Alot actually. I ran the truck without it for a week until I got it aligned, the truck was hard to keep under control, it swayed pretty easy and the steering felt sloppy.
Me and a buddy put the stabilizers on a few days after the alignment and it tightened up the handling significantly. It was able to keep it between the lines better, less slop, and best of all....no death wobble

You just perfectly described how it feels driving my truck ! ! ! I gotta get one(dual stabilizer) hopefully it will get rid of this vibration, and at minimum make the truck easier to drive. Thanks a lot, got any ideas about my post about the "rain" ?

You can order one from rough country. Make sure to get the dual tho and not the single.
Also I would have the truck aligned before you put it on so everything is straight.

And sorry but I didn't see your post about rain yet

Hey is there anything in addition to a steering stabilizer, that I could add to strengthen my suspension/steering. Also I was reading that lift kits place additional stress on the front end, how can I counter act this ? I've had my truck for a month now, it has what I believe to be a 6" rough country lift kit, 38 super swampers, 302 motor, c6 tranny, 4wd. Thank u
