The part number is 983-02-143 for the 2019 F350. Good luck finding one. FOX may be catching up with back orders by now. I got an email a couple weeks ago, around mid-February, from the company that I put in an order with back in December. They had gotten one in.

Thanks! That helps. Everything I found is out of stock. Looks like we should buy some Fox stock!!! 😁😁😁

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.

Does anyone have the torque spec for the tapered bolt that attaches to the stabilizer arm?
I have the FOX 985-24-001 single stabilizer on my 2019 F350. Wanted to make sure it was torqued enough, looked all over and all i could find was the spec for the shock attachment nuts.

Finally got some miles under my 250 since installing the fox steering stabilizer, a lil stiff for 20 or so miles, but now it’s a big improvement, perfect timing for pot hole season, plain and simple it reduces the shock at the steering wheel.

Installed mine today,, very simple. I ordered the lisle 41970 puller as suggested above in post #2,, it did work, but a smaller puller would be better for the job. The 41970 is a XXLG puller, I think any normal size puller would work better, you don’t need a XXLG puller
