DSS Steering Stabilizer w/Kore

I was wondering if I can install the DSS on my 2001.5 2500 with the Kore Chase Suspension, also known as the "Darin's Steering Stabilizer" which is designed to eliminate steering wander in the Dodge Ram pickups.

There was a footnote that stated:

Compatible with most lift kits. There are some exceptions, however. If your lift kit has drop brackets for the anti-sway bar AND there is a tube between these brackets, then there will be interference.

On mine I do have the 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Drop Blocks on the sway bar but no tube between them. Has anyone installed this with any of the Kore Suspension Systems?

I installed mine with my 4.5" lift and it has drop brackets on the sway bar and I didn't have any issues. It helped so much in fact that I took my front sway bar off.

I have an 01 2500 with the Kore chase. I also have the dss. I had the DSS previously then put the Chase on. The drop blocks for the kore will not work with the DSS. They will lower the sway bar so that it interferes with the DSS. On a larger lift it might be fine as it will lower the sway bar enough not to interfere. So I had a choice of not using the blocks at all and living with the not quite set right sway bar which probably wouldnt be a real problem or you can lengthen the ends of the sway bar end links. Which is what I did. Carli suspension sells some adjustable sway bar end links that will I think accomodate a 3 inch lift(might be wrong on how high) but they will definitely take care of the 2 inches or so the chase gives you. So in essence instead of lowering the front of the sway bar you are raising the rear of it.

Hey Thanks. I spoke with KORE today and they said they will be coming out with something in 2-3 months. I think I will wait as see what they come out with before I do anything.
