Default OME Steering Stabilizer compatible with Synergy Stabilizer Relocation kit?

I'm looking at the Synergy Stabilizer Relocation bracket (PPM-8007) and Tie Rod Clamp (PPM-8003).

The description on the bracket says it's designed for a Fox or Synergy shock, but I'm just trying to find out if I can use it with an OME steering stabilizer.

Thanks!

The OME SS has a dust boot design flaw, STILL. Bought mine back in April and ARB finally sent to production the new "design," as of late last week, according to Mark Bower. I'd wait for awhile before purchasing an OME.

Thanks for the heads up! I was leaning toward a Fox but I keep reading about the gas charged shocks pulling to the left. That would drive me nuts.

Any suggestions for a decent SS?

I have a bilstein ss on mine with 34's and don't notice any pulling to the left.

Im reluctant to do so, but I'd still recommend thee OME with their relocation bracket. They are going to send me a new one, but I'll probably sell it, or before they ship it, get a credit from 4WD HARDWARE . Our "jimmy-rig" boot is staying on just fine.

My fox stabilizer does not pull at all.

I just installed the Synergy kit with the OEM stabilizer on our JKUR. The OEM bushings in the stabilizer are slightly smaller than the SAE 1/2" bolts used in the stabilizer kit. I had to press out the OEM bushings and then press in 1/2" bushings I picked up at Offroad Warehouse. The bushings were only 5 bucks and a hell of a lot cheaper than a Fox or Synergy stabilizer.

I'd try to keep my OEM SS, but I beat the crap out of it on the trail. That's the only real reason I want a new one and I figure I might as well upgrade while I'm at it. I've had no issues with the OEM SS at all with 315/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs.
