I've noticed some pull when going thru some puddles with the off road tires. does the stabilizer make a difference over stock puddle runnin?

Yeah, was told that. I cut some small slits in the bottom of a bunch of the folds. I also wrote an email to RC asking that since they have been in this business so long, why their stab shocks to have a boot holder on it. They sell boots for these stabs but the mount on the shock doesn't have that thin metal lip for the boot. Show's it in that picture but mine didn't have it.

I am very happy with my Bilstein SS. I believe a substantial improvement over stock.

Does not pull at all... I had read that as well before I got mine. I couldn't be happier with an $80.00 mod. Does everything I had hoped it would.

thanks for all the great feedback also a great write up on the swag relocate kit

dirtman do you run a ss? I have stock rubi suspension but saving up for a lift to eventually run bigger tires.

also I will let you know what I end up purchasing

Nice! Did you order a relocation kit as well? That $34 bracket will keep you from having to replace it again the first time you bash it on something...

Here's mine.

Another vote for the Bilstein here. I have run Teraflex, Rancho, Rough Country and Bilstein and the Bilstein felt the best out of all of them. No pull here either.
