Matching Bilstein steering stabilizer?

Anybody seen a replacement steering stabilizer for 05-07 4x4 trucks that matches the stainless finish on the higher end Bilstein, Icon or Superlift shocks?
Thanks

I did spec one out, it took a lot of effort. I found the stock replacement in the rancho catalog, then I cross referenced those specs through the bilstien catalog and finally found one that matched.

I don't know if the same one will work for your application though, so you might want to do the same set of research.

If you are willing to go dual you can get a either the zinc Bilsteins or the Icons.

They are nitrogen charged, which is why they need to ran as duals.

Here's my Icon Dual setup on my 07 with Icon stabilizers:

Will they wear out my suspension faster due to increased steering effort? I just have the factory 20's.

You won't have any increased steering effort. And as long as you throw your factory stabilizer in the trash, you will have much better return to center with them on.
