Steering Stabilizers
I'd like to get opinions or suggestions on possibly adding a steering stabilizer. Truck is a new 22 F-250 Lariat. I'm getting a small level (2") and adding Bilsteins and 295/65/20 Nittos's next week but wanted to hear some real feedback on adding a stabilizer.. Thinking about the FOX 2.0
Thanks

I had a PMF dual setup on my '17 F250 and I just ordered the same for my '22 F450 with Fox dampeners. Great product. Just don't put one back in the stock location and expect any improvement. I also have 5100's to put on this weekend.

I've seen many folks on this board install an aftermarket stabilizer in the stock location with good success. Whether it's Bilstein, Rancho, Fox, King, etc., they all seem to perform better than OE.

I have the PMF dual Fox stabilizer on my 2021. It is great! It does dampen the steering a lot so slow maneuvers in parking lots and the self centering at slow speeds requires a little push of the wheel to get it going.

I thought I read that 22's have new and improved stabilizers, which also make the steering stiffer.

Dual Steering Stabilizer question - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)
Read post 2 in this thread. This makes perfect sense and it was backed up by research that I did. When I installed a stiffer Fox ATS in the factory location, I would get steering wheel oscillation every time my suspension cycled up and down. I took that crap off and went with a PMF dual set up in the proper location and it was a huge improvement.

I would stick with the Bilstein stabilizer for your truck.
I had the fox 2.0 and it didnt last a year before problems showed up.
I have the bilsteins at all 4 corners as well as the stabilizer and I couldnt he happier.
