Stabilizer correction parts
This part compensates for the effect on the stabilizer caused by lifting.
Role of stabilizers
Stabilizers are important components that have a significant impact on cornering dynamics and handling stability.
Also called an anti-roll bar, it is a type of torsion spring.
When the vehicle body tries to roll during cornering, a twisting force is generated by the stabilizers, which presses the left and right undercarriage against the road surface and reduces roll.
Stabilizers are generally attached to the vehicle body and undercarriage via stabilizer links.
The stabilizer link converts the vertical motion of the undercarriage (suspension) into a circular arc motion and transmits it to the stabilizer, which becomes the force of the circular arc motion, generating a twisting force on the stabilizer.
Decreased stabilizer effectiveness due to lifting
Lifting up the vehicle moves the body and suspension away from the vehicle and changes the mounting position relationship of the stabilizers. At the same time, the mounting angles of the stabilizer and links change.
If the changed mounting angle is not compensated for, the force applied to the stabilizer will be reduced or the position at which the stabilizer begins to work will become earlier, and the stabilizer will not be able to perform at its 100% capacity.
It also leads to deterioration of ride quality.
Proper functioning of stabilizers by adding corrections
If the mounting position relationship of the stabilizer is expressed in terms of fulcrum, force point, and action point, in the stock condition, the force acts at almost 90 degrees to the action point when stroking, so the force from the road surface can be transmitted to the stabilizer without loss.
When lifting is performed without correction, the force acts at an angle to the point of action, and the force is dispersed, resulting in a smaller force transmitted to the stabilizer than originally intended. In addition, since the force is exerted against the lateral direction, it leads to deterioration of ride quality.
In addition, depending on the vehicle, the stabilizer is always under tension even at 1G. When tension is applied, even when driving straight on a flat road surface, the stabilizer will function on its own, resulting in loss of the suspension's original movement.
This issue—where the stabilizer bar’s mounting position has shifted due to the lift—can be resolved by making adjustments to the stabilizer bar itself.
One method is to replace the stabilizer links with extended ones. By lengthening the stabilizer links—which connect the stabilizer bar to the suspension—by an amount equal to the distance the stabilizer bar was moved away during the lift, you can properly compensate for the change.
Another method is to install stabilizer down blocks. By lowering the stabilizer bar’s mounting position (pivot point) by an amount equal to the distance it was moved away during the lift, you can properly compensate for the change.
Stabilizer extension link
This part ensures optimum stability of a lifted vehicle by extending the stabilizer stay when the vehicle is lifted by COUNTRY SUSPENSION.

Stabilizer downblock (moving down the sway bar mounting position)
This part ensures optimum stability of a lifted vehicle by lowering the mounting position of the sway bar bushings with a block when the vehicle is lifted by country suspension.
Mounting bolts are also included.
