I purchased this as an OEM replacement part. When I went to install it on my F-250 Super Duty I discovered that the threaded portion of the shaft was to short to work with the supplied rubber bushings and there was no way to get the locknut started. The simple fix was to use one of the thicker new bushings and one of the thinner OEM bushings along with a bushing cap. Also all of the images of theis part show a Dual Stabalizer and in the discription it descibes it as a "Dual Tube Design" Now I understand what it means, however it would be easy for some to assume they are getting a daul stabalzer kit, versus a single shock. A good product and it certainly improved the steering and handling of the truck. There was no Shock Boot included but fortunately I had a matching blue one on my parts rack.
Really helped out. If you are running big tires 35's and up this will stop the wobble in your wheel when you hit bumps. Super easy to install
Q: I have a 2006 ford f-150 with a fabtech 6” coil over lift kit with cross member. I called your store in el cajon and I was told I can install on my vehicle is this correct? Answer this question
A: What I initially meant to say was, I got told by the store that it wasn't for my truck and that the website was wrong. It’s sad that they don't know their own products.
