I want to put a steering stabilizer on my 2000 lt bazer. I have searched the forums and I cant pin point what exactly i need. Rancho looks like is what I need but parts store has monroe but they dont seem to have the mounting brackets. Its snowing right now or I would go under the truck to see if I have a spot to put it
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks guys/gals
It clamps onto the center-link with two u-bolts and to a bracket that is already on the frame. To look stock, you'd have to find a ZR2 center-link with the hole in it to accept the stock steering stabilizer mount. But I don't know if the part will swap to a non-ZR2 Blazer.
I can't find any pictures of it installed but here is one of the complete unit. To locate the place where the u-bolts attach, you attach it to the frame with the one bolt then you find the mid point of the travel of the stabilizer and then attach the u-bolt end to the center-link. The bracket on the frame is likely squished together a bit and it might be a tight fit having never been used.
Just an FYI so that anyone reading this knows, I can confirm that a ZR2 center link will not fit a non-ZR2 truck. They're 3" longer to accommodate the wider stance of the ZR2.
If you want to have a factory look though, you can use the center link from a 1st gen Blazer or S10. They are the same measurements as the 2nd gen non-ZR2, and have the mount in the centre link to attach the steering stabilizer.
I have a picture of the rough country stabilizer installed in my build thread. I tried finding a 1st gen link to install when I bought it, but was unlucky in finding one
