Steering Stabilizer
I always order my trucks with the snow plow prep and they never come with a steering stabilizer.

What is the reason for this and can I add one?

Please disregard. I am a moron. After owning an 08 for 3 years and now the 2011 I just found it under the truck in the dark with a flashlight because I was curious. I am truly not a mechanic.

It's called learning and at least you went and figured it out.
Nothing wrong with that!

I second that!
But does anyone know if Bilstein / Fox / King / Anyone has a replacement cylinder for the stock units? I can't find anything.

Thanks

The only I see are Rancho, Pro Comp and Rough Country. I have been looking myself for a single replacement but most are dual setups.

Looks like Carli has just released a Bilstein 7100 stock-replacement stabilizer. I am going to give it a try.

Thanks

They are at www.thecarlisuspension.com but they don't have it on their site yet, you will have to give them a call.

Thanks
