Steering Stabilizer ?
I have a 2003 F250 4X4 that doesn't have a steering stabilizer , a buddy of mine gave me all the factory hardware so I could add one to mine. Is it worth the 30 bucks for the new Stabilizer or will I be able to tell any difference? The truck seems to drive fine with out one.

It helps with bumpsteer if you are runing over sized tires. On stock tires, it will help with potholes and such. I have one on my truck and its 2x4 dually

You won't realize what you're missing until you bolt it on...

Or, you drive on absolutely smooth roads and never hit a bump

Are you going to use a stock unit, or aftermarket ?

I added one on my 03 F250 4x4 and it made a big difference in the steering of my truck. Much better! It feels tighter than it did before adding it.
