Dual shock steering stabilizer
I just installed the RC N3 system after fitting a 2.5 leveling kit, 20” wheels and 35” tires. I did not relive the stock steering stabilizer. Should I?
The steering feels so much better than stock after the lift... It’s amazing. It is a little hard on parking maneuvers but there is no wobble on speed humps or pot holes.

Yup, that’s what it is. I’m surprised it’s seized on a brand new truck. I do not have a puller but I’ll give it a shot with a pickle fork tool and go look for a puller tomorrow. In the mean time I put the frame side back on.

I’ll give it another try tomorrow and report back. Steering feels great with all 3 dampeners when driving but a little bit too stiff when maneuvering in tight spots at low speeds (parking).

Pickle fork from harbor freight ($7.99) did the job in 5 minutes. It’s amazing how the right tool for the job makes it so much easier.
I like the steering better without the stock dampener on. Still firm but now I don’t have to wrestle the steering wheel when maneuvering in parking lots.
