Pro Comp Stabilizer FAIL

This photo was taken when the stabilizer (and truck) were new.

I'm a crop insurance adjuster and My 6.7 is 17 months old. I put a 4" Rancho lift, 35" Goodrich AT TA/KO tires and a Pro Comp Steering Stabilizer on when truck was 4 days old. I drive 40K miles a year. Well, the stabilizer has failed. I thought it was pretty wimpy looking when I installed it (but I liked the "slim line" look) and now I KNOW it was wimpy.

I spend a lot of time running through wheat fields, corn fields, ditches, pastures and farm roads and I need the stability. The failed stabilizer is so noticeable that I'm having "death wobble" issues.

I'd like your opinion on Steering Stabilizer brands and models that can hold up to the kind of work I do.

Thanks!

I went through the same thing. Pro comp updated their kit. It now mounts in front of the tie rod instead like most kits are designed. I just got my new kit this week and will install this weekend. We'll see how it goes.

Nick.. is your new kit a WHOLE new kit or updated parts?
Thanks!

Whole new kit.

Get you an Icon or King racing stabilizer.

hit top gunz custom and check out all of their options

I run their bilsteins

I have the same kit. Nice kit and fair price.

Thanks! I'll look these up and get something ordered. Appreciate the input.

I notice in your pic that you didn't use the boots ?
not sure if that played into the early demise ?
with what you do you mat consider installing just 1 out of harms way in the OEM spot ?

I have those and I think they are junk. Like mentioned I would hit up truck toyz and see what they got.
I had the death wobble before and it wasn't from the stabilizers

Top Gun Customz with the Bilsteins. Awesome kit.

I got the Icon mount and King dampers from Casey at SoCal Supertrucks. Works pretty nicely.

Well, got up in there and took a real good look around and it looks like my OFE track bar is shot. I ordered an Icon adjustable track bar from 4 Wheel Parts and I'll let y'all know what happens. The ProComp Stabilizer is probably the band-aid that's keeping it all together right now. I'll let you know

Sounds nice. I'm going to take care of the track bar and then go from there. I think the steering stabilizer is not the first problem. Thanks for the input!

Just get a hydro assist kit much more durable and handles alot better than stabilizers

The death wobble is not from the worn stabilzers, I bet the track bar is going to fix it. If not you have other worn parts.

That's what I'll look at after the track bar! Thanks!

P.

I feel like you're right. The truck is too new to really have too many other issues. It's a $300 fairly good shot in the dark. If that's not it, well.. we'll look again

Track bar fixed the death wobble on my 02. Someone at one point in time made one with cheap himes. Replaced it with a Ford part and problem solved.

Sent from my x2 somewhere

Maybe change the thread title???

Rather then Procomp fail, Factory Ford part fail?

Or thread starter fail? Not sure what fits better...
