Looks good! But that's actually about all they're good for over a single stabilizer. I've pulled mine off and replaced with a single Tera stabilizer,no difference other than all that crap doesn't bang into stuff in my front end now. Live and learn.

Yep, those brackets and bolts hanging down are a design flaw. I caught a rock my first time out and twisted it behind the tie rod. Then, when I turned, the power sterring took over and bent the sway bar link tab. I was able to fix it but would have rather been wheeling.

See how the sway bar tab is right behind it...

Did the rock hit shift the mount that far from the passenger side or did you mount it shorter than the instructions? Sorry it did work for you. I'll have to see how it works for me.

Wow you guy's waisted no time to shoot down this guy's happy balloon. You could have just him learn all on his own given the fact that he has already spent the money on them. But I will say..................the truth hurts.

The mount didn't move left/right at all. I was backing over a rock and it just rotated so the bolts were straight up. ...which caused the stabilizer to twist with it and line up perfectly with the sway bar tab. If there was a way to mount it with the bolts up, it would be fine.

Your sway link bushing looks abit shot there bud. Those brackets for the ends are weak as shit. They bend around the tie rod pretty good when you tighten them down.I had to cut the U- bolts on mine to get them off.The u-bolts had spread out so much.

I am running it also, looks good, decent performance, but not an off road upgrade. It is damn near impossible to install it without it hitting something. Then when you disconnect the swaybar links it hits everything!
