Best steering stabilizer?

I have a 2020 F-350 and want to get a steering stabilizer, I am trying to decide between the fox dual stabilizers or the fox ATS stabilizer, I am going to be installing a 4” radius arm lift with 37” tires. Thanks for the help!!

Check out the PMF Dual, choice of shock brands and a good value, very heavy duty, IMO. I opted for the Bilstein's and was very impressed with difference it made. Love my '19 F250 XLT.

Factory stabilizer

Why do you need to replace the factory stabilizer? From what I understand the 2020 stabilizers are very good

Go with what the lift manufacturer recommends.

Because it wasn't designed to handle a 4" lift and 37's. Also, the OP probably wants a better looking setup as well since it will be more visible. Just a WAG...

I am going with BDS who is owned by Fox so they say both are great

100% correct, the factory stabilizer is for factory wheels, 37's are way more then what the stock stabilizer is meant for

The stock stabilizer can't even handle stock wheels. Was going to replace mine with the Fox ATS but now am waiting for the Kelderman dual to arrive. I refuse to use u bolts for mounting so the options were slim.

The ATS is a great piece of equipment, but the mounting location on the drag link is a poor choice. If you run it on the lower setting all is well, but if you need to tighten it up at all you get a good amount of steering wheel feedback as the suspension cycles. I wanted to like it as I didn’t wan duals visible...but ultimately I decided to go with PMF duals and am happier. That being said I’m very OCD and sold the ATS to a friend who thinks it’s great. Food for thought.

I tried the Fox ATS on my stock 2017, it did not work good at all, I now have the Kelderman with dual Fox and it is a night and day difference.

Two years ago here all of the threads on duals versus singles seemed to say the single mounting location was more effective and a good single would do a better job than duals.


These days the crowd is saying the opposite.

which is it? Are duals in a better location and more effective than a single? Or does a single do better than duals if it’s a good one in the right spot?

I have the single Fox on mine. It works great for me...a huge night-and-day difference between it and the stock unit that was trashed at 10k miles. I have a stock suspension with 34" Toyo's

I am running the single fox in the stock location for my level + 35's. night and day difference over stock and was a simple and cost-effective option.
