Thats wierd. I have a 2005, F-250, FX4 and camper package and DO have a steering stabilizer. Ill have to check the sheet, but i may also have heavy service front springs. It doesnt work worth a damn, but its there. You get a lot of steering wheel 'pull' when going into an angled driveway. A rancho one will fix that.

Did you look real well? Its tucked up there pretty good, not visible from the front of truck.

Well to be honest it was a pretty casual look. I will look again tonight. It will be embarrassing if I posted a lie. I will post an update tonight.

Is the stabilizer the horizonal shock?

If so, my 05 F250 SD 4x2 has it with the standard front suspension.

Cool beans 2005V10F250CC,

You wouldnt know you had one from driving it, thats for sure. My old dodge had a rancho one, and you never felt any jerkiness from the wheel. But, im not upgrading a darn thing till its paid off.
