Stabilizer Package

I have an 08 F-250 V-10 Lariat with the stabilizer package on order. I am wondering if anyone knows if the stabilezer package will affect the ride? I appreciate any input.

If you are talking about steering damper, then NO that will not effect the ride.

The stabilizer package on the previous trucks included the front and rear sway bars. No it won't affect the ride.

Tow an enclosed trailer in a cross wind and you will should be glad you have them. No ride difference, just better control of your truck and trailer. No trucks should be without them.

I drove an 08 F-250 deisel with the stabilizer package-heavy service front springs & rear stabilizer bar- and couldn't tell any difference in the ride. What I am wondering is how the stabilizer package will affect the ride with the lighter V-10 truck.

Does anyone make a steering stabilizer for the '08 yet, or is is the same as previous years?
