Steering Stabilizer relocation options
Whats the cheapest and most effective way of doing so? Seems after banging mine up this weekend, its time to relocate it up a bit higher, to save me from buying shock all the time.
I understand these things are just dampers and some do not even run them. So thats why I was going to just buy another OEM one, but started looking a little more into these relocation brackets. I know there are a couple options, but I don't really want to spend a ton of money if theres something else that is just as effective. The reason why I don't want to spend a ton of money on this, is due to me upgrading to dana 60s in the future.
The cheapest I found was the Rough Country relocation bracket and shock for $59.

I went with the Dominion, just the bracket...reused my original SS. No regrets, as Mark said it's top notch and as a bonus adds a little beef to the tracbar bracket.

I just bought the rough country relocation bracket, not the stabilizer. I think it was $30, then you can upgrade your stabilizer if you want of just keep buying stock ones. But it puts the ss up higher and protects it, which is what I was going for.

It rather looks like you've answered your own question. That is, if by "most effective" you mean one that does the job that in a properly set up rig really doesn't need doing at all, LOL. Regardless, Brett (Dominion Off-road) will never be the cheapest option. He uses only the best quality materials for every single one of his products. His relocation kit (not including the SS itself) is all stainless steel. Cheap it ain't. Very high quality it is. Also, he's the guy who invented the thing in the first place--everyone else just copied. And he's an original forum sponsor. Used to hang around here a lot getting ideas for new products, but I think business keeps him pretty busy. Super customer service, too.
Of course, function is a priority in all of this, which is what I kind of meant by effective, sorry. The synergy is nice, but im spending almost a $100 without a shock.

Yeah I hear you with the stainless steel and using good products. I wish I could say my suspension is all dialed in, but theres some adjusting that still needs to be done, and I think my ball joints are shot after this weekend too. The only issue I see with this kit, is that I still need to buy something that connects the SS to the tie rod, can't tell in the parts description. ....

When I still had the stock tie rod, I just used the bracket that came with the tie for from the factory. The relocation is on the axle side, usually. That is, later on I did relocate the other end of mine to the drag link--so it now runs between the axle and drag link--and I did that with the bracket that comes with the Currie CurrectLink rod kit. Shouldn't be an issue for you unless you're not running OEM tie rod.

That is why I went with the RC. It is just the single simple bracket and then you rotate the stock clamp. As for your question earlier, I haven't installed it yet. Waiting on my RK coils to come in and do it all at once. But I will take pics of everything before and after and let everyone know.
