I was checking into a dual steering stabilizer kit today and havent found what I'm looking for. I want the stacked dual stabilizers not the inline, but I havent found a kit anywhere to buy it. So does anyone know where you could grab a kit? Also anyone here who has stacked stabilizers could they please post pics.

Here's a couple pics so maybe you fellers get an idea of how it mounts. It uses what looks like muffler clamps to clamp a bracket around the axle tube, the smaller clamps to clamp a bracket to the drag link. I'm 99% certain this is a Rancho system pictured here. It's what's installed on the 10 bolt Air Locker axle I got out of that Burb.

So that part that goes on the tie rod tube will stay tight, it doesnt seem like it would

It's clamped to the drag link. I see no signs at all of it slidding on the drag link, and I'll assure you, this kid that owned this Burb put it to the test.

Keep in mind that if your out in the boonies/rocks or stump jumping the bottom shock wont have a long life... And if ya hit something hard enough it will twist the bracket in to the diff and then steering will be limited..

so carry a few wrenches around with ya to straighten um out if need be....

i took the dual COOL looking shocks off my truck and run the single 4404 rancho,, but it has been discontinued,, so now ya have to settle for the rs5404........

And no im not a rancho fan in particular,, i like stuff that plan works,, so rancho got my vote......

Steering stabilizers are band aids for loose steering setups. And the one pictured isn't anywhere near the drag link....

No, it could be described as the 5 foot long tie rod. MOST know it more as a drag link when technically it's not at all. I've even heard it called a relay bar and didn't even know WTH they were talking about.
