Steering stabilizers - bilstein or not ??

I did a search but can't find much on bilstein stabilizers - just shocks.

Just updated some front end parts - new ball joints and axle seals, as well as all new tie rod ends and drag link parts. Also did all new brakes. New shocks coming this week. So basically have a new front end.

Steering stabilizers are shot and I'm debating on doing bilsteins or not. I do run 35" tires and will do a dual stabilizer. Anyone made the change and like or hate it ???

looking at the one they make that's actually in line so it doesn't hang below the tie rod bar .. but acewolf you like the feel of the bilsteins ?

TNT --- Unless you are running 37" or larger tires...then you really do not need a dual setup. Of course the cool factor works...

So...the single Bilstein info is for your SD...

Bilstein 5100 Series Steering Stabilizer
Part # : F4-BE5-F884-H0

Good luck...

I used a Monroe stabilizer shock in the stock location and it seemed to work well with my 35s.

X3 on the TGC dual bilsteins. Im only running 295's but its one of my favorite mods on my truck so far. I had pro comp before and it didn't seem to help much.
