High-Performance Steering Control
This system includes two Bilstein 5100 monotube cylinders, each featuring a seamless extruded body, patented piston design, and high-pressure gas charge for fade-free performance. The valving is custom-tailored to support the demands of larger wheels and rugged terrain, ensuring consistent steering response across variable conditions.
Durable Construction with Premium Finish
Each stabilizer cylinder boasts a brushed silver zinc finish for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, complete with black dust boots for added protection. The included mounting hardware ensures a straightforward bolt-on installation for your lifted Ford Super Duty.
Why Upgrade Your Steering Stabilizer?
Factory stabilizers are typically undersized and degrade over time. The Bilstein 5100 upgrade combats bump steer, steering wander, and tire shimmy often caused by oversized tires, worn suspension components, and aggressive terrain. If you're noticing oil leaks or reduced control, it's time to upgrade.
