I've searched but couldn't find what I needed. We're still trying to work out the kinks in our steering after installing the 6" Fabtech lift and HD steering kit. The lift has softened up a bit which I expected, but I'm still having scary steering at freeway speeds. PhilD mentioned getting dual steering stabilizers and I want to try this next, but we're told that they won't work if you have the HD steering kit also. Can anyone let me know if they have the kit and dual stabs so I know if we can go forward from here? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Thanks Phil. You always have a wealth of information to share and I very much appreciate it! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif We're going to keep trying to see if there is a way to get something on there also. Let me know if you find out anything.

Just FYI, we took off some components of the HD steering kit yesterday (the Pitman and Idler arms) to try and figure out my steering problem by process of elimination. Problem completely went away. Now it just feels like a lifted truck and handles almost they way it did before the lift. We left on the dual shocks, HD tie rods and steering stabs. Very happy!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I can get on the freeway again without getting cramps in my arms and heart palpitations!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
