I was thinking about going that same route with an aftermarket single. But my truck is one of the unfortunate ones that actually had death wobble (I hate that term) and is completely stock right down to the original tires at the time DW occurred. Didn’t want to deal with it again so went the dual route. Also feel like the drag link and maybe the track bar received undue wear and tear for the few thousand miles the truck was wobbling so working on a slow plan to replace them too. They both feel like they have too much movement in the joints/bushings to me. The tie rod ends feel nice and tight though so not going to mess with them...... yet!

I ordered from 4wheelparts Friday Aug 7. I dont think it was in stock but finally shipped on the 12th. It is scheduled to be here this Friday the 21st.
So its about a 2 week process for me ...... just FYI

I put a Rancho single stabilizer on my truck, the torque on the taper bolt was different than stock. I’m thinking 45 lbs but not 100% sure. Had the first one snap off trying to reach that number, the steel was defiantly softer than the stock. The replacement one I just tightened down till the taper was fully engaged.

Installed Bilstein SS yesterday on my 19 250. I was surprised that it made such a difference. Steering has settled and drives like it should. I never had DW but did have some bump steer. The stock SS appeared to be good, but wasn't doing a good job. I'll be installing a Bilstein 5100 at each corner soon.

Before you put this in did you notice if it extends by itself if sitting with no pressure on it?

I actually got my mechanic to install it so I don’t know. Drives a lot better. Didn’t have the death wobble just some bump steer.
