The steering makes a difference, a much more positive feel, but you also need to change out your track bar to get the maximum benefit.

Do you have a bigger pic? I'd like to see how the stabilizer is mounted to the tie-rod. Is it clamped on or are there tabs welded on?

Do you have any Pics. of your set up. I have been looking at them but don't know which one to get. I'm a little nervous on the bent one (vs the straight one) which I think we need. I'm worried about the Tie rod up an down movement.

Don will let you know what you need, though I'm fairly sure 3rd Gen trucks will need the bent arm kit. Give him a call. He is great to talk to, and will let you know everything you need.

I figured that was the route I was going to go. I'm trying to picture what else you used with the clamp to mount the shock. Has it moved with two bolts versus 4 or 6 like the Kore setup?

I am using two of those clamps per shock mounting plate. Also keep in mind each one of the bolts I used has a clamp load of 7900 lbs. As of now nothing has move.
