Looks to me like it only fits yrs 94-02. It may not fit your 04. Are you having problems with your steering? The track bars look good though!

Yeah, I see that now Very interesting.... but I ain't had any steering problems, yet. It does look to be very sturdy with that extra bearing at the bottom of your steering shaft.

A steering stabilizer isn't going to correct drift! In reality they reall just mask problems. Have your truck aligned at a reputable shop.

I have had mine for at least 70k now. It did help with a couple problems I was having. Not a cure all for all of the possibilities though. All in all I would do it again as it just seems like a heck of good idea to have that extra suport.
