Dual-Steering Stabilizer ..home-made

[BOSS]

For a while now, alot of us have been looking for a dual-stabilizer with not much luck....so since my single seemed a little due for changing the shock out, I used this as an excuse to build my own dual stabilizer with some flat stock metal. It was a good bonding experience with my brother-in-law who's a cool cat, and I learned how to manipulate metal pretty well.

After we got them nice and square and flat, I primed em good and painted them that Eibach red

Nice!

That's a good build, good job.
My model could use one with the 26s and all, but nobody makes even a single for them.

why would you need a double? i had heard even with the single you loose return to center steering??


i thought they were all universal? couldnt you just make your own brackets? seems pretty simple to me to make some brackets up

Hmm, not sure if they are universal but I remember search many times and was only able to turn up some for the pre 07 models.
A double would mean even more steering dampening, and 26" wheels don't balance to well at speeds above 80mpth, they start to cause the steering to shake excessively.

Seemed like a good idea at the time

Seriously, after about 3months with the single, I noticed some of the play coming back so i figured that since lot of lifted truck kits use the dual setup for the big/heavy tires, it would make my truck more stable with the 90lb. wheels.

It is....with the right tools.

I'll report back on how she handles over time...

Bringing this back up to top.

How is the stabilizer working out for you?

 

[Knobz]

Full Throttle Suspension makes a dual steering stabilizer.

Fabtech also makes a single...and it wouldn't be too hard fabricating a dual opposing style setup. I'm looking at doing this with bilsteins for mine.
