Dual Steering Stabilizer

If anyone is looking for a dual steering stabilizer for the Excursion, this Rancho one for a 2004 F-250 works great. Part# RS98509

I put a single bilstein on mine a couple weeks ago. I initially did it for a couple reasons, 1- To match the shocks up front 2- looks nice 3- off road packages came with it and 4- there is a noticable difference when driving through Seattle. Not sure if your aware but we pretty much have two seasons here construction and rain :-misssingt After installation I noticed a little less vibration after hitting the same bumps daily for a year. Being that I have stock tires IMO there's no reason for a double. After putting this one on though its definately a nice upgrade.

OP- thanks for sharing the info on your double, hope it works like you want it.

I removed my dual set up after my 2nd ps pump was struggling. Fixed it right up; keep that in mind if you have issues. Added plus, don't snag as many rocks off road.

My Ex had a single one, one that was tired and looking like junk. So when I upgraded to my new BDS lift, I opted for their dual setup. My Ex with its 35's drives like a dream now!

There are many individual reasons people do things that others may not. For instance, I would never buy a V10 but you seem to enjoy yours. I do a lot of hunting and fishing on private land which have several unimproved roads. The extra dampening across the steering system decreases driver reactivity while also improves control on uneven terrain. Plus it seems to help with most of the steering slop I had and others complained about.

Well said...

Furthermore, if you're running stock to 285 tires, you'd be doing good with the single stabilizer.

If you're running 305, 35s, or 37s you need dual steering stabilizers.

My '01 needs dual steering stabilizers to make my 35s behave better on the road and make steering easier and better for my Dad. The single Bilstein 5100 on the '05 definitely smoothed things out made the steering feel way more controlled overall.

If you have near stock tires one stabilizer is more than enough unless you have other front end problems or must have bling. Many vehicles don't even have stabilizers.
