dude i kid you not this thing is awesome. so much easier to handle. plus it looks sweet lol easy to install too man. installs on the idler arm with one bracket and then another bracket goes on the center link just before the pitman arm. its simple, takes like 20 minutes to install.

So that stabilizer fits good? It doesn't rub any of those lines when you cycle the steering back and forth does it, cause man it's close to them?

I'm a fan of the rough country stabilizer for these 4x4s...

It mounts differently, around the rear of the front lower control arm bolt with two bolts

I've also ran the skyjacker dual stabilizer which mounts in the same location but uses a longer lower control arm bolt and bolts solid with that...

Both have no clearance issues and operate more parallel with the steering centerlink which allows them to work 100% with the steering, more of an angle from the line of travel means less dampening from the stabilizer...

I don't think they're anzos I got them off ebay and it said they're just black Lightnight heads.. but yea man I do I took it out the other day and let it sit in the sun to dry it up but once I washed my truck yesterday the condensation came back. I'm thinkin I'll just go get some liquid sealer from autozone and seal around it. Its gettin annoyin haha

Just sitting in the basement man haha. Getting the truck undercoated on tuesday, "want it to look good underneath for the shocks." Then putting everything on next weekend. I work 11 to 7 all week so really no time to do it.
