Hello all I'm looking to replace my old Rancho steering stabilizer on my 79 f150 4x4. I'm just curious what options I have and if a dual mount would help me out or if it's over kill. I don't have much bump steer just a little vibration in the wheel from the 33in boggers. And I know that stabilizer is 15 years old.

Fyi I just fixed my death wobble with the lower track bar stud and new adjustable track bar and bushings from wild horses. Yay!

 

I'd say that "any" brand of a new steering stabilizer would be an improvement over your
15 year old part.

I have a Rancho on mine...works good enough.

Regarding the vibration from your boggers...are they balanced out correctly?

 

True, I'm just looking to see if there's a general consensus of a better brand or particular stabilizer. I have the Rancho 9000s all the way around right now to. I want to have a nice ride and able to perform well in extreme conditions. when I'm replacing those im looking at some bilstiens w reservoirs.
As for the boggers there balanced as well as they could be I watched my tire guys work on them for over an hour. They are worn and going to be replaced soon with some new iroks.

 

15 years? Not too shabby. Other options are a monotube style. These will have a higher charge than a normal dampener. Good luck!

 

I agree! It has been a great lift kit just needs some sprucing up. But I'm glad you chimed in, what would you suggest? Simply replace the shock and keep it in the stock location or use a dual style mount? Im not really sure of the proud and cons.

 

Do you see yourself going to a bigger tire? If so dual monotubes help absorb bumps amazingly, if you are staying on 33's a single 5000 again honestly. Save that receipt lifetime warranty.

 

This truck will be staying with 33s.
And thanks for the info, I have all my receipts for this build since I've owned it haha can't say that for my father though.

 

Nice! Cool that you got it from your dad. My son already says my Jeep will be his someday....

 

Tell your son good luck with that my Dad is 86 and his 1968 kaiser jeep commando with the V6 was always to be mine but he's still driving it to town Now his great grand kids have laid claim to it ..

 

That is cool, bummer that the grand kids get it.
