STABILIZER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Jack up the front of the Jeep and lower onto jack stands to allow the front wheels to turn.

axle housing. Do not fully tighten at this time.
3. Install the ½” X 2½” bolt on the bracket and install on the tie rod on the driver side as shown in Photo 2 with the
offset on the bracket to the inside and against the tie rod clamp—bolt can not be installed after installing bracket.
