I got a single rough country, one of the better 50 bucks ever spent on my truck

My Friend is getting a King Steering Stabilizer for his 2500HD Chevy, it costs a lot but that's about as good as it gets.

I'd prolly go King or Fox when the time comes, its only one so the price point is that excruciating.

Dual setups are kinda overkill unless you got ridiculous lift and your rolling on 40" tires with very hard off roading.

Not sure on the part number but I believe they only make one for our trucks

I have a RC on mine and I have 0 play in my sterring wheel and almost no bumpsteer with 10 ply 285s. Made a night and day difference on my truck. Rides on rails now.

I've had lifted trucks before(all f150's) and never had this much wheel play or bump steer, i've replaced every steering component, except for the steering shaft, i've checked all the linkage and it seems to be fine. i figure if the dual set up cant fix it then i have a bigger problem somewhere else.

I have a Fabtech- costs around 80$ and a great investment!

Had a fabtech on my 1999 with 38 inch tires, was well worth the money i spent then, which was a little over 110.

So y'all think the single is enough? I have a 5 in suspension lift on 35's. Does it take any strain off of the pitman/idler?

I just put a rancho on my truck, only running 33's but it does make a difference. I'm hoping it would help the idler arm last longer because these trucks seem to eat them up.. we shall see I guess.
