Good to hear!

Another good steering stablizer to consider if you can't afford the Fox ATS is a Bilstein. They are only $86, have no left push & more heavy duty than factory.

Thought about this too... Have one on my diesel and its pretty decent

I've got the ATS and I am really happy with it. I don't have any push and having the ability to dial in your feedback is a nice touch. Its certainly tucked up high out of the way which is also a huge plus. Also install is a minor challenge due to the limited instructions you get with it. The pictures help out more then anything. Lastly I ended up cutting the old SS bracket off because I couldn't get it to open wide enough to slip it off. Other then that everything was pretty straight forward.

Looks good. I am looking forward to putting mine on. One thing I noticed is that the replacement bolt that comes with the kit seems to be 14mm like the factory bolt. I slid the fox bolt into into my TF monster TB and noticed the play since the TB plays nicer with a 9/16 bolt which i have with the NR 4x4 grade 8 bolts. No play with the 9/16 tb bolt. I am trying to figure out a work around; maybe a tb relocation bracket so I can use the 9/16 in my new tb. What did you think about the fit of the new fox bolt?

BTW, what did you do for adjustments firmness?

Oh yeah. The directions do suck, but pretty easy to figure out. Did you use a deep socket or wrench to mount the bolt to the bracket? I want to make sure I am able to get it screwed in tight enough. 125 ft lbs right?

X2

I was told from the seller the instructions were changed to lower the psi ?
Done know if there is truth to this.

He put 15 psi in for me and I have no pull whatsoever.

What psi is common for folks that run this shock?

So the ATS mounts in with the TB bracket? Is the 9/16 bolt too big for the bushing sleeve on the stab?

Ken,

I've seen a similar psi on quite a few threads with schrader valved stabilizers.
Looks great under there! Where did you get it and how do you like it compared to others?

The fox bolt actually has 2 different sizes. The half that mounts thru the tb bracket and tb appears to be 14mm and the half that the ss bushing actually mounts to is slightly smaller.

I see.. Kinda limits your options on finding a 9/16 that would work for both

Thanks,
I bought it used. For some unknown reason my jeep is handling better without the Ss. Dunno ... I have some funky crap going with my steering.
