i was just wondering if it is possible to mount a steering stabalizer to a '94 F-150 2wd with I-beams.

the truck has a 6" lift with '33 BFG mudterrains, so driving and keeping allignment can be a little difficult, especially on the highway.

i'm just thinking that the stabalizer might substantially help with driver fatigue, vibration, and all around driveability.

any info would be greatly appreciated!

im sure that there is some way to mount it on there, if you look at it for a while im sure you can find a spot. my friend made a mount for his that went from the tie rod...thing to one of the bolts for the front diff. but it kept on breaking because of flex. i dont even have a steering stabalizer on my truck yet and it actually does pretty fine with the 36's but i still need one pretty bad.

 

i have heard of people trying to mount the stabalizer the way you are describing with no success. like you said, the unit bends or becomes so loose it's worthless.

anyone have any ideas or know anything about how to make this work???

 

You would need a cylinder (shock) with spherical rod ends on it. That way you could get a lot more travel out of the assy. before it would bend the rod or brackets. As for placement of the cylinder, always try to maintain the same plane as the tie rod it is attached to. You may need to fabricate "drop " brackets for this.

when you say to fabricate "drop brackets" exactly what are you refering to?

should i weld some sort of brackets/hangers from the frame to attach the stabalizer assembly to?

sounds like the only option in order to keep the stabalizer in line with the the assembly.

let me know if there are any other ways/ideas to go about attaching a stabalizer kit.

thanks!!!
