Steering Stabilizer

[92MiniMonster]

So i bought and installed a 3" BL and 4" Suspension from Rough Country. I also bought the steering stabilizer that was an option. Its for my 1992 Ranger. The instructions on the stabilizer are crap, and pretty hard to make out because everything is so dark. It doesnt mention drilling any holes for the bracket on the passenger side, and i dont see any holes that line up, So, has anyone put one of these types on without drilling, or is that something i will need to do. Just figured i would ask before i whip out the old chop cut rebuild skills. Thanks,
Shawn

u will need to drill

my friend has one on his bronco, and it clamps around the frame rail, it has a big plate with two holes in it and two long bolts, but i havent seen the rough country one for a ranger

Yea this one doesnt look like the one you described for the BII. Its a bracket with 3 holes, 2 to mount, and one for the stabilizer, and another matching peice for the through bolt side, but i think mhughes is right, i will have to drill, thanks guys

it more than likely uses the diff as the anchoring point. You have to take out 3 diff bolts and get longer ones to go back in.

no, on the inverted y setup it goes from the passenger side tie rod to the frame, its a wierd setup, i know, but its how it goes

 

[mjonesjr]

not all of them. There are some that mounts to the diff and then goes to the passanger side.

i aint ever seen one of them , all sky jacker and rancho styles ive used goto the pass side frame, can u see if u can find a pic, id be interested to see how that works

 

[92MiniMonster]

yea thats interesting to me too. Although it serves me no good to see, mine is the same as described, frame to tie rod.

are there measurements for this that anyone knows of where to mount this thing. I dont want to max it out on a full turn of the wheels.

i'm not 100% sure on this but i'm pretty sure you just put your wheels straight and pull the stabilizer out half way and mount it like that. I would steer both ways all the way with someone watching just to make sure though.

 

[mhughes165]

what u do, u mount it to the frame, u full turn to the left(drivers side) then attach the steering stabilizer at almost full extension

my stabilizer is pro comp an it mounts to the diff an doesnt seem to be to bad, but my friends super lift one mounts to the passenger frame guess it doesnt really matter

I'm not sure if you have 4wd or 2wd but here's a pic of my 2wd steering stabilizer:

You can't really see it in the picture, but on the left side there it actually clamps around the framerail. No drilling required.
