Steering Stabilizer?
Hey everyone, I don't no what I am talking about so maybe someone can help me. On lifted 4x4s I see some trucks with a shock going horizontally infront of the front axle. Is this a Steering Stabilizer? I have an 86 F150 4x4 and I am about to put lifting Coil Springs in the front as well as Heavy Duty shocks. The truck steers funny so would this help? Thanks Guys.

Yes they are steering stabalizers they do work to a certain degree. I had them an my 72 with 40's the only problem I ran into is the steering was a little stiffer than it was before but that is because it is shock controlled and helps dampen the steering. Also once on a trail I blew the shock (crushed it on a submerged stump) and I had to use my shoulder to turn it was so hard so I hack-sawed it of and left it of till I sold it.

Thanks. Would this work for a really loose steering 86 F150 4x4 with 31's or would I be wasting my time and money? How exactly does it go on?
