Lots of kits hang down where the stock one is mounted... if you use your truck off road at all it will get hit eventually. I've bent a couple of them... I do know that rough country makes one that appears to sit a little higher due to the use of aftermarket brackets.

Thats all I can help ya with there.... sorry

I was leaning towards this one 99-04 Ford Super Duty F250/F350 Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit with Bilstein Cylinders - Top Gun Customz and it uses the 5100 shocks little pricey though.

It looks like those brackets might mount it up a bit higher as well.. Nice looking kit... I'd look into that a bit further. The price isn't all that bad actually !

I was looking at this one first Rough Country Ford Super Duty Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit 99-07 4WD - AutoTruckToys.com but seems to cheap. looks like it mounts up fairly high.

Ive used the beefed up single damper from Fabtech and the opposing style from skyjacker. The single really is plenty for function but the opposing looks cooler. Ironically they both only really last for about 25-30K. Which is annoying but cant speak for the bilstiens probably last longer. Makes your steering a little stiffer on the opposing style.

You might want to get this kit and run those stabilizers for a while and then you'll have the good brackets... when they wear out you can replace with some bilsteins if you care to do so...

Duals are nice, but like Russ said, they get hurt. I know Rubicon Express relocates them above the axle with there lift kit, but I don't know if you can buy it separately. I really need to go over to there shop and see if I can find out cause I've been wanting to do that for awhile.
