Skyjacker 7240 Steering Stabilizer Dual Kit

Great price and easy to install

I have a 95 F350. This is the only kit I could find for a dual steering stabilizer. It works great however you have to custom make some of the brackets. The ones the send won’t work. Install like factory just double the shocks up. But for price and quality they are good. Just misrepresented as far as solid axle F350s go. But you can make them work.

I bought this steering stabilizer for my 1992 F350. Even though this product is the correct part (according to Skyjacker) for my truck, once reading the instructions, I quickly realized that my truck was an after thought. Skyjacker bills this kit as a "universal" kit. I guess as long as welding is involved, any kit is universal? Reading the instructions, Step #2: you are told to bolt the bracket to the frame using the supplied u-bolt, but that the u-bolt won't work on 1992-96 F350's and that either drilling holes in the frame or welding will be required. Once you are finished with Step #7, you are told that if you are installing this on a truck with 6" or greater lift, you must weld the bracket even lower than Step #2 states. So, if you've already welded it to the frame like Step #2 instructs you and you have 6" or more lift on the truck, you are gonna be pretty pissed by the time you read what comes after Step #7. Since I have a 6" lift kit on the truck, I went ahead and cleaned off my frame rail and c-clamped the bracket to the frame for fitting. Once it was in the correct position and ready to weld I noticed something else wrong. When the bracket is welded to the frame, there is not enough space between the bracket and the passenger side leaf spring. It looks good when it is clamped up (or welded), but once you install the stabilizers and their bushings, you realize that the threaded shafts of the stabilizers will contact the leaf spring at the slightest bump. And this is on a truck with 6" lift. The threaded shafts are even closer to the leaf spring when no lift is installed on the truck. Very poor design all the way around. Even when mounted as instructed, the angles of the stabilizers are very bad. If you have coil springs on your truck (F150's and Bronco's) you shouldn't have the problem I've just described. But if you have a 1992-96 F350, get ready for some fun. You are better off just getting the stabilizers and fabbing up your own mounts or just getting a single steering stabilizer kit and mounting it up in the stock location. Oh yeah, if you really want to have some fun, give Skyjacker's customer support a call. They act like you are the first person to ever have a problem. Call multiple times, you'll get the same reaction each time you call. Regardless, search the net for images of any Ford with leaf springs and a Skyjacker dual steering stabilizer correctly installed. You won't find any for a reason. The kit is junk!

I have a 1996 F250 with twin I-beam and leaf springs, with a 6" skyjacker lift, the truck drove fine for some time then developed the "death wobble" in the front end making it almost un-drivable. I looked this kit up as the application on skyjacker's site and ordered it. The kit comes with one angle iron bracket that will have to be fitted to the inside of the passenger side frame and one that will u-bolt to the center link of the steering system. The frame bracket comes with a C shaped bolt but this did not fit my frame in a usable area. I held the bracket up and marked a desired location and drilled the frame to bolt the bracket then welded it for extra strength. I did have a flat surface on my frame to work with, and wasn't a horrible chore to install. The difference it made in driving my truck was well worth the trouble and time to install.

Returning this ASAP. Trust the negative reviews. They say its a universal mount, and that would be true if the universe was comprised of one truck. This did not fit my truck even remotely close. Even if I welded the bracket to the frame like they suggest in some applications, I would have to fab a smaller bracket to weld to the frame first to make a level spot to weld their bracket onto. Universal fit should not mean, fabricate your own bracket to weld to our bracket to weld to your truck. And like many people stated in previous reviews.... I was also missing some hardware (2 bushings). So if you have a 97 F350 Powerstroke, don't waste your time buying this.

Product came as advertised. Product did have hardware packaging torn open and seem to be missing some fastners. Will found out during installation whats missing.

Does not fit 95 Bronco. Due to weather can't even return it

Dosen't fit had to make my own brackets
