No Steering Stabliizer???

I purchased a 2008 F350 crew cab short bed dually 4x4 and just noticed there is no steering stabilizer?? Is this normal? I thought most of them came with one? IF so any recommendations? Ford OEM? Aftermarket?

Thanks!

Hmm......I'll check. Too hot outside right now. Is it mounted differently than the 06 trucks?

Actually larger tires and a lift. Lifts by them selves give no ground clearance between the diff and ground. they are only good for suspension travel and being able to run those larger tires

Rubicon Express makes a steering stab relocation bracket that looks like you could benefit from. I had one on my 2000 and it worked great.
