Still missing parts for shocks, struts and suspension

I think I have one of the missing steering stabilizer kits. Instead of four rubber mounting washers, I have three. All packed and ready for return. At nearly $90 and made in the USA, you'd think Ranch could get it right.

Pros
  • PRECISE DESIGN -- Brackets are CNC cut and bent for a perfect fit
Cons
  • Some nuances

Missing Parts - Stabilizer Bars

I don't know who lost them but I didn't have all the nuts and washers for the smaller U-bolts. not that I'm looking at the picture, I'm also missing the two smallest U-bolts. Found something in the garage and completed the project. Just be prepared for missing hardware. Other than that, this is a solid product.

Pros
  • FITS LARGE TIRES - Designed for vehicles with oversized wheels and tires.
Cons
  • Quality

Why didn't I do this earlier?

Our Samurai only has 30-inch tires, but it's still big enough to get a "death wobble" with the stock anti-roll bar if you hit fall damage. The stock sway bar I had was only a few years old, but I couldn't believe how much the new Rancho sway bar had changed. It actually made it easier to control than the stock model, which I wasn't expecting. Obviously, the regular stabilizer connected to the frame and blade has an inefficient design. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one of these.

Pros
  • BUILT FOR DURABILITY - Equipped with a shroud to protect the damper shaft and stuffing box and .25 inch. High-strength, low-alloy steel bracket construction for durability
Cons
  • Outer
