Rancho Steering stabilizer..which one
Anyone out there know which model of Rancho steering stabilizer I need for a stock 2017 F350 4x4? New truck and not familiar with what is the stock "lift" and other attributes such as "monotube", dual vs single, aand whether to use the OEM damper mounts or change them out for their mounts.. I just need to settle down the front end when I'm traveling the pot hole ridden interstate here in NE Ohio.

That would be a monotube style stabilizer, like our 7000MT or the Fox one...
In a dual setup (with a level) there is no push...

Also if you plan on doing it yourself get a cheap pitman arm puller on Amazon it will make the swap much easier. I didnt get one and had to use a torch and heat it up to get it out. There is just no room to get a good hammer swing in that location.

I put on the 985-24-001 at 7k miles and it's a night and day difference too. Factory unit was completely blown, I compressed it and left it on the garage floor for 3 days and it did not move a 1/4 inch. I didn't have DW ...yet that is....but VERY bad bump steer from the OEM damper being garbage.

This is the unit I had Ford Put on my truck (and they paid for it....). Its certainly better then the OEM, however I did manage to get the truck to DW with it on - albeit it was a much slower, less violent evolution that resolved quicker then the stock stabilizer. Certainly a improvement. Stock truck in sig.
