Problem w/Skyjacker dual steering stabilizers

[Bored_2wd]

Hello and happy thanksgiving to everyone!
I just replaced my dual skyjacker steering stabilizers with new ones, and they are too small. Skyjacker says these are the right ones, but they are at least an inch shorter, which translates to two inches difference in throw from max closed to max opened. has anyone else run in to this problem? The old ones are too rusted to read the actual number on them. The result is that it limits the steering, and something is going to break as a result of those stabilizers hitting max closed and max open. I never had problems with the old stabilizers doing this. If anyone can read the part numbers on the skyjacker stabilizers they have, this would be a great help. Any advice?

When I went to test mine, it bent the bar that comes down to hold the stabilizers to the frame, and works fine. Not sure of the part numbers, but if you are sure they are that much shorter, you could always move your bracket to the inside of the frame. That is how full size old ttb ford sabilizers are.

I agree with blaine122300, the ones I installed bent the drop bracket in a little, after it settled in everything was fine.
