Rough Country 8749130 Steering Stabilizer

If you're looking for a value priced item to stabilize steering on a lifted truck, this is it. Rough Country has a good reputation for putting out quality products. Never had anything like the Fox or higher end brands, maybe they're smoother, but this one makes mine nice and tight. Backstory: I purchased a 2019 Ford F250 Limited from a dealer who had it lifted and larger tires/wheels put on. Drives decent, looks great but certainly a little loose in the steering and drifts on occasion which makes it hard for anyone else to feel comfortable driving. Literally, after putting this on, it tightened things up and certainly felt more firm on turning and more stable driving down the road in general. For $130 bucks and an hour of your time, this deal can't be beat. If it only lasts 5 years its still a heck of a deal. UPDATE: first day driving it after installing, taking my 14 year old daughter to school and she mentioned a more stable ride and less steering wheel shake, mind you she’s not a truck guru nor was she aware of what I installed. Installation tips: As another reviewer posted, the tie rod brackets that go on your existing tie rods (I left my stock stabilizer bar on) should go on TOP of the tie rods (U bolts from the bottom and bolts thread on from top) and the stabilizer cylinder should bolt on to the top of those brackets as well, once installed the cylinders should be parallel with the ground, not at an angle. I placed the tie rod bracket on the outside of the drag link collar but the first U bolt is as close to the collar as I could get it and I don't feel any lack of turning radius. Like others have said, loctite would be beneficial, if not def check for snugness of bolts after driving it for 5-10 miles, then again in 500 miles. The bolts and washers could be a bit higher quality, but don't seem to be garbage. The larger U bolt that connects the stabilizer bracket to the front differential is designed to be used once it seems, the nuts are stamped on the top so that created a nearly cross thread situation when tightening them, it seems as though this is to keep them from backing off maybe, some have said the paint could be the culprit here too. Overall, a really good product out of the box, planning to update this review after driving it for a bit, so far I would definitely recommend it based on ease of install and price point.

Very impressed with this product. Good quality and easy to install 👌.

Tal cual especifica. Funciona

Well made kit. It took about an hour and a half to install, because I had to take an old, worn out, kit off first. I replaced the whole thing since buying new shocks for my old one cost more than the whole original kit. Directions are pretty simple, pictures are hard to see though because they are small. The kit is made with 3/8 inch steel, well built and the welds look good. I like that it bolts to the differential cover and not just two u-bolts like my last kit of a different brand. The shocks are large bore, making turning the wheels when not moving easier than some smaller shock kits. My truck in an 05 F350 diesel crew cab 4x with 8 foot bed, a 2 inch leveling kit in the front, and 35 tires with wider rims. This kit took the bump steer completely away and turning while driving is smoother and easy, even when turning to the stops. I tow a 4 seat RZR a lot, and even though its not real heavy, the weight on the hitch made the bump steer horrible, so I assume heavier weights would show a great increase in performance. I opted to get the RC shock boots as well to help protect the shafts from gravel and winter salts. For the price, you can't go wrong!

Was able to adapt to a dodge 60 by flipping it. Works great on and off road.
