Steering Stabilizer bent

I have a F250 w/V10 and 6 inch lift. My steering stabilizer bent when I went off-roading. Does anybody know why this happen. I did drive it hard thru rocks and sand.

bent

You probably whacked something and didn't realize it. I did that on my '00 SD. Never even knew I hit anything, just happened to notice the bent stabilizer one day. Only reason I knew I hit something was the "obvious" mark it left on the casing of the stabilizer.

i bent mine on my 1995 f350 when on some sand dunes, i got air in the front and the suspension bottomed out and slammed my stabilizer, just bent it though, it worked fine anyways.

you probably just hit something and not realized it.

Yeah I remember getting a lot air in the front of the truck going over sand and rocks. I run 35 inch BFG that are almost worn out. I took of the stabilizer off and its' able to make sharper turns. Will i have problems leaving the stabilizer off. I know when i get my 38 in swampers i will have to put a steering stabilizer.
