Looking for a little help on the best course of action to take here. So the trail leader package I ordered comes with a PR44 that has a hydro assist bracket and no tab to mount a steering stabilizer. Since I am only on 1.75" of lift and don't have a drag link flip my drag link is not clearing the hydro bracket. I have come up with a few options for that and for my steering stabilizer but just wanted to get some second opinions.
So I could just adjust my steering stops out so far that I don't turn enough to make the drag link contact the bracket. But by doing that I lose just over a half turn of the wheel and this is how much my steer stop would have to come out. That seems a bit excessive. So my thought is to just cut it off and if I ever go hydro assist in the future deal with it then.
This is the drag link hitting the bracket at full left turn
Now in regards to the steering stabilizer I came up with 3 possible options.
1 leave it off and don't run one
2 only cut off part of the hydro bracket and drill a new hole to mount the steering stab on it. The issue I have there is by mounting it parallel to the tie rod it blocks the track bar bolt so I would have to take it off any time I need to mess with the track bar. (Not the end of the world but annoying)
3 mount the steering stab in the upper hole of the raised track bar bracket that I am not using right now. Keeps it nice and high and out of the way BUT is mounted at an angle so not sure if it needs to be parallel to the tie rod and axle or not? If I mount it at that angle am I just going to bend it right away?
Option 2
Option 3
Any thoughts, advise, and opinions are welcome!
