Why did you order stabilizers? Were you getting shaking in the steering?

 

[95F350XL]

With the 36's I did, and I just like the look. I think any big truck should have them lol. Plus I dont even have a factory one.

Well I got the kit today. Bad news. I dont think its going to work. My damn plow junk is in the way. I might be able to make it work. At 9:30 pm I dont feel like messing with it anymore. Here are some pics.

Here is the complete kit.

Here is the bracket that goes onto the frame. As you can see the plow stuff is in the way.

Here is the bracket on the tie rod bar.

Here is 1 stablizer mounted onto the plow frame.

Here is the 2 stablizers on the brackets just sittin in the wrong spot.

Here is a close up on how it the plow stuff is in the way.
The U bolt is supposed to go around the frame but it cant, and im using it to hold the bar up just incase yall are wondering.

If I space it out with like square tube, so it wont hit I think ill be good. The only other prob is the stablizers have to be out 4.44" which is 1/2 out. Says skyjacker. If I space it out, then i have to put the tie rod bracket on the adjuster sleeve so its right. I got to fig something out. Let me know what yall think.

Damn dude that sucks... I'm sure you can cut and weld a few things to make it work, you're a smart dude

 

[95F350XL]

Lol, yea ill get it to work 1 way or another, if no up for sale for what I paid. 121 plus 9 to ship lol. Its also hard working on stuff when all your tools are at work, and your tools at home a super crappy lol.

hmmmm maybe i should put em on my truck????lol

 

[95F350XL]

Well I think that I got it worked out. I found some old 2x2 square stock in my barn. I cut a peice 6" long to fit agenst the frame. Then the skyjacker part will bolt 2 that. Ill have to weld the square stock to the frame then either weld or bolt the skyjacker bracket to that, or I can bolt it all together. Let me know.

 

[95F350XL]

I got it. Welded a bracket onto the frame, bolted skyjacket peice onto that. Then put it together. So for anyone that has a plow or a stock height F350 and you want to put this kit on here are some pics, or for yall that want to see lol. I got to say that the steering is stiffer and on the bumps the wheel dont like jump or pull my hand. Its nice.

FOR GLORY

Too Bad Its Dark Out.

Chris, I always love reading about or seeing pictures of the projects you have going on, and this one is no exception. It looks great!

Thanks, I do what I can, plus I love to make stuff work that aint supposed to. That dual kit is for like a 4+ lifted truck, and the plow junk in the way. Oh well.
