If you like messing with stuff, i made my own for about $8 depending on what length steel you have to buy. Drill three holes in the plate, none on the jeep.

I have the Kilby one. Needed elbow grease squeezing my TF SS into the bracket, but it does it's job. $30.

What's the benefit of relocation? Up out of the way?

Just installed this last weekend..w stock SS, however, after install got a lot of wandering left to right, and for some reason needed to mess w centering my wheel again!!??!! Did not adjust track bar (RK) or anything else..disconnected the SS last night and still get a gentle drift to the right. Do have a 3" spacer kit on and noticed recently the driver/front spring bowing more than usual (forwards)..is this somehow affecting my alignment? all help appreciated. thx

from the factory, the steering stabilizer hangs way down in harms way, doesn't take extreme wheeling to customize it in a bad way.
Any of the relocation kits will get it up above the tie rod and make it live a lot longer.
The poly kit is beefy, well designed and easy to install - just put one on cjb321's jeep as part of his poly stage 3 kit.
I made my own very similar to theirs a few years ago - one of the first fabrication projects I did on my rig.

I've been kicking the idea around about making one similar to ORO's - they move it up onto the drag link, at least until I go hydro :D

I am having the JKS (OGS162) one welded on this week. When welded on it also reinforces the trackbar mount which is something I was trying to accomplish as well. Using the Poly tie-rod clamp on the other end of my TF SS.

I dont have "poly's" but I built one very similar when they had the stud design, looks to be similar dimensions. i have no additional bump stops. The stabilizer will hit frame and dent it on full compression. Not that I've ever done that or anything lol.
