Steering Satbilizer?

I would like to install a steering stabilizer on my 1990 F150. There is no lift in it and I was thinking about the rancho kit. Should I go single or dual. Any feedback or comments would be great thanks.

Welder if you do add a stablizer, please write back about how it went. I've been thinging about doing the same to my 90 4x4. I'm hoping it might help prevent it from wandering when I run the another set of tires in the winter. The current tires are Michelin LT in stock size, and they drive fine. When I put the 31x 10.5 BFG tires on, truck is a little scarey to drive.
Thanks Frank

I will let you know how it gose and the improvement that it makes. What tread pattern are your BFG's? I'm running also running michelin LTX AT's that are 31x10.5 and there not bad, until they fill with snow!

Had to go out and check. The BFG are actually Dayton Timberline 31x 10.5 AT
The Michelins are 2.35 LTX MS. Truck drives very nice with the Michelins, but have not had it in snow with them. The Daytons are good in snow, but truck wanders real bad on any pavement.

That is interesting because my truck seems to handle just fine with the bigger tires, I do have new ball joints in it but the tie rods are original.

I run 32/12.5/15 on my 91 F150 and have a minor problem with wandering. It wasn't bad with BFG Wranglers on it but I noticed its a little worse with the Bridgestones I have now. I have been thinking of getting a stabilizer too.
