Unless that fluid is from the road... I would say yes. :-)

Thanks for the quick response. Thanks Buribngus for the offer but I'm going to go with a Bilstein I think. No sense in prolonging the inevitable, right?

Forewarning... The bilstein is good (i have it) BUT, its gas charged and will result in a push to the left (drivers side) because it is a bit over charged with pressure. This is known issue with bilsteins. If you are running 35's (or larger) the push wont be as much due to the weight of the tire.

The fox 2 is preferred over the bilstein - its a little more rugged and i believe the pressure is adjustable.

I am running 35's but will definitely check out the fox. Thanks for the heads up.

If you want a relocation bracket let me know. I'll send you the bracket I took off. Good luck with the new stabilizer!
