I wasnt bashing no need to be defensive. a steering stabilizer is just a bandaid and it seemed funny to me that someone would produce a 'performance' one.
and I was sharing my experience with getting a kit on the cheap as well.
congrats on the lift man I bet you're excited. hurry up and install it and post some flex pics!

My apologies, just seemed like it. I have all original suspension from 91 so anything is better then what I have now. Lift goes on next weekend and I'll get some serious mall crawling pictures can't get it off road yet with the dry rotted Dunlop Rovers

Front bolts to the leaves broke off the weld inside of the rail. So I guess now I cut it open and go from there... Front end went in without a hiccup though! Will post pictures when I can. As for now ??
