Default Need Superlift Stabilizer Instructions

Looking for installation instructions for a Superlift JK steering stabilizer 92075. They were not on the SL website.
Thanks.

Umm.....Unscrew old one and put new one in exact same place?

I have not done this "mod" yet, though it should be as simple as that...

Requires drilling to install. Kit has new beefier brackets at both ends.

I'll see if I can find my instructions. It's pretty easy though. The pics probably make it go a little faster.


In the mean time, call Superlift or the vendor you ordered from. Maybe they can e-mail or fax them to you.

I certainly hope it's not that simple.

I don't have the instructions, but I know how to install the Woods Steering Stabilizer relocation kit, so I'll try to help. I'll add notes about the Superlift kit, in red.

- On level Ground

- With the engine running turn the wheels all the way to the right, then turn the engine off.

- Unbolt the passenger side of the factory steering stabilizer

- Mark the location of the factory tie rod bracket, on the tie rod

- Loosen the tie rod bracket U-bolts, other steering stabilizer nut and remove factory steering stabilizer My kit utilizes the factory bracket. Teh SL kit looks to use it's own bracket. The Factory bracket has a lower profile, and will fit between the track bar and tie rod more easily. This will make more sense when you read the last part of these instructions below

- Rotate the factory tie rod bracket so the stud is facing up The SL kit will move the steering stabilizer above the tie rod

- Remove the passenger side trackbar bolt Does not apply to the SL kit. I believe that the SL kit uses a stud to mount into the hole as described in the steps below.

- Install the new steering stabilizer on both mounting studs

- Holding the steering stabilizer relocation bracket in place, re-install the track bar bolt, and snug up the bolt to the nut Does not apply to SL kit

- Align the open relocation bracket hole with the stamped hole in the factory track bar support bracket Enlarge this hold for the SL steering stabilizer stud. I would guess that it needs to be enlarged similar to the next step

- With a .5" drill and using the relocation bracket as a guide, enlarge the hole in the factory track bar bracket
Skip the next three steps

- Install the 1/2" by 1" Grade 8 bolt, with the washer against the relocation bracket, and the lock washer on the inside of the track bar bracket

- Torque the 1/2" bolt to 75 ft. lbs.

- Torque the track bar bolt to 125 ft. lbs.

- Install both steering stabilizer nuts

- Verify that there is about 1/4" of the steering stabilizer rod is exposed (the rod is the shiny polished part that goes in and out of the steering stabilizer)

- Start the engine and turn the wheel all the way left, then turn off the engine

- Loosen the tie rod bracket U-Bolts and adjust the bracket rotation so the steering stabilizer is centered between the track bar and tie rod.
As an added measure, you may want to flex your rig to verify the steering stabilizer/tie rod bracket rotation. With the sway bar disconnected, use a jack to compress the driver's side front wheel. As you do this, the drivers side of the steering stabilizer will rise between the track bar and tie rod. If it touches either, then you may need to adjust the steering stabilizer/tie rod bracket rotation. Depending on the design of the track bar that you have, the steering stabilizer will not rub.

I hope this is right. I made my judgments about the SL kit, base on a very small picture.

If you have any rubbing problems at full flex, then PM me.
