No Bilstein Steering Damper?

I want to get those yellow and blue Bilsteins for the truck and they don't even make a friggin' steering damper.

What do you run for a steering damper? Should a truck this size have a dual damper setup?

FWIW, this place: http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm has a 25% off deal on those Bilsteins until the 30th of this month.

This isn't the yellow and blue, but it might help. Someone else did the research I'm just re posting it. Blistein 5100 Steering stabilizer # F4-BE5-A463-H6

These are the shock dimensions you can use to find a 4600 (blue & yellow) steering stabilizer

Travel length of 9 1/4"
Extended length of 24 3/8"
Collapsed length of 15 1/8"

I got the measurement off a stock stabilizer. I used these dimensions to find my 5100 stabilizer.

I'm trying to find the Bilstein chart with all of there shock Dims. when I find it again, I will post it or send it to you in a PM.

I went onto Bilsteins website and looked for a chart like you mentioned, but couldn't find one. They only have application charts w/o any dimensions. Did you happen to find that chart? I finally installed the shocks.
