Talking I need to replace my steering stabliser

I need to compliment my shock with an upgraded steering stabliser. I replaced my wheels with Toyo's AT's (upped one size). I replaced my shocks with Bilsteins. Now that I have my stuck the way I like it to look and feel, I think it's time to upgrade my stabliser. What is everyone using? I would like to replace them with duals. I think it gives the truck a balanced look to it and besides, it should handle the bot whols a bit better. Any suggestion to brand ans place of purchase. I live in southern Ontario so I am limited to online purchases. We don't have many retail places that supply custom truck parts. Thanks

I just put an Icon dual steering stabilizer on the kids 06 F350 from trucktoyzperformance.com There are cheaper ones out there, but I'm kind of fond of her.

She's running 13.5" wide Mickey Thompsons on her truck, and it would wander all over the road. The Icons got it driving right again. They also offer a BDS kit which is less expensive, but the Icon kit comes with stamped brackets instead of u-bolts which looks better. Send a PM to Dan (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/member.php?u=69368) with any questions.

I bought a dual setup from Skyjacker on Ebay for about $100, works a whole lot better than the stock unit with my 38.5" tires!

So what are the main problems when the stabilizer goes bad. Does the truck wonder all over the road or does it vibrate. just trying to learn a bit. Thanks

In my case I have a bit of a wiggle in my steering wheel on high highway speed, and some whenever I drive over a pot whole.

Icon Dual Stabs

I got Dual Stabs with the Icon setup. It is a kinda pricey, but you will not regret it. Plus, it is helpful to direct the 7,000+ behemoth
