steering stabilizer
here is the deal, my truck doesnt have these but i was wondering if they would help a problem i have noticed with my truck. when i am driving(very noticeable the higher the speed)and i hit a pot hole or a rough spot in the road(yea, missouri's dept of transportation is a waste of our tax dollars!
)the truck really steers off to one side er the other. i was just wondering if this is cus i dont have the steering stabilizer? and would an after market set up do any good to help this prob. thanks.

Nathan!
I would say yes ,it would help
I have the one from the factory!Mine doesn't dart or bounce after hitting large bumps.crowned roads tend to make it want to wander alittle though!
I live here in NY.
I would say our roads are as bad or worse than where you are

Any kit from rancho, fabtech or skyjacker are good quality.
A single stabilizer should be sufficent, a double stabilizer is over kill and I have noticed that with the double, the steering wheel doesn't return to center as fast as a single. This is based on street driving and not hardcore off roading.

thanks fer the heads up yeti! i dont do any off roading(to nice of a truck!)to need a double stabilizer. and indeed i do have the firestone steeltex tires which will be replaced with some bfg at km's as soon as the firestones are wore out! i have never heard a bad thing about those tires and i like the way they wear. im gonna look into the steering stabilizers tomarrow to see what i can find.
