IIRC they are supposed to dampen the shock to the steering box from things like holes, logs and rocks etc. when you are off roading.

 

[Rednek]

cool. you dont happen to know the price? or mechanical brains required do you?

 

[Shadow_D]

They are simple to install and most come with good instructions. You can install them with common tools.

As far as price, I'm not sure but I would think you can get them on eBay for less than $100 each

not sure of price, but i will say mine came unbolted from frame, (and my lazy ass hasn't re mounted it yet) My steering wheel plays **** on my wrists on the trails. well worth the money.

 

[Rednek]

what is the actual construction of them... do ya cut out part of the rod and put them in? i know absolutley nothing about them so if someone has time can ya explain them to me? websites havnt helped me any i need it from a actual person...

all a steering stabilizer does is dappen the shock sent to the steering wheel after the tire unexpectadly hits a obstacle such as a tree root or rock. bigger tires=steering stabilizers. once you go past a 35' tire its usually a good rule of thumb to have dual stabilizers installed. you dont have to cut a section of the rod out to install them. different vehcles have different ways they have to be mounted. usually they are bolted to the frame on the passenger side of the truck and ALWAYS in front of the axle. where or what part the stabilizer connects to on the steering depends and make model year etc. last time i checked dual stabilizers went for about 90.00 and singles went for 70.00 and that was from rough country. my lift kit is that brand so im trying to keep it all the same brand until i do as SAS and start fresh sometime in the future

 

[Rednek]

they for sure look BADASSSSSS am i allowed to say that?

i dont wanna spend over $100 for now until my hay forks sell.. ill check em out

thanks alot black beauty that makes sence

 

[Rednek]

[black beauty]

yo rednek when you get them put on keep us informed on how it went and how you like them.

 

[Rednek]

yeah i planned on taking pics of the set on the ground and my bronco without them... then takin a pic of the bronco with them...

i see you have flowmaster 40's it just caught my eye. and you say they are turndowns.... i thought they came out behine the back of the wheels parralel with the tires???

 

[black beauty]

my flows are right where yours sit probably. close to where the factory muffler was. i just have two flows instead but the turndowns come out of the very back of the muffler and point down at the ground. they are before the rear axle but yes they are parallel to the tires

 

[Rednek]

yeah okay ive seen the pics of them like for sale so i couldnt tell weather they were infront of behind the tires but i could tell that they came out parallel with tires........

thats cool thanks man..

always ready to learn sumthin

 

[black beauty]

ya man i just got them for sound purposes. the sound from the exhaust goes from the turndows and bounces of the ground, then back up to the bottom of the body then disperse. it just makes for gooood sound
