2007-2017 JEEP WRANGLER JK DUAL STEERING STABILIZER BRACKET KIT
Safety Warning:
Suspension systems or components that enhance the off-road performance of your vehicle may cause it
to handle differently, on and off-road, than it did from the factory. Care must be taken to prevent loss of
control or vehicle rollover during sudden maneuvers. Failure to drive the vehicle safely may result in serious injury or death to driver and passengers. We recommend you always wear your seatbelt, drive safely
and avoid quick turns and other sudden maneuvers. Constant maintenance is required to keep your vehicle safe. Thoroughly inspect your vehicle before and after every off-road use.
Installation Warning:
We recommend that certified technicians perform the installations of our products. Attempts to install
these products without knowledge or experience may jeopardize the safety of the vehicle. These instructions only cover the installation of our products and may not include factory procedures for disassembly
and reassembly of factory components. Read instructions from start to finish and be sure all parts are
present before disassembling the vehicle. Included instructions are guidelines only for recommended procedures and in no way are meant to be definitive. Installer is responsible to insure a safe and controllable
vehicle after performing modifications. Do not perform test drives on public roads with partially completed
installations. Always double and triple check your work before use.

Installation:
A. Remove the factory steering stabilizer and tie rod mount and discard.

C. Install the body end of the steering stabilizers, RXJ2000B, into the axle bracket, 86-7752 and
logo ASM, 86-RM24322, using the 1/2” X 3” bolts, (6) spacers, 90-1216, and hardware. The
spacers are allowing you to position the steering stabilizers so they do not bind or make contact with other suspension components. We recommend putting (2) spacers behind the
steering stabilizer and one between the steering stabilizer and the logo ASM. (Photo 2)
