Bilstein dual stabilizers

I'm already running bilstein 5100 shocks on my 97 f350. I need a dual stabilizer setup but I want to stick with the bilsteins. Except for pmf, which is a very nice looking kit, I don't see anything offered. I plan on building my own mounts. Does anyone know the part number of the stabilizers I would need?

That. Even when I had 38's I never ran steering stabilizers.

Just 35"s now. I'm getting a lot of feedback from the road thru my steering wheel. Everything I was reading said they would help.

Start checking your steering components. All steering stabilizers do is MASK problems, NOT fix them

Everything is new, tight or repacked. New springs, shocks, rsk and bushings.

Tires and wheels are new too. The old 6" suspension lift and 37" military tires rode and handled so poorly I can't tell if it did this before.

Did what before? What is it doing now that you are trying to solve?

Yes this, perhaps if you'd expand on "I'm getting a lot of feedback from the road thru my steering wheel" in a bit more detail.

How wide are the tires, stock backset on the wheels or no?

Are you talking about "bump steer", the steering wheel does a right/left action when encountering large bumps and or dips in the road?

If lifted how much on this truck?

Track bar and drag link should be near parallel to the ground/axle as practical, parallel is best but close works too.

In your driveway? At 90mph? Is the feedback over bumps?

What are the specifics of the RSK and springs. Did you change the pitman arm or track bar?

35X12.5 tires. Little bit of backspace. Missouri roads all suck so the wheel lightly twitches down the interstate. I'd call it bump steer. Moves a couple inches on our crappy blacktops. Trackbar and drag link are pretty close if not parallel.
