Rough Country N3 Dual Steering Stabilizer for 05-24 Ford Super Duty - 8749130

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.

Took all of 7 minutes to install all parts came pretty self explanatory. Easy install. Works great can feel a huge difference right off the bat. Budget friendly will see how long shocks last

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!

Works amazing easy to install

I have been having issues with steering wheel vibration since I installed 35x12.5 tires on my 2017 F250. This system definitely helps. I still get a very small vibration on some road surfaces but that’s probably to be expected. I used another review for installing it above the drag link with the Ubolts facing up. This was a big help! For some reason it sounds like I have metal hitting metal when I hit portholes traveling at or above 35 mph. But there is no indication of that on the stabilizer or the truck. I posted a question asking if anyone has that issue but unfortunately the system doesn’t allow enough words for me to give a good description of what I am seeing and hearing. If anyone sees this review and has theirs mounted above the drag link I would appreciate a reply to my question. I do have a leveling kit on the front so my truck does ride a bit higher. Update. I am returning it. The center bracket is hitting the drag link. It’s not hitting unless I hit a pothole but I can’t live with that. I had a ASE technician look at and he concluded that the bracket is to close to the center link. I have a 2.5” front lift which raised my truck about 3 inches.

This kit arrived on time and contents matched the parts list! Real Plus today. Removal of previous stabilizer and install of this kit took about 90 minutes. I can suggest having on-hand blue thread locker, marine grease. and a selection of 1/2" lock and flat washers. I purchased this RC Stabilizer to replace my previous aftermarket stabilizer when I had a front end collision a few months back. After correcting the front end movement - "Death Wobble", I installed the RC Stabilizer kit. Instructions were fine for me as I always install things after I read over the instructions a few times. I checked the stroke of the shocks 9 to 10 inches, eyelet to eyelet center and measuring from the center stabilizer mounts puts the mounting bracket on the outer tie rods. I put some grease on all the rubber parts and used blue thread locker on every bolt. I will add to install the shocks perpendicular with the inner tie rod. I installed the outer tie rod brackets down so the U bolts are above the bracket. If you don't go off road much it doesn't matter - if you do... put the brackets on the bottom. I've hit tree stumps/rocks. Make sure you recheck all the nuts and bolts after driving a few days!! I will say in my experience - if you have death wobble and never had it before... SOMETHING is wrong with your front end. I replaced tie rod ends (outer and center bar), Pitman arm, Quadruple check upper and lower ball joints, wheel bearings, 4 wheel alignment, and check the Ujoints (up, down, left and right) on each side of the front axle. You will manually have to spin the hub while someone else steers both directions. If you disconnect your stabilizer - point your wheels straight in front (12 o'clock) and have someone quickly move the wheel from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (engine running) and get a real bright flashlight and look for any play or unnatural movement. Simulates your death wobble.

2015 f250 4x4 simple bolt on

Do not waste your money buy the bds kit for these trucks and this really disappoints me because I’ve always bought and talked good about Rough Country parts but the instructions are not clear on what hardware goes where and the hardware is very cheap I was going by the torque instructions on the directions and broke 3 lock washers. If you do go by the torque directions it squeezes the bushings out the stabilizers and some hardware was not included long story short do not buy it !!! This is a real review

Good qaulity parts and very easy install, would definetly recommend buying, installed it on 2015 Ford f350, firms up the steering and makes it very stable even with bigger tires

Tal cual especifica. Funciona

Me elimino mucho la vibración del volante

I was having horrible bump steer having oversized tires on my truck and relying only on the factory stabilizer. Truck would wonder badly on the freeway to the point that I wouldn’t let my wife drive it lol haha (probably still won’t ) . Definitely recommend this for correcting unstable steering issues. Instructions were less than helpful but being a red seal tech I’ve installed these countless times on multiple vehicles. Price for product is very reasonable considering how well it works .

This cured the death wobble on my 2005 f350 with a 6" lift. The steering wheel is a little heavier feeling, but fine. Was easy to install and seems to be decent quality.
