Too much steering stabilizer?

I run 285/75r/16 tires on my 2000 4x4 X and noticed the Skyjacker ( I believe, need to clear the leaking fluid mess ) single tube stabilizer is now well shot. Would there be any issues with looking into a dual stabilizer system other than I would no doubt need a new mounting bracket as well?

Thanks

Here's where mine got mounted, not sure it's the same as an F350 though.

Red face Must make working under the truck easier...

Sean, you are a little smaller than I had envisioned. But at least it is good to see that you practice safe working conditions with the helmet. There are a lot of sharp corners and things that will not move when you bump into them with said head.

Talking Come in handy...

Sean, I am sure there is more than one scenario to have that small set of hands to assist. If we could just shrink ours on demand...
