Yeah, stabilizers are a band aid fix for poor steering geometry/worn steering components..

^ I agree the only way to fix steering to to gut the hole front end if look at parts to see if they are failing.

Oh if you are going to buy stuff from top guns call them! They will drop the price. I did that on of lift and everything else I ordered with it.

I agree that the front end needs to be squared away 1st. Skyjacker recommends a single for tires below 33", and a dual for 35" and up. So, will go completley through the front end and pick up the dual set. Thanks for the input!

AFTER, I changed all bars, tie rods, and ball joints...I installed this exact set to my truck; it made a nice difference! On the way home from the alignment shop I figured that would be a good time to test them out so I ran over a 4 inch curb at an angle about 20 miles an hour and the steering didn't even twitch.

One thing to note about the set, make SURE you specify what front axel you have (measure the diameter). I have the Dana 60's which require a different set...they are not clear on that when ordering. I had to adjust two of the u-bolt holes and buy a couple of bigger u-bolts...figure it was cheaper to do that than pay for return shipping.

Hope this helps...BTW I agree with what everyone else has said...these are a final touch to a thorough revamp of all steering components.

That's a good way to knock to toe out.

It never hurts to call. the only reason I did is I want diff stuff with the lift. Got a GOOD deal for what I paid.
