High clearance steering stabilizer???
It is time for me to replace the factory steering stabilizer. It has over 150,000 miles on it. The real reason I need it is because I hit a rock or something and damaged it.
I would like to get a dual set up. I am looking for something that will mount higher than the stock stabilizer.

I have the Donahoe Racing dual steering stabilizer kit on my truck. This is the same design as Icon. It's much better than stock. Actually, any aftermarket kits will be an improvement than the stock.

I haven't bounced around off-road with them yet so I can only tell you about on poor, N.Y. State highways.
As you can see, height/clearance is not a problem. They're higher than the tie rods.
Hope this helps,
Later...

The Icon setup is very nice, their nitrogen charged shocks work much better than hydraulic shocks.
I run Icon stabilizers on my 01 and their complete kit on my 07.
Keep in mind, any kits pictured on 05+ trucks are different than 99-04 kits.

You can add the stabilizer shocks by clicking the Configure button.

Keep in mind Citypol86's truck is a 05.
The 99-04 Skyjacker kit hangs below the tie rod.

Just put Skyjacker 7254 duals on and I like 'em. They eliminated the slight shimmy that was present with the stock single. Also, the stock single was in relatively good shape when I took it off. The duals made a difference even over a stock single in good shape.

I would think that the skyjacker 7254 would fit an 03, what is different about the 05 and up verses the 99-04?

The 05+ won't fit on a 99-04 with the stock steering.
