so you did it? yeah did it help? i need to get one. told my dad about it. he seemed game to get one to help with that.

it did help but i still get a little shimmy once in awhile. not sure why. i think i might have a wheel bearing going out.

question about this stabilizer im looking at getting one now since I have bigger tires, can u still have the skid plate in place after mounting this? or will the skid plate interfere?

 

[jacks3am]

you skidplate shouldnt be effected by it

 

[Big Red Monster]

good because I also have my air compressor mounted in that area and the skid plate sorta deflects rocks lol

Anyone try to or put a stabilizer on a expy that has air ride?

air ride doesn't affect having one or not

Thank you for the information!!!! Here is why I ask the question. I did the conversion from air to springs. Best thing ever. However now I have bump steer. When I did the conversion I had to shut off the switch for the air ride control. After all was installed I had to turn the switch back on because according to the instructions the air ride also had some sort of steering assist????. I drove the truck with it on and off and there is a difference in the steering ratio. The steering wheel is firmer with it on. I looked at KWT's pics and if i reference everything, I seem to have some sort of gear box??? where it mounts to the frame. I'm going to buy a moog kit from advance auto today and have it installed monday. I know I can get it a lot cheaper else where but the ease of return if it doesnt work is why I chose advance, I will shoot pics of it after. Damn I love this Forum!

resurrecting an old thread but i just got a rancho steering stabilizer that claimed to fit "oem" when i got the box it did not have instructions and also the were no u-bolts. by looking at the parts i have no idea how it would go on. does anyone have pics of the rancho stabilizer installed? thanks
