middle support bracket and the bracket that attaches to the ubolts (both brackets provided by Skyjacker), but it won't fit because of this "clamp".

Has anyone experienced this problem and know how to mount the shock?

I called Skyjacker and sent them pictures, but the gentleman I talked to said he had never seen that "clamp" on a tie rod before.

Thanks for any help.

My X came with the stabilizer, but I don't remember a clamp anywhere. I'm on the road working and will not be home for another week and half. But I'll look once I get come home if need be.

I stopped by a local off road shop and they verified that I could rotate the "clamp" to it would be out of the way.

Here are pictures of the position of the clamp before and after.

That looks right. I'm not a big fan of the rubber boot.

I've posted a couple pictures and more details about the lift I did after getting some additional details/input from BP22.

Let me know if you need any other details and I'll help if I can. I can take other pictures if you want to see anything in particular.
