fronts bolted on, rears didnt bolt on.
front steering stabilizer really isnt made to work with a skyjacker track bar relocation bracket, because the holes it uses are already used...
Road tested machine on new lift and rubber, good to go!

What did you do for the rears? Need some feedback to improve the design.

i made bar pins out of 3/4" bolts for the uppers- 3/4" is stupid big for shock eyes. it would be nice if they came with bar pins.
for the lowers i drilled out the brackets to 3/4" holes, which was probably on the 1:1 factor of safety level.

3/4 holes should come with bushings to a normal common hole size. Even better would be a bushing assortment to common stock bolt sizes like 1/2 and 9/16 and the close metrics for the intended application.

how could a bushing not work?
oh, right, they flare out, and the bushing squishes around them, don't they?
I guess different bushings would have to be the answer then

actually now that you say that i probably could have taken a peice of poly tubing to slide over the bar pin. that would be a cheap "soft" bushing that would work around the bar pin flare. i really wasnt happy with what i did, and it wasted and hour of my time.

Picked up with a grinning customer!
Ryan, whats the deal with charging that steering stabilizer. jeep drives like a dream to 80mph, but when you hit a pot hole at like 40 there is just a little bit of shimmy for like 1-2 seconds. i would have never noticed it because i drive shit trucks, but Anthony noticed it and showed me on one of our test drives... not sure what could help that, maybe more toe? more dampening on the steering stab?

You can try upping the pressure to see if it helps.
Finding what the problem is would help more.
I would guess trac bar or bushing on a control arm.

Nitrogen pressure in the Profender stabilizer fixed it and all is well now! I went over last night for a house call and some test and tune!
