Re:DSS/Piers steering bracket & Skyjacker dual steering stabilizers

I agree, I have the same set up. I am amazed at the difference. ;D I did mine at 26000 miles along with a Luke's Link on the track bar. Huge improvement. 8)

I installed the DSS bracket from Piers about a month ago and it really helped on my tracking and bump steer. Real easy to install and quality unit. Steers better than new. Tim

Re:DSS/Piers steering bracket & Skyjacker dual steering stabilizers

[quote author=Incanus link=board=7;threadid=15517;start=0#145802 date=1054774291]<br>I've had the Skyjacker dual steering stabilizer on for about a month. I just put the DSS (?) steering bracket from Darin &amp; Piers on day before yesterday. Together, both have made a big difference in handling, especially at highway speeds, loaded and unloaded. Very precise and predictable now, and no surprises on bumps and potholes. Bump steer and unstable tracking are gone. Mountain S-curves are no longer exciting. Life behind the wheel has become boring again. <br>Difference was immediately noticeable with both upgrades, even though the truck has 8700 miles. Thought I'd throw this out there. <br>[/quote]<br><br>Excellent info. Tell me what to expect from just the SJ dusl stabilizer -- I'm going to put on a DSS bracket but you've got me interested in the SJ dual stabilizer now as well. Should I put both on at the same time? No alignment is required for the SJ install, right, and requires common garage tools, correct?<br><br>the dealer just replaced the track bar and all the tie rod ends, but I still have this (probably normal) little wander and about 1&quot; play in the steering wheel. will these two things correct these problems? I have 18,000 on mine.<br><br><br>

Re:DSS/Piers steering bracket & Skyjacker dual steering stabilizers

The axle U-bolts are a shade too small at 3 inches, you'll have to bend them out and then in again, or get new 3 1/8 inch bolts.
<br><br>I spoke with a guy from SJ at the Dallas truck/suv show here last weekend. I asked him if the dual stablizer kit for the '01 2500 would fit my '02 (the website at the time only listed up to an '01). He said that it depended on what axle you have up front. Apparently some of the 2500's have Dana 60's and some have Dana 70M (?). I could be wrong about the second dana number but the M is correct. It stands for &quot;Military&quot;. If you have the Dana with the &quot;M&quot; designation, he stated that the U-bolts will not fit.

By chance does anyone have a part number for this kit that fits the 02's?
