Rancho perhaps?

i think fabtech has come up with something.

Rancho has had one for a couple years now that works for '01-03 HDs.

The bracket kit is model RS5407, and the shock itself is RS5548.

I've been looking for someone who made a DIRECT replacement myself. Seems like they all want to use that stupid bracket arrangement, instead of just using the existing mounting system.

I had to do that on my last truck, and the adjustment to get it right was a bit tedious (put it on, turn the wheel side to side, see if it was unable to go full lock, loosen the bracket, realigned it, turn the wheel...)

I put a Rancho steering stabilizer on my 04. Direct bolt up replacement.

Fabtech makes a direct replacement for the stock stabilizer, the part number is FTS8004.

Thanks for the info. Is Fabtech any good? I've hear some less then flattering things about them.

[BassinRVer]

It is just a stabilizer and not their lift kit. Fabtech use the factory mounting locations on this kit.
