Steering stabilizer kit from lmc, is it any good and worth the money...

I saw the kit on lmc while looking up some parts i need. So i was thinking of ordering it, but I want to know if its any good. I was trying to get a 5/7 drop, but I will have wait for a while on 2/4 drop i have now. I had to order a complete brake system and complete suspension.

If this is good, its only $60 for the kit. Would it work with my drop now 2/4 and will it continue working with the 5/7 drop later?

You won't need a steering stabilizer on your truck. They are normally used in conjunction with big tires.

WOW! Lots of nice progress. Well, except the motor part. I wondered what happened to you. I expected to see this thing on the streets a few months back.

i thought about that when i was doing the brake and suspension, but when the mechanic got the truck....i told him i was going to paint the engine bay and the inner wheel fenders......but one thing lead to another and i just can't wait to get her back....but yes i regret not doing it when i had the chance......but, i will hopefully sometime this year......thanks

Re: Steering stabilizer kit from lmc, is it any good and worth the money...

as for the steering stabilizer, I was wondering the same thing but I wanted one for my 88 k1500, I know they are mostly for as mentioned bigger tires and bump steer.
