Default Installing RC Steering Stabalizer

Ok so I have just installed the 6" RC LA lift on my cherokee and am about to install the RC performance steering stabalizer but can't figure out which one of these parts I need to use. The old stabalizer has the tapered screw already mounted in the extended end of it while the new one has a sleeve in that end not allowing for the new, supplied tapered end to be installed. Do I just install it with the stock nut and bolt or try and remove the sleeve and use the tapered ones? Also do I flip the stabalized around because the other supplied nut and bolt fit more snugly in the other end? Super confused, need help.

I'll have pictures up later today.

So, what ended up being the solution? I have the RC stabilizer with no instructions. There's a tapered sleeve and a regular sleeve. i think the regular sleeve goes in the bushing and the tapered sleeve goes in the drag link. I've read not to put a sleeve in the bushing, but I've also read that it needs one. I'm not sure which way to go. Thanks for any assistance.
