I'm jumping in.
I have a leveled 2018 F250 crew PSD. Still stock tires but will be going to 35's.
The truck has had bumpsteer since the day we test drove it. No difference in feel before or after level (dealer supplied and installed).
I'm going to upgrade. I'm not sure if I'm going Fox single, King, or PMF dual. Those are my current three favorites. I'm not going jumping or anything but I want bumpsteer better controlled. My wife's lifted TJ Wrangler has zero. None of my leaf sprung superduties had it. Lifted or not the leaf springs never allowed it. At 6k miles it should better control expansion joints. My coworker has a gas F250 (2017) used to pull his camper. It's at dealer awaiting a fix. He has had 2 occurrences of full blown DW. 18k miles. If I can start heading it off now I'm doing it. This truck is amazing otherwise. Drives and rides unbelievable outside of the bouncing steering wheel.
These threads have lots of good information and I've been reading all. I'm honestly leaning PMF with bilsteins first and just a single Fox second.

Don't go duals. More parts to break and replace. Go with a single Fox ATS - best of both worlds (a single with dual functionality). Stock location (hidden from rocks and stuff) fully adjustable to your preferences. Rebuildable. Cheaper ($430 vs $550). And install is simple.

I love mine. Have it adjusted to my liking and handles my 37's (level lift only) with ease. Drives smooth as silk.

Maybe I discounted the ATS too quickly. I wish it were available. From what I've read isn't it hard to get?

I may have gotten lucky. Ordered black Friday from stage 3. Said they had -3 in stock, yes negative. I paid $385 to my door. Arrived 7 days later drop shipped from Fox direct.

I wanted the ATS as soon as I saw it because its just like Ohlins dampers I run on my motorcycles - through shaft design, doesn't push like a single, acts like a double - except one unit and adjustable.

Fox literally just took motorcycle technology that has been used for years and applied it to trucks

I’m stock and replaced mine with a Fox 2.0 primarily to reduce bump steer. I replaced it on my ‘17, and went ahead and immediately changed it on my ‘19 when I traded.

hello everyone.
I have a 2019 250 4x4 platinum diesel.
the only thing that I dislike about my truck is the bump steer over 65 mph.
if I were to change out the steering stabilizer will that give me warranty issues?
if I went to my ford dealer and asked them to address it what do you think would
be there answer?

It would only ruin the warranty on the stock stabilizer. If you went to the dealer they may replace the stock one for you, I would just buy the fox stabilizer and replace it. I have had mine on for over a year and no issues at all. I have about 23k miles on mine as well.

Yeah, I don't think most dual stabilizers (ones that mount on the axle) will fit on a non-lifted/leveled truck. Not enough clearance between the stabilizer and the steering components.
