When I drive over the diagonal seams where a bridge meets the asphalt the steering wheel no long flicks back and forth.
Why didn't ford get this right?

I was able to do 60ft lbs on end that goes on steering rod but 67ft lb seems high on frame end..while tightening it ..the rubber bushing on rod end of stabilizer gets pretty squished.so I just tightened it snug..67 ft lbs seems like it would pretty much flattened the rubber bushing

Just put mine on today in preparation for the Carli level kit headed my way. Definitely needed the puller as the factory taper end was rusty inside and tight.
I put 60# on the frame side which definitely squished the rubber bushing being the steel sleeve was about 3/16” shorter than the rubber. Really think there should be a washer that covers the face of the rubber to keep it compressed a little more even on the factory bolt. Same on the other side. Looks like there should be another washer between the stabilizer and the hex on the shaft.
Other than that, it really killed any feedback thru the steering wheel on all but the lager pot holes. I did not notice any tighter feeling to the steering but I don’t drive the truck on a regular basis to where I may notice. Fox products sure look impressive.
Pretty happy with it and curious how it does with the bigger tires coming.

I had my heart set on the double, but after reading all the posts, I decided to look at the single. I just swung by a local 4x4 store here and they told me when you only use a single, it can make the truck feel like it's out of alignment (pull to one side if you let your hands off the wheel). I guarantee you guys are a lot smarter than what I was told. Any truth to it?
Thanks!

Both of these look like what you are recommending. I would assume, based on pure price, the ATS is a better performer over the 2.0 Performance Shock?

Two totally different units - thats why the price difference. The standard "can" cause a push because its a standard directional shock, where the ATS does not. Though shaft designs (ATS) have been used for many years with motorcycles and Fox just applied that technology to trucks. The ATS is also fully 24 click adjustable to meet your needs/preferences.

Thanks guys! Sounds like a good option either way. This week she gets a clear bra and a 5 year ceramic wax. March 26th ... 7,500 lb auto air bags. I'd like to do the stabilizer at the same time as the air bags.

I googled the ATS Fox Stabilizer, but all the models are 2016 or earlier models. Where do I find one for a 2019 Ford F350, or at least 2017-2019?
