the 5th shock

I was getting ready to put new shocks all the way around on my truck, 97 f150 4x4, and a couple of the packages I was looking at come with steering stabilizers. Some people said the truck had a OEM steering stabilizer, and some said there was no OEM stabilizer. My question is, is there one? My Haynes maunal doesnt say anything about one either.

I think it has the brackets and is an easy bolt up. I was looking into 1 for my truck and all parts houses as well as rock auto told me that I wouldnt need any installation kits or anything. Havent put one on or took it any farther than that though.

You Need A Steering Stabilizer And The Bracket Kit. There Is Not Brackets For Just The Stabilizer. Rancho Makes A Nice Bracket Kit.
