Best steering stabilizer

I just wanted some input on who made the best steering stabilizer. I had the super lift one put on my truck and Im not to happy I need something bullet proof. Thanks

If your talking about the basic shock style stab's, I cant imagine that the steering stabilizer's out their are that much different from each other.

Do you want one because of death wobble? I think a big steering stabilizer is just a band-aid for other parts that have gone bad. weather it be ball joint, trac bar or bad/too big of tires.

just my .02

Sorry guys I thought you would have looked at my pics. Well I have a 6 inch lift and since my lift I have put about 2k miles on it. I just want my steering real tight and its not and i know it wont ever be but I want to make sure I got the best steering on the market. Thanks

2006 mega,

I love your rig. Very nice!

From what I have gathered, the Rocklogic is one of, if not the best. I am going to get one just because I like tight steering as well.

Here is one to check out. http://www.sourceautomotive.biz/steeringsuspension.htm

I don't know if it is the "best" or not. Honestly, I don't know that much about them and don't own one.....at least not yet. But I believe several guys on this board are running it so it must not be to bad.

I had good luck with my dual Superlift stabilizers. I have a dual Skyjacker setup in the garage for the '99 but haven't gotten it on yet.

You dont have death wobble do you?

Because you lifted your truck sure it will have a different steering feel.

I cant imagine that since you have an 06 that anything is worn out yet and you dont have large MT's to throw that off.

I dont think there's much room for improvement since you already have a superlift stabilizer.

Do you have the Dual Bilstien Stabilizer from Superlift?

I just put a 4.5" Superlift with Bilstiens and the stock stabilizer with 100% stock front end w/ 55K and Yes it feels different then stock but nothing scary.

It feels like a lifted truck. Dont expect a 7,000lb Diesel truck with a 6" lift to handle like stock.

You asked for a bullet proof stabilizer. Does that mean that your superlift one is shot or worn out?

I get an allighment every 6 months. Firestone offers a lifetime allighment for $129 and I take full advantage of that since im rollin on $1,400 in rubber

If I were you id
Get your tires re-ballanced
Get an alighment
try the dual bilstien stabilzers

What about those 4Way "return to center" steering stabilizers? They are a spring/shock combo that looks like it's from a coil over suspension. Anyone ever try them? I'll see if I can dig up a link...

Nice rig 2006 mega! I use a steering stabilizer from Doetsch Tech shocks. I also have their shocks on my ride. They are not as well known as some companies, but I have used their shocks on many vehicles, and they have been perfect everytime. They have a lifetime warranty on them, but I've never had to use it. They are based out of El Cajon, CA I believe. I think their website is doetschtech.com. Hope that helps.

No death wobble its just when it hits a bump it pulls a lil and on bumpy country roads its all over the place. My superlift is not work out yet well I hope not haha. I have had it on for about 2000 miles. Thanks for your input...

I'm not sure what kit they are talking about all I see on the site is the ram assist steering.

I think that was the website. You should PM JD Dearden, he is the one who recommended the kit to me in the first place.
