F150 dampeners

Frame dampers assembly who has them on their truck? The dampers or dampeners reduce shaking of bed and tire nibble according to the TSB. They are located on the body mounts and even on the rear of the driver side leaf spring. I would like to know if they really make a difference in the ride quality of the truck.

07 FX4 Scab 6.5 foot bed 145" WB .... Mine rides great and it's got that big hunk of steel or iron secured to the top of the left frame rail below the bed floor at the extreme left rear, almost out of sight. It's mounted with bolts through rubber bshed mounts that allow some shake.

Holding camera up near bed floor pointed in towards frame above left rear spring shackle mount to front.

Looking up at rear just behing left rear spring shackle:



There was another thread last year about it, seem there was part numbers and prices there too. I just had the pictures left in storage where I took for the OP there.

New shocks made a huge difference on my 2006.
