My friend sent me an e-mail with this link on these products and I was wondering what anybody thinks about it.

Thanks Merrick; I think I am going to get one. I know I need new steering stabilizers for one; for two they went out in less than 40000 miles which I think is kind of quick.

Does the DSS work with the Thuren and carli's kits? That is the most important ? for me.

This one is my favorite. Has the cleanest design of all I've seen. And it's cheaper than some.

Defiant Steering Box Sector Shaft Support

Agreed, The boxed part on the DSS doesn't actually brace the bottom of the sector shaft, it just strengthens the tie in between the ends of the frame rails. And I think the Defiant brace will work just fine to do that. The defiant is a bit cheaper but still covers both functions just fine. It's on my list.

don't mean to get off topic, but i have to say you've really done up the suspension on your truck right, pauli. i'm sure the only thing that's better than the way it looks, is the way it rides- you and your truck may be having a bad effect on my credit card balance!

Will this one work if I have a dual stabilizer kit on? Also, does anyone have a pic of the Defiant installed.

This is all too true. Paul Fox is a great guy. He treated me like I spent 10000 dollars with him, and all I bought was the Sector Shaft Support...

The Defiant support is a great product. Very clean installed and worked great with the drop blocks.

Don't forget the PSC Steering Brace, since it is only $129!
