Bilstein Steering Stabilizer

I was looking at getting a new steering stabilizer for my F350 and was interested in the Bilstein. One question is will a gas charged stabilizer be a good thing for a single use unit?

Thanks

If you want the Bilstein brand, then you will need to get a dual steering stabilizer. Bilstein doesn't make a single stabilizer for the reason that you stated.

I just called Jackit .com and the guy stated that Bilstein has made a damper to go into the stock located and to be used as single. Also on Bilsteins wesite it does come up having one. I know its not the greatest idea for a single gas stabalizer. Very confusing.

I did not get the number yet but I should be getting my conformation email anyday. According to Bilstein there are two part numbers(F4-BE5-F884-H0) and
(F4-BE3-F893-H0). The first one is 46mm then 36mm.

If anyone gets one of these, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on how well it works.

I cant seem to find them either for the 05-07 trucks. I wonder how different the 04 is to the 05. Here is a very short video I found of the stabalizer.

I don't think that Bilstein has developed a steering stabilizer for the GEN2 and GEN3 4X4 Super Duties. However, F4-BE3-F893-H0 will work on any 1999-2010 4X2 Super Duty.
