It should come with the brackets, mine did, but I got the dual steering stabilizer. Best bet is to call Skyjacker and ask them. Don't have any pictures of install, but it was pretty straight forward. Hope this helps.
 






I lied, I did have one. The brackets are the golden colors you see. Not sure what if any difference there is for the single. I should also mention, angles changed somewhat after this picture was taken when we installed the bigger drop down pitman arm.

Does it look right looks kinda crazy because of the angle
 






everybody worries about the angle, so why not put the stabiliser between here and here,, ???

make a bracket that fits the pitman arm

It doesn't matter to me. It works good for me so I'm not complaining but I have just heard it crazy angles and its not bad for it. Is it ?
 






I don't see it hurting anything as it is... however I don't need nor run a steering stabilizer at all on mine (35x12.50 tires). I think stabilizers are band-aids to cover up steering & suspension problems.

I do see the angle of your steering linkage itself needs some attention (needs a longer dropped pitman arm, or swapping a better linkage on it entirely). If you're having some issues, I would certainly deal with that first.
