Firms up steering with large tires
By J.
This kit comes with 2 steering stabilizers (shocks). The first one replaces the factory stabilizer. The second one clamps onto the track bar and tie rod with U bolts.It did not quite fit my 2005 TJ. The hardware to attach the first stabilizer to the steering assembly didn't fit. The bolt was too thick. I got a grade 8 1/2-13 3.5" bolt from Lowes to replace it. You will also need a metal sleeve to fit inside of the bushing. They only included one sleeve in the kit (for the other end), but I had one from my old stabilizer. 3.5" is actually quite long for the bolt, and you can probably use a 3" if you want a shorter bolt.For securing the other end of the stabilizer to the frame bracket I used a 1/2-13 2.5" bolt. The bushings gave that end a very tight fit. I had to slightly bend the bracket out to get it in there.The second stabilizer was easy to install. Just mount the brackets with the U bolts and basically make it look like the picture. This shock has a OAL of 17" closed and 25" extended. You want to make sure that when you tighten the U bolts in place, the shock is exactly 21" long. The will give you the most amount of travel left and right.Since these shocks will stiffen your steering up, don't turn the steering wheel when you're not moving. You don't want to overwork your power steering. I noticed a big improvement in the stability of my steering. Any little bump used to make my steering wheel jerk to the side. Now it is more stable. I recommend these if you have 35" or larger tires. It's probably overkill for 33" and smaller.This review sounds long, but actually it only took me about an hour to install.
