steering stabilizers

i have a 88 f250 with 7 inches of lift and 35 right now but am thinking about putting 38 tsl and am wondering if dual stabilizers with make my ttb front end not as lose and if it will make it easier to turn if this is going to help where can i get this kind of setup and is it hard to install

Before you mount any sort of steering stabilizer, double check your whole suspension/steering system. They can mask pre-existing problems. I mounted a single on my ttb, and it tightened it up fine. Are the F250 TTB the same as in the half ton version? If so, thats a whole lot of tire to be using on that axle (i.e. probably wont hold up). It will not help you turn, but it will stop wheel wandering, as well as 'bump steer'. With a tire that large, you might want to look into swapping in a heavier dutier PS setup.

SOrta hijacking this thread...

If you have a non-PS truck, will a stabilizer make it harder to make a turn?

Not that I know of. It merely absorbs sudden impacts. You might get a little less responsive feeling, as well as a bit more drag on a non ps truck, but I cant say for certain.
