Steering Stabilizers

I have installed an aftermarket dual steering stabilizer on my 06 F-350.The instructions said to remove the factory stabilizer but I left it on.I took the rig out for a drive with both the factory and the dual stabilizers on and the truck tracks great.I have not noticed any difference in the amount of force needed to turn the wheels.My question is, what are the pros or cons if any by leaving the three stabilizers on.

I too have dual ss on. I experienced super scary death wobble after getting a 3 inch lift installed due to the change in caster. It was so bad I was going to take the lift out before i drove it again. I installed the dual ss and the death wobble totally dissapeared. I dont see any cons in having a dual ss.

I had 3 stabilizers on mine but I found out after awhile that when the suspension would compress, the mounting bolt from the stock stabilizer would hit the drivers side dual stabilizer.
So I finally removed the stabilizer that was in the stock position and found that the duals do just as good as a job as all 3 did.

If yours does not hit, and you can turn the wheels easy then there is nothing wrong with leaving all 3 on.

Here is the kit that I use and it works great!!! http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...con/66250.html
