I was just thinking about getting this kit today.

My Skyjacker stabilizer just isn't cutting it. If I hit a shallow puddle of water with only one side of the Jeep I have to fight the steering wheel to stay on the road. It's so bad that I have to pre-emptivly grip the wheel when I see a puddle coming up.

Sounds well worth the money. My steering wheel feels like it's floating on jello right now.


One question: do these heavy duty stabilizers put any sort of negative strain on the power steering components?

I can't tell but on the passenger side does everything clear the bracket and the bolts. Looks like there could be some contact?

it looks like you have a RC lift as well. Is it a 2.5"? I just installed one and new tires and wheels as well. It doesn't steer bad, but its definitely different from stock. What you have done is a pretty inexpensive fix if it works.

Anyone done hard wheeling with theirs yet? I'm all for a little reduction in the bump-steer, but I want to make sure nothing gets tweaked at full flex or anything like that...

(not that I'm really all that hardcore with a 2" lift and SRA's, but the day will come... )
