      There are two basic types, stacked and side by side.  In either case, one end mounts on axle tube and the other end mounts to steering cross bar.

I got mine from Rancho. They had instructions on the website. IIRC the part number was RS98501. http://www.gorancho.com/install_instructions.php It should be simalar for all installs

Hey Muddnutz, what makes you know that you need the dual stabilizer shocks ?
Just curious because I just rebuilt my front end and seems that it still likes to wonder a little
at around 40 to 60 mph.
Does this help with that problem ?

     The recommend dual steering shocks for oversized tires.  They say it helps your steering componets from prematurly wearing out, and I always used them with bigger tires it seems to help on steering and keeping the trucks in a straight line.

it helps when you hit pot holes or stumps it kind of reduces the shock to the steering wheel that you would feel when you hit something and the wheel being jerked out of you hand when you hit something

I would think Pro-Comp would have directions on their website.
