I would like to match my 5100's if possible...Is there a certain part# that i need.....Has anyone used one on a OBS...??

I really dont need it at all with this setup....75mph with one finger on the wheel...Drives great with these 37's....I just figure if i go with a 14.50-15.50 tire in the future it might be needed...

Yea i saw that the other day.....Says .....designed as an upgrade for your existing Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit such as the Rize Industries kit.

Guess that kit would be for a SD 99-03 i assume???

I'm sure i could make that fit....Lemme find some info...

That indeed helps. I would like the Bilsteins though.

I just wanted to make sure I get the bracket setup where one dampener is on each side... ive seen skyjacker or some kit have both dampeners mounted on one side.

I doubt tuff country site will substitute bilstein for theirs lol

Cool! I guess ill call them tomorrow.
I found the replacement cylinders in bilstein, but they dont have a bracket and full kit on their site for the OBS.
Nobody does. lol i figured one of the kits for the 99-04 had to fit ours, but i wasnt sure. And i hate ordering something, waiting, then returning it. lol
I need this with the brackets is what ill tell em! lol

No dont buy the 99 and up kit it wont work. the brackets hits the tie rods and the tube 99 and up axle tube is bigger than OBS dana 60

The brackets that were pictures a couple posts back would be ridiculously easy to fabricate yourself. Just cut a piece of 1/4 (even that's likely over doing it) into the brackets/tabs pictures and drill some holes to accept a 3 inch ubolts and whatever size the tie rod bar is ubolt. I would be making this and just buyin the bilsteins.

Looks like thats the route Im gunna have to go.
I called TGC and he said that they had nothing that would work with one stabilizer on each side. Only two mounted to one side.

I like the look and the way the dual go across the axle. I think it'd dampen better, but thats just me thinking I have nothing to back that up.

Ill have to look into this a bit more. Was hoping it'd be an easy purchase n bolt on since like i said I have shocks coming.

My truck already had that bracket on it when I got it. I would measure it but I am in the gulf of mexico and my truck is in Tenn so really cant get to it.
