My stock SS is trashed and has been for months. Can't really say my Jeep rides any differently though. Would like to get a relo bracket and a new SS. I will not be paying top dollar though given my experience that not having one doesn't seem to make much difference. Any ideas from you guys on a good relo bracket/kit??

I have been thinking about making my own from some 1/8" steel. Jeepswag has a kit that looks to be pretty nice.

I've seen the JeepSwag kit and I have almost pulled the trigger, but I haven't yet. Anyone with experience with the Jeepswag relo kit?

I got my relocation bracket from rebel offroad. Had to drill out one hole to 1/2 inch and it bolted right up. $29 and a few dollars shipping and handling.

I have it, haven't 'tested' it yet but it's stainless steel and 1/4" thick. Had to drill one 1/2" hole out and you flip the stabilizer end for end in some cases. Looks much cleaner underneath now. Install was cake.
I bundled with the evap relo kit for $79 shipped. very good value for the quality components he uses (mostly stainless steel which, as a boat owner, I love).
I recommend it.

I just replaced mine with the OME SS and their relocation bracket and have been very happy with it. It didn't hurt the pocket book either.

I've read the threads that have stated you don't need the daul steering stabilizer setup. I'm here to tell you with a 100 lbs or better of unsprung weight on each corner a dual ss helps. Along with some Bilstein 5160's I could tell a world of difference.. Just saying

I went with the one from Brett Woods. Stainless and heavy duty!

Yeah I can tell a huge difference for sure with my dual Bilstein's. Most that say they don't work or are useless, have no first hand experience running this type of set up more often than not. Oh well. Is that Skyjacker's mount you're using for the Bilsteins? I use RC's and only complaint is the mount plates the u-bolts hold bend pretty damn easy.Click image for larger version
