Steering Stabilizer distributor in Canada

Are there any Canadian members that have purchased a steering stabilizer brace from a company in Canada. If so, could you post up the website for me to check it out. I want to buy inside Canada if I can to save shipping times. Typically shipping times from the U.S. take two weeks to my door.

You can also by the DSS direct from the guys quoted above at http://www.solidsteel.ca/Ordering.htm, for some reason they have two websites. They seem to sell them cheaper from factory than anyone locally around here. Also BD Power had their own (or borrowed) version, and they are also a Canadian owned company based in Abbotsford, BC. They ship from the USA side as well and from the web seem to be USA based but they are not. Theirs is more expensive than the DSS one though.

You can use the BD steering brace with the Kore sway bar blocks, not wit the DSS one.

I like his site but they need a price list. If I can price and buy over the internet I am more interested in buying. I hate waiting for stuff out of the US but they post prices.

Give him a call. I bought the Carli Starter system from him, and i thought the price was ok, i figured it was within $100 of getting it out of the US. And to me, saving that $100 isn't worth the hassle, especially if something goes wrong.
Agree on the posting prices part, it would make it much easier to shop around.

Hey bud, thanks for the info you posted on where to get a DSS in Canada. I replaced my steering box with a brand New one from Chrysler ( it was a worn out mess) and also installed the DSS that you recommended. I got it from the distributor in Ontario. My steering is 99.9% better (really). However it is still not "Right ON" I think that if I add the adjustable lower control arms provided buy the same manufacturer, and have an alignment done to the specs that were sent with steering stabilizer everything will be 100%. I have An '03 2500 4x4 4 door.
Literature (or is it propaganda) sent with the stabilizer refers to caster pulling one way and camber pulling the other to create a wandering affect. I currently have one bent lower control arm. I want to replacing the lower control arms and do a "Proper" alignment to the specs recommended by Solid Steel (not a quickie one that you can get for $39.95 anywhere ). Can you, or anyone out there, confirm that I am going in the right direction? I am impressed with the product and the info I got with it. Any input is appreciated and the help that I have gotten so far from this forum is immeasurable. Thanks all.

What year is your truck? (you should fill in your signature)

If you're truck is not steering well you definitely need to replace the bent control arm and get the front end aligned, but don't be surprised if the shop tells you you need ball joints etc.

If tie rods need replacing there's a steering upgrade you should consider, basically you're changing everything from side to side, here's the kit for a good price:
