By looking at this picture..

Can you tell if ill need to buy a mounting kit when I buy my steering stabilizer?

Are the steering stabalizer mounts shown in the picture stock?

And what is a "Replacement Cylinder Kit"? I am given this option to choose from on summits website.

This is not a stock stabilizer but you can put a stock one there, this is just an aftermarket rep[lacement for stock.
You don't need a mounting kit or anything and the replacement cylinder kit will not work for you, it's for a rebuildable shock wich this one is not.

Thanks, well since I went with Rancho shocks I want to go with a Rancho steering stabilizer. Reading your repy above leads me to two different options on the summit racings website, but I dont know what one to choose or what the differences are?



RAN-RS5408

RAN-RS5402

Can you help me choose?

(If this helps)

I am going to run 33's for now but may go 35's later on.

Well the RS5408 is a single shock style replacement for stock stabilizers, but needs the mounting kit to work.
The 5402 is for dual shock applications, I wouldn't put that.

So then I need to get the RS5408 and get the mounting kit with it?

Unless they carry the one that doesn't need the mounting kit.
I remember buying one, but can't remember the number.
It was a 5404, it will not need the mounting kit

Alright, I will pick up the RAN-RS5404 tomorrow. Thanks for walking me through.

If you don't want to get a mounting kit you'll need to get one like the Skyjacker SJA-7000

I'm not endorsing it. I'm just using the picture to show what one that fits the stock mounts looks like. Rings and not threaded posts.
