Power steering pumps and stabilizers?

I would like to put a factory style steering stabilizer on my 1997 F350. It has nothing currently on it and I can not see where one was ever mounted. I have Fisher MM push plates so this limits the type to factory style. Can you guys recommend a brand that will work. Also my pump is getting a little loud. I replaced the one on my last ford (94 F150 ) with a new one but it was still a little loud. Any quieter aftermarket options out there? Thanks

Don't know what Fisher MM push plates are(plow?), but I run a Rancho on my '89. It was a universal mount kinda deal. I didn't like it as it was flimsy and started to walk around on the frame becaue it just clamped around it and the frame is not straight and even there, so I just cut it up and welded the mount solid on the outside of the rail.

Are you using the recommended "TYPE F" automatic transmission fluid as your power steering fluid, rather than regular power steering fluid?
