Steering Stabilizer...
Okay, so I have searched the site for information about stabilizers, but I can't seem to find a difinitive answer to the following question...
Should I install a single or dual stabilizer?
I drive a 91 f150 4x4, 6 inch lift, 35 inch tires, dual front shocks
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!!

I only have one stabilizer with the same setup you have and no problems, but if you want to buy two then go for it. If I didnt have to pay shipping and duty on it I would have probably got it too. Work fine with just one though FYI
Hmmmm....Now I really don't know what to do. My tires really get grabbed by pot holes, ruts, bumps, water, etc. and sometimes it jerks or drifts so hard that it really scares me. I'm afraid that I'm going to hit something or somebody. Not to mention, the possibility of wrecking my truck.
Then you have what's called bump steer. The deeper issue is steering geometry or wear up front. Tie rod ends ballpoints could be possible wear items. If its as bad as you say get 2 stabs and look into doing some component replacement up front.
You have a lot of lift (6") with bigger tires (35"). Both of these are hard on components also a dropped pitman arm is needed to account for increased angles.
I have 35 s and 4" lift, I replaced tie rod ends have a drop pit and did a knuckle under mod with puts steering linkage on top of the knuckles. I have no bumpsteer issues at all.

mine had the same issue with bump steer it would hit a dip in the road and jerk all over got some new tires and an alignment and it made a world of a difference doesnt wander anymore and i have a dual steering stabilzer on my 96 150 and the it is designed horribly and when i took it off could hardly tell the difference not worth the money IMO
