Where I circled is the swaybar hitting the stabilizer. and the arrow's are the gap between the swaybar mounts and the frame where its originally mounted

Let me know what you guys think and I'll see what HBS says as well.

iSlacker816, We have been trying to reach you this morning, please give us a call toll free 877.731.7911 so we can talk about it. It is a little hard to see from the picture, but it looks like you need to position the sway bar behind the stabilizer bar. It should sit between the bearing mounting plate and the sway-bar mounting feet.
Refer to Figure 1 on the second page of the instructions (click here to view instructions)

See Below:

We want to help you out, so let us know.

By the way, wermbang, great picture. Your stabilizer bar is a little different than the one iSlacker has. Your truck must be an '03 or newer. But thanks for posting the pic.

Ok so after one of the great tech's at HBS explained that the swaybar needs to feed threw the steering stabilizer it went right in... I'm an idiot lol. Their customer service was super and very helpful threw the whole process and that's what I want out of company. Great products and service!

Strait from there site.

The HBS Dodge Ram Steering Stabilizer is not intended or designed to be used as a replacement for a worn-out gearbox or other steering components. The stabilizer bar will extend the life of a properly functioning steering gearbox.
