Putting a sidekick PS in my 86 sammy.  The sidekick pitman arm has bump-stops on it that will get in the way of the samurai bracket for the steering stablizer.  Do I hacksaw these off, or is there a better way to mount the stablizer?

I have the same question. Where do people do mount there steering stablizer in this situation. I have tried searching for pics but I can't really find anything.

The people at Roadless Gear suggested a generic stablizer that clamps to the axle and tie rod.  My other option was to trim and drill the sidekick pitman arm.  I believe the after market sabilizer is more robust than the stock unit.  Does anyone else have any experience with this?

Do you need the stabiliser with PS?

...most do not. 

I am using this as an RV toad not a rock crawler.  Does a stablizer improve the drivability for roads and trails?

Here is a pic of my aftermarket stabilizer in my sammi (no PS yet)


6" SPOA with half high steer and 32's. no problems on the road as well.

I have TracKick PS on my Sami.  I removed the stablizer during the install.  Been running without one for years. The steering is so feather light its scarry sometimes.  My thinking was/is a little dampening for the "input" would not be a bad thing.  To that end I modified a TracKick pitman arm to accept the Sami damper bracket.  Then I reinstalled the steering damper it its OEM postition.  Works great (one way ).  The OEM "shock" is too long for any significant right turn.  Took the damper off and that's where I left that project.  I haven't had time to look look for an aftermarket shock with the right characteristics. 

Some one was selling an adapter bracket for this purpose but I can remember where I saw it.  I'm a bit dubious about it though (knowing what I know about the fit issues).

The folks at Roadless recommended a Rancho aftermarket stablizer.  I will let you know how it works out once I get everyhting back together.
