Default Need a quick favor...

I was out of town yesterday and my leveling kit and dual steering stabilizers came in the mail on thursday. I brought the truck to a shop to have the levling kit put on and the steering stabalizers but the guy ran out of time to do the stabalizers on. How hard is it to put those on yourself? I know Joe can do it but I want to know in advnace. Thanks

Basically an Unbolt and Bolt operation. The only "fabrication" he may have to do is if your truck has a factory single steering stabilizer, he may have to use a cut off wheel to remove the stock mount tabs which are welded on.

The only kit I've ever done required these to be removed. The new tabs were bolt on, and required drilling for the bolts, but the kit came with a template...

Now Frenchy, where did I say that you could not do it? LOL

Just lettin' y'all know what you may have to do that's not just turning a socket.

Not only do I have faith, but I'm expecting pics of the install so we can post up a DIY...

I've gone through two sets of ball joints in my truck already I do too much plowing in the winter and it definitely takes its toll on my truck. I have about 25 people I take care of over the winter I plow about 15 to 20 times over the winter so add it up.
