stock one leaking (blown?) was going to replace w/ rancho- quoted 110-140$ Anyone using Tereflex? 1/2 the cost. Was told the Rancho relocates higher for more clearance. Opinions. Thanks -Joe 2" BB w/ 33's

 

I have used 4 different SS's and truly feel that none of them offer much of an advantage over the next... However, I also think one of the best things you can do to a JK is to relocate the SS. Woods was the very first relocating bracket out, and I believe it is stll the strongest and best design. The other big names just copied his concept. So... support a small company and sponsor of our forum, go to jeepswag.com and buy his bracket. Then go buy the cheapest aftermarket (not OEM replacement- go larger diameter) SS you can buy and put it on. You should be able to buy one for $35 or so.

 

Just ordered the Teraflex stab today! I have WOODS relocation bracket so mine is already out of the way.. Replacing the Rancho stab

 

I went with Skyjacker, and am happy, but you MUST relocate it and the Woods bracket is the way to go. Great product

 

Thanks for the info- will look-into wood's relocation bracket. Joe

 

Good. And if you want to be cheap, just find someone who has replaced their perfectly good, stock SS with an after-market product. You should be able to score one really cheap--perhaps just the cost of shipping. If you decide on an after-market product, not all fit with the Woods kit (larger diameter has insufficient clearance), so check into that before you commit your money.

 

Not to hi-jack but, why are people relocating their SS, with the Woods relocation bracket? Just wondering and I would like to know why....

 

It is a cramped space in there, and aftermarket rods could require you to rotate it or move it so it does not interfere with the tie rod, drag link, and/or track bar... as in Toads case.

I think the main reason is because this part was put in the absolutely worst possible place behind/underneath the tie rod. Anybody who does some significant wheeling in rocks will inevitably hit their tie rod, and front differential. It WILL happen. That SS will get bashed also. As I have said, I went through 4 of them. So, these aftermarket SS relo brackets allow you to roll the SS over and put it on TOP of the tie rod, and out of harms way.

No doubt in my mind that Jeep should have put them there in the first place, or on top of the tie rod on the DRIVER side where you dont have the tie rod, drag link and track bar all converging...

 

Whats the deal with the Rough Country Dual SS? Is it hard to install? Worth the extra money? I mean it looks cool, but beyond that, any added benefits?

 

I think it looks cool too, but didn't really do anything special. My frt is pretty dialed in with no bumpsteer and tracks straight as an arrow. My Superlift stabilizer was all dented to sh@t and that's not including that it came pre-dented from the factory I'm not one to just wait for something to fail first, so I got the duals, it may help when I go to 37's.
