FOX ATS Steering Stabilizer Install Question
Do I need to raise my JK off the ground to install this? It doesn't look like anything is load bearing that would get unbolted for the install.. Just curious as I'd rather slap it on myself, but don't have a jack or jack stands here at the house. The install looks pretty straightforward.
Thanks in advance!

The hardest part of the install was getting the old SS bracket off of the tie rod. After trying to pry it off without success, I ended up cutting it off.

the biggest issue i had was i didn't have a socket that was deep enough for the two-sided bolt. I found a craftsman socket that worked, but it required a trip to sears.

Got mine all in, it looks good and drives great. I would say, just like others, that there is a very noticeable difference when driving. I went over speed bumps, pot holes, and expansion joints and with the Fox ATS and my new ball joints it feels as solid and secure as driving a Mercedes.
One thing though...
I backed off the adjustment screw, then went to tighten it when it got it all in stalled and I turned it a bunch clockwise and it never stopped turning. Is this normal? I figured here would be a point where it stops turning once its gets to the tightest adjustment....
