Best steering stabilizer ?

I'm looking at these two. Which one is better? Looks like the Kelderman has better brackets. Also Fox shocks vs Bilstein

I don't have one yet, but take a look at the Stryker design as well. From a strength point of view, it seems the strongest.

THe Stryker kit does look strong. The kelderman bolts on the outer brackets vs the clamp on.

I went directly through KING Suspension and I believe it was $180, best upgrade for the money in my opinion. I did purchase a longer bolt as I wanted more thread exposed than the one it came with as the photo shows the supplied mounting bolt.

Does it just install in the oem location? What tire size are you running.

Depends on what you need it for and how much you want to spend. For the majority of trucks I have seen with high-end kits, the only time they go "off-road" is if they accidently drive over their grass on the way out of their driveway... Here is a quick comparison of the two major brands.

Fox Vs. King
I would say a fox 2 is more than adequate for a SS for most folks.

Rancho, 20 years of buying them, selling them, installing them on bone stock to RADICALlY modified rigs, never had a come back, never had an issue, they make 2 for the Superduty, one based upon the RS 5000 series and the other on the RS 7000 series, they also make a dual shock setup. About $68 / $85

Kool factor $0.00

Work Factor Priceless



New Rancho 5415 SS installed, time approx 15 min

So would installing this help with the stopping of the death wobble? Or as an added prevent to the possible oncoming off the wobble? Thanks.

Personally and I think some will agree, the stabilizer is just that.. stabilizing the wobble... There are underlying issues that are causing it, and the steering stabilizer/dampener is doing its job. Stabilizing/dampening.

So all in all, no that wont F I X the problem, but mask it and help it. Until the stabilizer wears out.
