What size tire? Most setups don't actually need a stabilizer

 

285/75r18 on +1 rims. Did a 450km round trip today and steering was smooth as butter. Not having the resistance there from the dual unit is night and day different.

 

They not there to help your road driving it’s there for off road or on road when your tire hits the curb or rock. And it will rotate it hard. Rip the wheel out of hand and cause a roll over. Thats what it’s on there for. Fine to drive around some without it but id run one.

 

Yeah that makes sense. I don't go off roading and I don't have any issues with death wobble or anything like that and considering I can't use a stock upper unit I'll just go without for now.

Will make sure not to hit any curbs or boulders lol 😉

 

I've been running without one for some time, depending on the pothole it'll catch your attention if you're not holding onto the wheel fully

 

Ha ha ha my city is the worst in all of Canada for potholes and sh!t roads and I've hit some big sumb!tchs already lol and gone 120kph over big rippled roads and steering wheel barely moved and figure it's due to the beefier 6.7 steering box and brand new front suspension still being tight.

I thought the steering damper was a must and now I find out I wasted $350 on the dual Rancho unit and damn near $600 on the dual Bilstein unit lol 🙄

My 6.7 steering box is from a wrecker and works great and could only imagine how a brand new one would perform 😁

 

I’m my last truck an 06 on 37s i hit a rock sticking out of a trail like 30 mph. It barely caught the side of tire but even with two shocks on linkage it ripped wheel out of my hands so hard it couod of caused injury. Whole truck bounced off it. Sheered the gears in The steering box and that was all she wrote for that trip. Guess in that situation even the shocks didn’t stop it from slamming to full lock

 

I might weld on a new mounting bracket sometime soon here and see how the gas Bilstein damper feels with the 6.7 steering box and a bonus for having an upper unit in place would be to keep my drag link fixed. With no damper locked in it's able to rotate front to back slightly and that irks me lol.

Hey, you ever head of a ball joint failing on a drag link before.......like while at speeds?

 

Never seen that but that would be a terrible scenario.

 

Indeed! 🫨

 

I've got an old bracket for putting aftermarket in the stock spot if you want it. Pretty sure my son ran off with it though lol

 

That's very kind of you, but I'm just going to use a piece of 3'8 thick steel measured to length and drill holes in either end and bolt er up with thread locker. Easy enough mod for a welder/fabricator 😉

 

My 03 CCSB did not have one. I added one a few weeks ago. I do notice a positive difference, but it was nothing earth shattering. It was just an inexpensive one from Rockauto. Did not want to pay much if it did nothing.
