Default 2wd steering stabilizer???

I want to get steering stabilizer for my truck but its 2wd, I don't know where to start as far as mounting where to get it (all the kits seem to be 4wd). If anyone can show pictures or explain, and where to buy.

Pretty sure the kit I had on my 2003 FX4 was a Rancho. It mounted using the two bolts for the idler arm and attachesdto the steering bar. Doesn't matter if it's 2WD or 4X4 they all have the same steering so it will bolt right up.

I have one for sale haha.


I replaced my single one for a dual Skyjacker. They both have a large L shaped bracket that bolts onto the front upper control arm bolt.

Is the picture above is what your looking for? It's called STEERING DAMPER. I assume your looking for a Steering Stabilizer for the Rear which don't have a function for 2wd.
