Stabilizer Kit - HELP

[Rattler-FX4]

Since my '06 Larait has the Rancho shocks, I was thinking of going with the Rancho stabilizer kit. The dual kit shows being a 2 shock parallel system and I don't want that. So, I was thinking about 2 single kits that way they could run in-line. But, I can't locate the single "kit" part number. Anyone know it?

Also, anyone using the Rancho stabilizers?? What other brands, other than ICON, are being used? Just had our second son so budget is slim right now.

PM trucktoys. They can tell you if they have the part and show you a pic of it installed

I've seen this one on a few truck. Kinda looks like the Rize but alot cheaper. Pretty good price too.

I run an Icon setup on my 07:





Love the setup.
I've ran both nitrogen charged shocks (Icon, Bilstein, etc..) and plain generic white bodied hydraulic shocks and IMO the nitrogen charged shocks perform much better.

We offer a few kits:
BDS Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit - 2005-2008 F250/350 4wd - Steering Stabilizers - Truck Toyz Store
Rize Industries Dual Steering Stabilizer Bracket Kit - 2005-2008 FSD 4wd - Steering Stabilizers - Truck Toyz Store
Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2005-2008 FSD Dual Steering Stabilizer Bracket Kit - Steering Stabilizers - Truck Toyz Store


Icon is the most money, but it's the cleanest looking when installed with the billet clamps that they use on the tie rod.

I recently installed Bilstein shocks and a stabilizer on my 2003 4WD 7.3 (No Lift). The shocks were installed with the body up. The original rancho's were body down. Should I re-install the shocks so they are body down? Hwat is the difference?

Also the stabilizer replacement is a generic white shock. The stabilizer was installed at the same location where the brackets were for the original stabilizer. Are we supposed to move the bracket further out when installing a new stablizer. Do I need to make changes or adjustments. PLEASE HELP.

Bilsteins are nitrogen charged mono tube shocks so their orientation does not effect their operation.
You install them so that the decals on them are facing the right side up....which on 99-04s is body up, boot down.

As for any adjustments for the stabilizer, only if the shock you are using has different dimensions/travel you might need to shift the bracket that's on the tie rod to set it up properly.

Thanks all. Decided to go with the Rough Country dual in-line set direct from Rough Country as it was $116 on sale with shock boots. Should have in a day or so and will post pic's when I have them.

Thats a good choice. Ran them on the chevy and they kept my 44's in check!
