My steering stabilizer from Rough Country came today. During the install I noticed that when screwing the supplied 3/8 hex nuts on I needed a torque wrench to just tighten them on the bolts for the brackets. Then when I tried to screw on the other two 3/8 nuts onto the stabilizer, only one would screw on either end of the stabilizer. So, I removed everything and tried the other two nut that I used on the bolts for the brackets and they would not fit either on the stabilizer. Now I have to wait till tomorrow to get to a store to pick up some 3/8 nuts because the ones RC sent sucks.:fm:

Went and picked up a couple of fine threaded 3/8 nuts and only took me 20 minutes to install. All the nuts in the package they sent were coarse threaded. Two of them should have been fine threaded for the stabilizer. Bad on RC. Once this winter storm we are having breaks I will take the L out for a test run.
