I thought that Fabtech had a dual kit that bolts in.

Bilstein has one in the works, it may be out already........................I talked with the rep at the PRI show. It should be a drop in replacement.

Here's Rancho information from another thread here.

I talked to Rancho today and they said # 5407 requires a bracket kit or to use the stock location you need part # rs5411. So if you have one installed in the stock location, CHECK part # or make sure you have the bracket also.

the fabtech works just fine ... bolts right up, no extra hardware/bracket required.

How do you know if the stabilizer is bad?

Do a search of the forums about the Rancho stabilizer failures that have caused some damage.

You have a short cut (as in a hyperlink)for me to "purchase" one? I'd be appreciative! :)
When you get the chance,TIA

Yes, it's an OEM replacement.

I swapped mine at 5K miles. Why? Jump up/down on your factory shocks ...if the stabilizer is anything like the shocks they are JUNK IMO. I could tell a difference after swapping. May not with OEM tires.
