I am planning on starting to replace some worn-out pieces on my truck in the near future, and along with shocks, I'm sure the steering stabilizer is shot. My question is, after DM's recent experience with a dual steering stabilizer setup, would I be better off just to go with a high quality single? I'm going to go with the bilstein shocks, and was thinking maybe just put one of their stabilizer's on as well. Tires are 33/12.50/16, been told that can make a difference. Any opinions appreciated.

 

I had my truck checked for any loose ball joints and align properly. I'm currently running 305/70/16 which is equal to 33/12/16 and I don't have any problem with death wobble. I hit above the speed limit 1**mph regularly. The steering stabilizer is stock but I installed a steering brace. my .02 cents

 

Do you mean the brace that ataches to the steering box, and goes between the frame rails? If so, that is also something that I plan on doing. It's just that I have heard that the dual stabilizer setups make a big difference on these trucks, but after what DM just went through with his kit, it makes me wonder a little bit if I need duals At this point I'm leaning more towards just geting a good single but wanted to hear other opinions, Thanks

Anybody else?

 

If your entire steering system and all front suspension linkages are in correct working order, you don't need any stabilizer. So start replacing parts if you're having problems.

 

I know it may not be needed, but it's supposed to have one, so I figure when I replace the shocks, it'd be a good time to get a new one on there, as I'm sure the factory stuff is worn out after 10+yrs and 136k miles! And I do plan on going through a little more in depth piece by piece, the axle portion is all fresh, u-joint, wheel bearings, and ball joints, and all the tie-rod ends still feel good.
