Dual steering stabilizer 99-04

TheSmokinStroke2002 · Feb 20, 2013

So how worth it is a dual steering stabilizer? I get ALOT of bumpsteer and I feel it would help me but I am not for sure.

Any opinions would help!

As of right now I have the stock setup with a zone shock on it.

What is your trac-bar angle like in comparison to your drag link?

By bumpsteer do you mean from bumps and potholes and such or when going through higher amounts of suspension travel?

With 35s you should need but its worth the few extra buck

i replaced my draglink and got dual steering stabilizers and it solved all the rough jarring pot holes and bumps in the road i was feeling through the steering.

track bar and drag link should be parallel

I run 37's and no stabilizer at all and have no bump steer. Sounds like you have something loose or the angles are all wrong. To much Toe in or out can make the truck wander, So will miss matched track bar and tie rod angle.

I ran 40's and 12" lift with NO STABILIZER at all and NO BUMPSTEER. You don't need them on the older trucks. They are nice to have but for 35's, in my opinion it would be more for looks.

Like NEVRNF says you have some geometry off or something loose.

Might be time to set the axle up on blocks and check everything out. Wiggle everything and steer the truck and watch things move around.
