Description
The Tuff Country 65280 SX5000 Single Steering Stabilizer is a rugged, bolt-on solution designed to restore confident steering for Ford F-Series trucks and SUVs running up to 33" tires. Built for lifted setups and off-road use, it dampens steering shimmy for smoother, more predictable handling.
- Compatibility: Fits 1980–1997 Ford Bronco, F-150, F-250, and F-350 4WD models for reliable, factory-style installation.
- Single stabilizer design: Mounts one end to the axle or frame and the other to the stock tie-rod to dampen steering effects.
- Shimmy reduction: Specifically reduces steering wobble and vibrations that can occur with larger tires and lift kits.
- Tire size guidance: Optimized for 33" tires or smaller to improve handling without over-stiffening the front end.
- Finish and construction: Durable gray powder-coated steel housing built for harsh road and trail conditions.
- Complete installation kit: Includes brackets, mounting hardware, and U-bolts required for a straightforward install; dust boots sold separately, shock boots not included.
- Brand reliability: From Tuff Country, a name with proven experience in off-road suspension components and performance enhancements.
This stabilizer helps you maintain precise steering feel, reduces fatigue on long drives, and improves control when navigating washboard roads or uneven terrain. It’s a practical upgrade for drivers seeking steadier handling on lifted trucks and SUVs without altering steering geometry.
