Part #: SC-2960
I didn't intend to replace my steering stabilizer so soon. I didn't have any problems with the stock stabilizer and the 35" tires, so didn't see the need. I was going to have the dealership swap the stabilizer around since there was a TSB out about the position of the stabilizer. Some were installed backwards and could get damaged. Okay, that's exactly what I did. I didn't eve do it off road, unless you consider the backyard of my house off road. A small tree stump reached up and played tag with the stabilizer. I was impressed to see how easy it was to crush and bend the factory stabilizer. Now Monroe does not have a listing for the stabilizer for the 2007 and up JK's yet. I had to take the old one and make some measurements on compressed length, extended length, eye size, and eye width. The closest match in the cataloge was the SC-2960 stabilizer. It has a little more extended length than the factory stabilizer, but the compressed length was only about 1/2" more and the eye's matched perfectly. I wouldn't doubt that this shock body finds a shorter throw shaft in the future to match up with the JK's. This stabilizer does work. This shock is definately bigger and stronger than the factory stabilizer. It's also heavy compared to the factory stabilizer

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
