Description

The Tuff Country 66280 Dual Steering Stabilizer kit is a heavy-duty SX5000 solution designed to improve handling characteristics and reduce steering shimmy, especially on lifted Ford 4x4s with 35" tires. It’s built for rugged reliability and precise steering feel on the road and trail.

  • Dual Stabilizer Design: Two SX5000 dampers work in concert to dampen steering inputs, reduce shimmy, and deliver steadier steering across uneven terrain and high-speed runs.
  • Gray Finish: Sturdy gray steel housings provide durable, corrosion-resistant performance and a clean, integrated look on Ford 4x4s.
  • 35" Tire Ready: Specifically recommended for vehicles using 35" or larger tires to reclaim steering precision after a lift.
  • Versatile Mounting: Mounts one end to the axle or frame and the other to the stock tie-rod, offering flexible installation on compatible Ford 4WD models.
  • Complete Install Kit: Includes mounting brackets, bolts, nuts, washers, and U-bolts to simplify DIY installation (dust boots sold as an option; shock boots not included).
  • Ford Fitment Range: Designed to fit 1980–1997 Ford Bronco 4WD, 1980–1996 F-150 4WD, 1980–1997 F-250 4WD, and 1980–1997 F-350 4WD.

Upgrade to the Tuff Country SX5000 dual steering stabilizers and experience reduced steering shimmy, sharper handling, and more confident control during everyday driving and off-road sessions. This kit is ideal for Ford trucks and SUVs pushing the limits of tire size and ride height, providing tangible improvements in steering stability when you need it most.
