Anyone have photos of a steering stabilizer setup they are running with the Clydesdale steering in TRO form? I finally got it all installed and the drag link seems way too close to the engine crossmember to fit anything. I'm running OEM 74 power steering pitman arm.

Agree on not using one. I still like seeing one up there, but anything for a Clydesdale will necessarily be at least semi-custom.
Whether fully custom where you make your own brackets, or semi-custom where you can find some ready-to-use bracketry of some kind, it certainly is a bit more awkward than normal.
But frankly I'm still surprised nobody (even us!) has come up with a dropped bracket for a stock stabilizer shock for use with stock linkage. They look pretty funky just hanging their at that odd angle you get on a lifted Bronco.

Which is probably why most just leave them off anyway. Lots of us (including myself) left theirs off decades ago and never worried about it enough to go to the extra trouble.
I did initially when I customized an F150 steering link to fit my '71, but that was just a matter of getting a '78/'79 bracket to bolt to the new draglink. Once I installed the ConFerr skid plate however, and did not like how they had the shock relocated, I never got around to making it work.

Sorry I don't have a solution for you MIDEVIL. But someone might chime in with some good news.
Thanks for using the Clydesdale on your Bronco. Look forward to hearing more ideas and seeing more pics.
