Another Newbie Question

I decided to go with a six inch all spring superlift kit. I was wondering what you guys would recommend for a steering stabilizer. Is a single stabilizer enough or should I get a dual inline stabilizer? Also, is heckethorn any good? What brand would you recommend? Now that all the questions are done any advice would be appreciated.

OK I lied I have a couple more questions. I am completely new to diesels and hate shops and stealerships. So here's some more questions. I have 80,000 on my 250 4x4. I will putting on a lift kit soon and was wondering if ther was a way to grease the front wheel bearings, hubs and all that other good stuff while I got everything apart? If so could someone clue me in on how to do it properly.

Thanks

When we build the FX6 the dual stabilzer makes a big difference with 35's or bigger. They are cheap anyhow and easy to install. 2 shocks and some brackets for about $200 and look great. As for brand, most of them are just packaging the same shocks from maybe three suppliers, go with the one that looks best. If you go with painted tubes, go to a tint shop, they have the clear 3M stone guard stuff, for $25 bucks get them to cut "wraps" and cover the shock tubes to protect from stone chips and rusting.
