It is 2wd and i dont think there is any differences in the install on 4wd. There is a bracket that is bolted to your radius arm and one to your relay rod. the shock is then bolted to the brackets. make sure you measure correctly so your shock is not pulled out too far at full steer. easy install though. My only regret is that i didnt get the dual shock kit. oh well.

btw Lenn, its the tire size that gives you the steering problem. So if you have bigger than stock tires, it will help. Steering stabilizers reduce steering shimmy, improve tire control, and give you more control over your vehicle if a tire should blow out. The single stabilizers are used with tires up to 35 in. tall. Dual stabilizers are for tires 35 in. and taller, but I stuck with the single.

Currently I am running the stock size tires but using a Cooper Discoverer ST.

I didnt even know they made a dual kit for our trucks. Could you give me a link to it?

I have 35's so im not sure which to get. Im thinking probably just the single

IMO over the years when you get up to 37's and bigger you will need the stabilizer's....a truck will hold up to 35's just fine.

Alright thats good to know. Im not sure if ill get one yet. Ive been driving for like 9 months without one and havent had problems. But i havent felt if theres a difference with a stabilizer, and i wouldnt mind making my steering stuff last as long as possible

Thought I was on one of my motorcycle forums for a minute there

When I was younger I did a lot of lifting etc on trucks. And we lifted all sorts of truck with and without dampers. Few things I've picked up on dampers:

• use the minimum damping you can for your application - it can be overdone
• check carefully what will happen to your ground clearance - some dual dampers run side by side and may reduce your clearance. And breaking one on the trail can be worse than not having one.
• check your steering gear mounting points from time to time - the added resistance as well as increase tire size may loosen things.

Oh yeah... thumbs up out of the steering wheel when off road

well when i had 35s i didnt need one, now with the 37s i seemed to suddenly need them especially on the highway.

I just got 33x12.5 on 20" wheels for my 2010 with no lift kit and it'sbeen good for a week but today I ran over a small pot hole with loose gravel around it and I noticed my steering shook a bit. I didn't like it. So I'm thinking about doing a 2" lift but definitely going with a new heavy duty stabilizer and new alignment.
