The ES2000 steering stabilizer is specifically engineered to improve handling characteristics and to reduce wheel vibration, which leads to suspension component fatigue and failure. Helps reduce bump steer problems caused by oversized tires and/or rough roads.

Great value for your money!
My truck - 2005 f250 6.0I have been debating for some time if I wanted to do a steering stabilizer kit and thought what the heck I’ll try it out and I’m glad I did. Install was straight forward. Big center bracket that bolts to diff is heavy but I was able to hold it in place and start the u bolts and nuts by myself. The u bolts that go over the tie rods, do yourself a favor and give them a little tug to open them up a little due to be tight to get over the tie rods. My truck has a 2 inch leveling kit on the front and everything installed with ease in 1 hour. Steering does feel a little more firm nothing crazy but it is noticeable and hitting a feel small pot holes(michigan) it didn’t jerk really at all so all. For the price you really can’t go wrong. Take a look at the picture I think it actually looks pretty good as well.

FORD F 350 STOCK
I have to say this is the best steering stabilizer system for a stock Ford F350 I found out there for the money its built to last easy to install DIRECTIONS could be a little better to understand on telling you where to mount ,mounting brackets on tie rods I took shock all the way out and measure the length took a sharpie and halfway I put a mark and that's where I mounted them so when you turn left and right they don't hit or bottom out I gave it for stars only because they should have included rubber boots for the shockThey are on the front of the truck and they going to pick up the road grime other than that it's a quality made system I would definitely recommend it to anybody but buy a pair of universal boots to put on the shocksI hope this helpsThanksRandy

Be flexible and patient.
They arrived really quickly with zero damage. The install went pretty well other than the tie-rod bracket U-bolts being too small, but with some tapping and a little muscle I got them in. The directions were for 2005-07 and 08 Powerstrokes and not the 2015, so I had to guestimate where the mounts went. It only took a couple trys to get the distance correct. After the install, I took the truck over the bumps where I consistently had the infamous "Death Wobble" and didn't have one shimmy. This was money well spent. I would have given 5 stars if the U-bolts were easier to work with and the directions included the 2015 like it says on the cover.

Death Wobble Gone
My 2015 F250 had a severe case of the death wobbles when I bought it. I initially replaced the stock steering damper , it helped a little but the problem was still and issue. I then found a tie rod end that was worn, replaced that and had an alignment shop give everything a check. All other suspension parts were in great shape but the problem, although much better, persisted. Next up was modifying the radius arms to allow for caster adjustment. I dialed in some negative caster, it almost cured the issue but at times when hitting rough pavement at just the right speed the death wobble would happen. I had been avoiding adding heavy duty stabilizers since I thought it was just a band aid for the problem but finally gave it a go and the problem is totally gone, not even the tiniest hint of shimmy. My thought is that it changes the harmonics of the front suspension to the point where the wobbles cant get to a significant amplitude.I would have given this kit 5 stars but the tie rod u-bolts are too small causing the legs to splay out. At first I thought I was going to have to work up an alternative solution but then noticed that bolt holes in the tie rod plate were spaced for the splayed out ends. If this is the case then I'd rather that set up a jig to spread out the bolt legs before shipping them, or even better get bolts that fit better.

Cured Death Wobble
I have a stock 4wd 2013 F250 that recently developed the beginnings of what seems like death wobble on the highway. I took it to several mechanics and they checked the balljoints and steering joints and they were all in good shape but this wobble persisted. I decided to give this dual steering stabilizer a try and it FIXED it! My truck is driving like it should again.I would recommend using a bottle jack to help position the bracket on the axle when you are bolting up the u-bolts. Everything else was easy to install with a basic socket set and a crescent wrench.

Great value.
Great quality product. The fabricated weldment that mounts to the axle looks like it is easily worth $100. The 2 plates that mount to the tie rod ends look fairly cheap, but they are ~3/8 plate. Expect the pieces o. The tie rods to bend and conform to the rounded shape when you torque to 30 ft lb. I tightened evenly, until finally reaching torque, and the loosened and repositioned, then retorqued. Placement on the tie rods is not clear for later models. I followed the instruction of another purchaser, and marked the midpoint of the shock stroke, and I stalled there. The u-bolts are the right size, the fit right and need pounded into place like some muffler clamps. Great value for the $. My only caution, the kit says it can be used with the original damper on place. Do not buy a new one like I did, all 3 dampers are actually too much, and the steering doesn't recenter itself. I will remove the factory damper tonight. This was a great fix for the ride of my truck. I probably wouldn't have replaced the barely worn components in my steering if I had started with this.

Strong Kit! Fixes Wobbles!
Looks durable and helped improve steering, especially for those with a lift kit and large tires. for some reason when I installed it (Following instructions exactly), the shocks only opened about 3 inches on both sides. Seems like they could have made the shock body shorter to allow it to open more, but this does not seem to affect performance. Don't forget to get a boot cover!Installed on a 2008 Ford F250 Super Cab. Has a ProComp Lift KitNote: I had ordered this from Amazon but then returned it after comparing it to the existing aftermarket kit installed which had significantly smaller shocks that were fully extended [hence my comment on the short expansion on this kit]. Ended up finding out that someone had installed a Jeep Wrangler Kit to the truck and was told to rebuy this. I rebought it from 4 Wheel Parts.

2012 F350 Nightmare
Well this arrived on time and seemed to be a good product. How ever I'm pretty mechanically inclined and the instructions threw me for a loop. I thought for a moment this was the wrong one for my 2012 F350. I tried it again and I was able to make it work everything seems heavy duty but the welded supports were just a little bit off and with something that ridged i really had to manipulate it to fit just right and there's still gaps in the hardware. I top if that one of the shocks were damaged due to how it was packaged. They put the sharp edges of the bracket towards the shocks as you can see in the picture. Also.... I was missing U bolts for one side of the outer shock mounts. I normally wouldn't wright a bad review like this but I have been trying to get them to send me the repacement shock and the u bolts since the 15th its now the 29th and ill i got was ill look into it and wait for a shipping number "things are slow due to covid" its funny how when I gave them money the first time it got here in under a weak. Conclusion ill lit you kniw when I finally get this installed. Ps check to see if you have all the pieces before you start like the instructions say. It sucks to take it all apart after crawling on the ground for an hour.

It Does The Job!!
Installed these on my '08 F350 with a 4" lift and 35" tires.Made a great difference on the "wandering " but I wish it made a little more of a difference (I do live in Saskatchewan and the roads here are crap).I would definitley recommend this product!!Took me almost 2hrs to install by myself and having the truck still frozen with ice underneath.UPDATE:After 3wks of installation, one of the U bolts sheared off and just yesterday another one broke on one side of the bolt.All install instructions were followed and every nut was tightened.Would I be able to get another set of two sent out to me?

Great product
I had contacted the manufacturer to ensure this was the correct unit for my 2013 F350 4WD with the diesel engine. They ensured me that this is the correct unit. That was a good thing. However when asked if it came with dust boots the manufacturer claimed it did. That was a bad thing. It did not. I ordered them separately. Otherwise the unit fit perfectly and solved my death wooble.
