Help with steering stabilizer

Hi guys I bought the fox 985-24-002 steering stabilizer. I thought that was a direct replacement for the stock one but it seems to have eyelets on both sides and no hardware came with it. Am I missing the bolt to bolt it on or did i just buy the wrong one?

What you ordered was a shock not a steering stabilizer according to Fox’s website. I ordered part number 985-02-132.

The correct part number is 985-24-001 and that includes all hardware.

That model number according to Fox’s website is for a 2016 and earlier. The OP has a 2019. He needs the same one I posted above.

No. The 985-24-001 is a direct fit for 2017-2019 trucks. It's exactly what I have on my 2018:

The one you ordered is a step up, also a different style of stabilizer with an eye on one end, clamp on the other.

I agree but when I go to Fox’s website and filter in 2019 F350 and stabilizers there are only the 2 I posted in the pic above.

I see, FOX and other sources list it(985-24-001)for 08-16 Super Duty. That is strange, considering its used by many with 17-19.
