I'v been running a Rancho single for about 1year and seems ok.

Every time this thing ends up going off road I bend it so bad you can't turn the wheel. This has happend 3times with only a little grader-ridge of snow.

The last time I was hunting and drove 3 weeks without one and had to pull it off on the spot.

Does anybody make some kind pf skid-plate for it?

Of the many brands available the only one I've heard bad reports on is the OEM Dodge. When replacing the stabilizer or getting an alignment a common mistake made by both professionals and backyards alike is failure to check the position of the adjustment coupler on the tie rod. It may look like there is plenty of room with the wheels pointed straight ahead but in a sharp turn if the larger side of the coupler is facing the stabilizer it can puncture or bend the stabilizer especially if the replacement is a larger diameter than the OEM. Look out! A pitman arm puller is almost aways required to remove one end of the old stabilizer.

Darren,



I'm going to try the new Skyjacker inline stem-to-stem dual stabilizer. With your big tires, this will help absorb the added shock in the steering system. I have run a dual "stacked" stabilizer. Don't bother. I have found when the shocks are mounted close to the wheels, this is by far the best way to go.

Hey Bill

That is a sweet setup, what's it run($$$$$$)? And when are you going to install so I can get a report on it?
