Default skyjacker steering stabilizer...need help!

ok, i installed a skyjacker steering stabilizer yesterday. no instructions were included, so i just removed the old one and put the new one in. i installed it so that the body of the stabilizer was towards the driver side. after driving around today, i inspected it and found that the bracket that the rod other end(end with the boot on it) is rubbing the body of the stabilizer alot. what did i miss? was i supposed to move the factory bracket or something?

Did yours come with a relocation bracket for the end that mounts to the axle?? I have the same setup with no problems. You are supposed to remove the old bracket from the tie rod and just use the giant gold one that came with your kit.

If ya still need some help, I can take a closer look at mine in a few

I have the superlift and it also uses the relocation bracket.
