I have an 2008 f-250 2wd and would like to replace the steering stabilizer with something a little heavier, but can't seem to find one available, does anyone know if they make one? Thanks.

The stock location is trash, buy a dual that hangs off the axle and be done with it. Icon and BDS make them.

Can that be done with a two wheel drive? That is my problem, I can't find one for a two wheel drive.

Take a look at these from Skyjacker:

Car Part Wholesale - Auto Parts and Accessories Catalog - Skyjacker Steering Damper

Car Part Wholesale - Auto Parts and Accessories Catalog - Skyjacker Steering Damper

Both of them say they'll fit 2WD also.

I'm staying posted as I'd really like to change mine and have been told the Motorcrap OEM is no good.

Ah.....thanks Ed. I had no idea. I just got mine ordered and am staying with the OEM. It has worked fine so far and I don't have the death wobble.

Hey John, the timing on that was dead on. Dropping the package at FEDEX on my way out. I'll add that the customer service at CPH was excellent, RA was in my email the following morning.

That's great to hear....good customer service is huge. Not to hijack but I just got my Bilsteins mounted yesterday. Shock Warehouse. I ordered them with free shipping on Monday and fully expected them to not be here until next week sometime (free shipping generally means SLOW). Got them Wednesday and they're on now. I WILL use Shock Warehouse again.

Glad you caught that, I looked those up and there others they say will fit that app. on that web site, did you see the skyjkr part# s977500, mfr. #7500 they say it will fit 2 or 4wd, open it is 17.06 in., closed 10.48 in., is that the one you had? Thanks, let me know if you find one, I'll keep looking.

Hi Bayou, yep that's the one I got. The box said (took notes in case of a prob with return) "Skyjacker hydro7000 steering stabilizers" and the side panel stated Skyjacker OEM stabilizer SKY7500, but under that sticker was the #7003, which, to me, sounds like it might just be a different Skyjacker part #????? in which case the fault may well have been exclusively at CarPartsWholesale. I'm going to see if I can contact Skyjacker direct as, again, I really want to correctly replace mine. I'll post what I find out.
