Try driving without the "stabilizer" plate; just unbolt it.  Hit that 1st
corner slowly tho'  -  my Scout was scary without it.  I remove it for
wheeling but put it back on before hitting the street.  By the way, it makes
a 100+ RTI point difference.

What did you mean by a "shock type"?  The function of the plate is to fight
body roll by tying the shackles together - very different from a shock style
steering stabilizer.
