Important Note: This steering stabilizer kit is designed for the 99-06
GM 1/2 ton 4WD. It will fit lift heights from 4"- 6”. This kit will NOT
work on vehicles with a lift kit that relocates the upper A-arms.
Installation:
1. Park the vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface with the front
tires / wheels pointing straight forward.
2. Set the emergency brake & block the rear tires / wheels.
3. While supporting the front cross member with a floor jack, remove
the front lower A-arm bolt at the frame. (If installing on a vehicle with
4” or more lift, it will be the upper front bolt on the after market cross
member. Remove the bolt using a 15/16 socket. (See Photo # 1)
Note: A 5/8" x 5” fine thread bolt, washers, & nuts are supplied in
case the existing bolts are not long enough.
4. Once the bolt is removed, reinstall with the new Skyjacker outer
stabilizer bracket. Be sure to install the bolt pointing toward the front
of the vehicle. Drill the mounting hole using a 5/16" drill bit & install
the supplied 3/8" thread cutter bolt. (See Photo # 2 / Arrow
Shows the 5/16" Drill Bit)
5. Attach the new Skyjacker shock stud to the new bracket
being sure to use two of the supplied 1/2" washers between
the new shock stud & new bracket. (See Arrow in Photo
# 3)

6. Install the new Skyjacker main bracket to the center steering link
using the supplied 516" u-bolts, washers, & nuts. Measure from
the center of the pitman arm 9” & tighten the new main bracket.
Adjust the main bracket as needed, so both steering stabilizers
are pulled out half way. (See Photo # 4)
7. Attach both of the new Skyjacker steering stabilizers to the new
outer brackets & main bracket. (See Photo # 4 & # 5)
8. Once the new steering stabilizers are installed, check all brackets
& bolts for proper installation. Cycle the steering left to right &
check all parts for adequate clearance.

Jesus Forgives,
Rocks Don’t
Jesus Christ Died For You.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who
believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
Ephesians 2:8
God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can’t take
credit for this; it is a gift from God.
Psalms 18:2
The Lord is my Rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my Rock, in
whom I find protection. He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and
my stronghold.
Romans 10:9-10
That if you shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in
your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
Pray This Simple Prayer:
God, I come to You admitting I have sinned against You and I need you to
take control of my life. The Bible says anyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved. I am calling on You, Jesus. I ask that You come live in
my heart and be the Lord over my life today. I do believe You died on the
cross for me and came back to life to give me life! Thank You, Lord Jesus
for a new life in You!
Now, go and tell somebody about your new life in Jesus, get a Bible, begin
to read it, and go to a Bible believing church.

Jesús murió por ti.
Juan 3:16
“Porque tanto amó Dios al mundo, que dio a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo
el que cree en él no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna.”
Romanos 3:23
“Pues todos han pecado y están privados de la gloria de Dios.”
Efesios 2:8
“Porque por gracia ustedes han sido salvados mediante la fe; esto no procede
de ustedes, sino que es el regalo de Dios.”
Salmos 18:2
“El Señor es mi roca, mi amparo, mi libertador; es mi Dios, el peñasco
en que me refugio. Es mi escudo, el poder que me salva, ¡mi más alto
escondite!”
Romanos 10:9-10
“9 Que si confi esas con tu boca que Jesús es el Señor, y crees en tu corazón
que Dios lo levantó de entre los muertos, serás salvo. 10 Porque con el
corazón se cree para ser justifi cado, pero con la boca se confi esa para ser
salvo.”
Ahora dí esta simple oración:
Dios, vengo a Ti y admito que he pecado contra Ti, necesito que tomes el
control de mi vida. La Biblia dice que todo aquel que invoca el nombre del
Señor escapará con vida. En este momento yo clamo ante Ti, Jesús; te pido
que vengas a vivir en mi corazón y que tomes el control de mi vida. ¡Yo creo
que tu moriste en la cruz y resucitaste para darme vida! ¡Gracias Señor Jesús,
por una nueva vida que tengo en Ti! Amen.
Ahora ve y dile a alguien sobre la nueva vida que tienes en Cristo. Compra
una Biblia y empieza a leerla. Busca una Iglesia que cree en la Biblia y hazte
parte de esa Iglesia.
