Midnight - thanks, i'd appreciate you taking a peak. I held the bracket up to the frame and just didn't see how it was going to fit. Perhaps I have the wrong bracket (it's the same as in the picture). My frame is open like yours, however I didn't see a way that it would look like it was supposed to be there.

and you old timers, too bad! These are the new days!!! LOL Sure, I don't have the life, or driving experience you all have, but i've used the stablizers on all my jeeps without issue and do love the difference it makes. I'm not hounding my dually down washed out roads at 60mph, i'm simply trying to have better control when going down a lot of the roads around here. Even doing the posted 10-15mph, it still ain't pretty!



I was going to look today, but it was coming a monsoon and did so the entire daylight hours; according to the fore-cast, tomorrow looks to be even worse :(

If you have a dually, it should have mounts for a stock one already, and its not a bad unit
Not true - OBS trucks will have the holes in the frame but not the mounting bracket itself, and brick and slants won't even have the holes. IMHO the best setup is what the factory used on the OBS trucks, just drill 2 holes and it will all bolt up. It's a single damper tho, not dual - but w/ little ingenuity and minor fab work two dampers can easily be mounted in parallel using the factory mounts for the single unit. Also, I utterly despise those stud-end dampers when used on anything other than a SFA, especially the 2wd steering linkage has quite a bit of vertical swing and those stud end dampers most kits come w/ don't tolerate that motion too much...
