I don't have the BD steering box stabalizer, I have Defiant Trucks product. It is an easy to install, takes about 1/2 hour, an extra pair of hands makes it go faster, but can be done by yourself. Just 4 bolts. It does tighten up the flexing steering box, wander will be gone, good investment.

I have a PSC brace, and it takes maybe 1 hour.

Yes, another person or a set of jack stands and a jack will also help.

I bought my PSC box for $148 delivered on Ebay.....

This or the new steering set up will be my next inprovement.
Did you folks have to put spacers on the sway bar?? I have a 2" lift and was waiting to add this because I figured it would need a spacer.

I have a BDS unit. Put it on for looks mainly. It works ok but I do not notice a major difference.

You have stock tires?
I though they were sposed to be a big improvement for people running bigger tires (but could be wrong)

I have Nitto Durra Grapplers 285/70/17 tires. I had the DW once before the BDS unit but have not had it since. Not sure if the BDS unit corrected it but it could not be any worse than the stock unit. I only paid 80 bucks for it off Ebay new.

For looks? What's to see?

I have the BD unit. I was running 35" tires and had noticed some wander as well as pretty significant bump steering on gravel resource roads. The stabilizer eliminated both these problems.

Nice white shock and red boot. Matches my rough country shocks. Not much to see but it looked better than the black stock shock with no boot.

Um I think you are talking about a seperate thing from everyone else. Sounds like you are talking about steering stabilzers, which granted is what the title of the thread is about. But everyone else is talking about steering box supports, which is the only thing BD Performance makes steering wise.
