I don't know if there is one. I was in San Diego last year and inquired directly to the Bilstein office there. They said (at that time) there was no Bilstein steering stabilizer for my '00 F250.
Talk to them directly.

Well, how do you tell that the stock one is bad? It seems to have some fluid around the seal which I cleaned off but still reappears. I am thinking it is bad and want to change it and since I have bilstein shocks, thought it would be matching and nice but Rancho might work as well

The stock steering damper works fine.
That is, unless you expect it to damp steering oscillations. Oh, and when it starts leaking, it damps even less.
My truck had 89k on it when I bought it. The shocks didn't leak, but they let the truck go bouncy-bouncy down the road. The steering damper didn't leak, but the steering wheel was pretty wiggly over rough ground.
Replaced the shocks with Bilsteins and the damper with a Rancho Suspension unit. I'd like more suspension damping, but at least bouncy-bouncy has been tamed. And the steering wheel no longer wiggles, even though I replaced the stock tires with 285/75s.
