Default Steering stabilyzer location

The shop that installed my lift mounted my steering stabilizer in a location that makes the bolts from the drag link come in contact with the stabilizer body. How does one relocate the stabilizer to a place where there's no contact?

Don't tread on me.

Swap it around to the passenger side, like stock.

Is that the RC double SS axle mount ?

I agree. It looks like there's a hole for a SS in your track bar bracket ?
Use that instead of the mid axle bracket.

I believe it is. I don't now why they used it for a single SS kinda seems like a waste of money

Default ss location

Loosen the bolts on the drag linkage clamps and flip the clamps and bolt away from the Steering stabilizer. Easy fix no problem.

That looks like a dual stabilizer that is missing one shock?

Ditch the mount on the driver side of the tie rod. Then flip the stabilizer to the opposite side of the center bracket and attach to the track bar bracket ( looks like the available mounting hole in your picture). Don't loosen anything on your drag link as mentioned above.

Now I see why they set it up this way. They used a trac bar bracket, therefore the open hole in the bracket is for a 9/16" bolt, and the stabilizer uses a 3/4" bolt. Great

Don't tread on me.
