Thanks, I'm in no rush, but am interested in buying one for my truck. Can't wait to get a bumper simular to yours too, your truck looks great. I just gotta get through this move before I will allow money spent on upgrades.

Here is a pic, not the best but you should be able to see what it looks like.

Well I could not seem to get it into my signature and I can't post attachments so here is a link to my album with the stabilizer, took it this morning with my cell phone but I think you will be able to see it ok.

I went with a rancho stabilizer from autoanything 2317082 Rancho Steering Stabilizers
Vehicle: 2003 Ford F-250 Fits the 4wd Models with OE Steering Stabilizer $61.95
bought this about a year ago. I had about 60K when I replaced mine and there was a big difference but my original looked like it leaked out.

My truck didn't come factory with a steering stabilizer, I bought a dual steering stabilizer and will install it this weekend. What will I notice once they are installed?

I don't have the dual but I noticed that it won't pull the steering wheel when hitting bumps in the road and the truck tracks straighter.

I noticed that when I hit major bumps driving down the road that the wheels cut hard to the left. I just ordered a dual kit from Rancho. I know on my old X that I didn't notice any problems with the wheels jumping around but with this truck and no stabilizer I notice it alot.

Hmmm...My truck tracks straight now. Do you have a lift and what size tires do you have?

I have no lift, just stock height. I upped the tires to 285s from the stock 265s. It's just when I hit good size pot holes. Normal bumps don't phase it at all.

I just installed the Skyjacker HD replacement Part number SJA-7099 $44
My stock one was leaking oil everywhere.
Even though there was no room for the protective rubber boot on the stock mounts
What a difference it makes. My truck drives like it was new again.
No pulling or bump steering! So smooth i can steer it with my little finger
I just put 285/75/16 tires on the truck and it goes down the road smoother than my Saleen Mustang

Thanks, It's been a hectic couple of weeks and I didn't get a chance to thank you. I think I'll go with that one and replace the stabilizers with Bilstiens when they show signs of wear. Do you have the part number?
