[PirateDiesel12]

Yes I searched and found that thread. I'm asking about the aformentioned ^^^^ Bilstein Stabilizer that says it works for the 01-10's.

How do you guys change the steering stabalizer on here anyhow!?!?
I beat the hell outta mine and couldnt get it out at all!

Ive had a Rancho sittin on my shelf for a year now.

Its a tapered bolt, you need a fork tool like you use for getting tapered ball joints loose.

This. Don't be scared to hit it hard. They can be pretty stubborn. I have the Rancho on my truck. Seems to do the job.

Agreed the fork makes it much easier. I have a rancho from o Reilly's and it does great even with 37s

Yeah this..

The centerlink moves too much to get a good result beating on it, fork it!

I beat the living hell out of mine when i installed my lift last year and couldnt get that stabalizer to break free to save my life with a fork. I gave up and got my Rancho SS sitting on the shelf yet.

I used a fork. With a small sledge to persuade.

The Monroe page listed SC2963 and SC2969 for my 2011 3500HD. - Also for the 2011 2500HD. Wonder if I should have used the 2969 - compressed length is longer and the extended length is longer too.

Did improve the steering. Anyone take measurements for the steering arm movement?

Monroe 2963
Compressed Length 12.500"
Extended Length 20.625"
Travel Length 8.125"

Monroe 2969
Compressed Length 13.688"
Extended Length 22.960"
Travel Length 9.312"

Monroe 2964
Compressed Length 14.000"
Extended Length 23.500"
Travel Length 9.500"

The Monroe 2964 work for the LML... So I'm thinking this will work...
