Default Steering Stabilizer Install

I'm getting ready to install my new Bilstein Steering stabilizer I picked up from Q-Tech at their tent sale last weekend.... It looks easy but Murphy's Law always seems to catch up to me

Got any tips?

They don't seem to be a problem as long as you don't bash them on a rock!

They are nice quality. I had to relocate my SS because I have smashed 3 in the last year.....Dominion Off Road (jeepswag...site sponsor) makes a nice relocation bracket that I just ordered to mount it above the current axle mounting location. Its like 50 bucks...

I will post up when I install it and hope it works.

If you ever smash your SS when you are out and about...one from a TJ will work fine. The mount the same, are the same collapsed length, and are just a litttle longer when extended. Dont ask how i know

The JK ones are hard to find !
