Did I miss something here?

No, you did not, but after 5 days and no one answering your tread usually you start talking to yourself. It did happen to me before a couple of times and I did the same thing. Sometimes the questions are a little bit harder to answer even it is not a hard question or maybe there's just a small group of members interested in steering stabilizers.

I have been looking for one of those and I think I will be buying the Heckethorn Extra Heavy Duty Steering Stabilizer from JCWhitney. I have in my hands a 2000 catalog of parts and accesories for pickups # 416-1J-06 with prices guaranteed through august 31, so maybe is still the same price. The price for the stabilizer is $43.95 and comes for the 97-99 F150, F250 2WD and the 4wd (no superduty). I think you have to order separately the colored dust boot (yellow, blue, red or black). Ask them. Their phone # 1-800-865-4227.

If you want information on other brands contact directly manufacturers of suspension products such as Trailmaster, Rancho, Procomp or Superlift.

Hope this helps.

Thanks man! I really needed to get one and I couldn't fin one anywhere. The stearing wheel moves all over when I hit little bumps and I think this might help. It never did it until I got my 35 Mickey Thompson tires. L8r

What MT tires do you have?

 

JMTruck, I decided to go with the Mickey Thompson Baja HP. They are 35 12.50 17. I love them! They aren't noisy, they have a speed rating of 112MPH and they fit on my 17" rim! I have had so many compliment on them. I would highly recomend them. I paid 195 a tire at Discount tire.

I was just curious about that. For some reason I thought about that tires. I just ordered four of those at $198.00 delivered. I live in Puerto Rico and buying those from the US would very expensive shipping. I think you got a great price.

Actually the order is going out next week and the tires will be here around the first or second week of october. I can't wait to fill that empty space created by the body lift.

How do they look on the 7.5" rim? Do you have any pictures? I am ordering at the same time Mickey Thompson's Classic II 17x9 rims. I am just waiting for the release. Those were on hold.

That's mainly the reason I am getting the steering stabilizer, the 35's.

Great looking truck. I can't wait for my tires.

Now, more questions, how do you feel about the American Thunder? Any drone cruising? Can you compare that sound to any other brand? For example there are some sound files of the Gibson Super Truck here in product reviews. Can you make a comparison with that one?

Talk to you later.

Now, that first shot in the series of three shows the real agresive look of the MT's.

I was wondering since you have the 3" body lift, how did you re-route the American Thunder to exit close to the body as in the stock position?, Did a shop made the modifications, if any?

Thank you for all the info.
