aRe there any relo kits to stay away from or do they all do pretty much the same thing? I noticed that my steering stablizer got twisted this weekend so the braket is actually twisted all the way around the tie rod. Just coincidence that I'm in the market for a relo bracket and stablizer upgrade?

Is that compatible with the RockKrawler HD tie rod (larger in diameter) or can I re-use the larger ubolts supplied with the tie rod for use with the original stabilizer?

and where is the cheapest place to get the bilstien stablizer and relo kit mentioned?

I'm not sure about the rock krawler tie rod and I wouldn't wanna tell you the wrong answer since I don't know, but I'm sure you could just use larger u-bolts I ordered my bilstein stabilizer from Gus at offroad warehouse and the stabilizer from Brett at Jeep SWAG/Dominion Offroad (jeepswag.com)

ouch! over 200 for just the stablizer! I found the teraflex for around 60. Can I get the bilstein for close to that? Bracket looks to run around 30 bucks but I havent found any place that has both as a kit. It would be nice to stay under 100. It looks like the swag kit re-used the same end that's on my tie rod right now which re-uses the provided larger u-bolts.

If I remember correctly Gus was able to get me the bilstein stabilizer for around 80 dollars and the Jeep SWAG relo kit is 35 with free shipping

Jeep SWAG sells their relocation bracket and their own stabilizer for $100
