2nd. gen. steering stabilizer: do i need new brackets?
i'm putting on a procomp steering stabilizer when i install the new shocks and coils and the guy at 4wheel parts says i've gotta get new brackets for it($36, more than the stabilizer itself). my understanding was that the procomp would fit with the brackets from the little stock stabilizer. so which is it?

If you've got the right stabilizer, you don't need any brackets. It should fit in the OEM location. Mine did.
Why am I not suprised you got this info from 4Wheel Parts?

yah i know, he also told me i needed a $70 conversion kit to install manual hubs...i tried explaining that with the ADD setup it was a straight conversion but he was just sure that i needed the conversion kit. oh well, i got a good deal on shocks and a free stabilizer with them. thanks for the clarification agrunner.

i recently had a skyjacker steering stabilizer installed and, to my surprise, it needed brackets to mount. i thought it would pop in where the original mounted.
is this a bad thing? they didn't remove the original, either. makes me wonder.
if anyone has any experience/expertise/opinions i'd love to hear 'em.
thanks!

these pics show how it mounts now. on the "driveside.jpg" one, you can see the oem stabilizer mounting bolt just above...
sorry for the bad pics; took them with my phone.

most all the stabilizers you buy bolt right on for the 2nd Gen runners. I have a 95 and im tryint to bolt it on right now but the driverside is a pain in the ass. I cant git this bitch off any suggestions?
