Yes, stock or lifted trucks for the Kelderman. I will say the truck does feel tighter with less shimmy since install.

Thanks!
I have a 2020 Tremor and the stock stabilizer is just like all the other trucks. Basically a piece of crap. You can ditch the stock one or run it. I left mine on for a week and removed the following weekend. Felt no difference either way. Your choice.

I have recently installed the Kelderman brackets and Fox 2.0 shocks and there is a stark improvement in the trucks feel and ride. The instructions kinda suk but nothing that you cant get figured out in a few minutes.
I also installed the Kelderman dual steering stabililzer on my 20 Tremor. I will admit the instructions are not the best but I felt it was a pretty straight forward install once you laid everything out and looked at the pictures. They could have done a better job on explaining the outer ends of the install.

This time I went PMF, even a better quality install, Price is right, I'll never get death wobble on my 2018 as long as I keep fresh stabilizer shocks on it. And once you start getting death wobble it stretches and wears the crap out of everything super fast.
I also went with the PMF w/Bilsteins, within months of taking delivery of my '19 F250. Solved my Bump Steer issue. Found PMF priced fair, well made and simple install.

just make sure you double check the shocks you get.

out of 3 purchases...the onetime I did get the complete package. The wrong shocks were sent. Wound up cracking the center bracket due to shock length being too short.

the other two purchases were no problem.

My Kelderman bracket and Fox shocks came in today. I do not even see directions in the box or even a break down of the included parts. Everything was nicely stabilized in foam, but I am afraid to throw the foam away for fear there is a bracket or two still in there.

I am glad a wealth of information has been posted on installing this set up....

Hmm, I ordered mine about a month ago and have not heard a word after receiving the order confirmation. I guess its time to call especially when I have already been charged for my order. I ordered the bracket in Matte Black with the Fox stabilizers.

I ordered the matte black bracket on 7/14 and it was delivered today. I didn’t order any shocks from Kelderman.

when I ordered mine in matte black last year it took several weeks as well. Gloss and red seem to ship in a week or two but matte seems to take much longer.

My Kelderman came in today and I got it put on this afternoon. This thing is great! My steering wheel shimmy is completely gone. Very happy with the results.

As mentioned, the directions are lacking a bit. There’s no mention of the included spacer for the diff cover but there’s no way mine would have gone on without it so I’m glad it was in the box! Everything went together pretty easy once I got all the hardware sorted out. The shocks are tough to compress while under the truck. They were each about a half inch too long for the bolt to pop in so I just pulled on one side of the band, kind of like picking up a bale of hay, and that compressed the shock enough for the bolt to fall right in.

Got a 1600 mile trailer pull in a couple weeks so we’ll see how she does. Anybody have any guesses as to how much life we can expect out of the Fox 2.0’s?

Glad that you received yours. Which stabilizers did you order with the bracket?

I received a response from my inquiry on Wednesday saying that it would ship on Thursday. Still no shipment confirmation and my account shows it still in processing. It's the luck that I have with everything. Post some pics of your install.

A bit off topic is there much of a benefit in replacing the factory stabilizer with a Bilstein 5100? The truck is all stock tires and all.
