We address everything in this kit. Our 8" Stryker Ride coils with the 2.5" Identity Series top spacer and a 1.5" bottom spacer are designed to mimic the factory specs and provide a great ride. Our rear blocks have the bumpstop pads built in to utilize the factory rear bumpstops that Ford designed in for the heavy hauling these trucks were designed for.
We went about it a little different. Instead of offering a leaf adder option we chose to raise the height of your existing leaf springs. Stryker Engineering found that manipulating the OEM Factory Springs resulted in a reduced ride experience for very little lift height improvement!
ADJUSTABLE DRAG LINK BAR |
 |
|
Stryker's upgraded F450 Drag Link utilizes a one-piece design, made from heavy duty steel, to correct the steering geometry on your lifted truck while also eliminating the weakness in the factory drag link: The adjuster. Under stress, the factory drag link can bend at the adjustment point, especially if your truck is lifted and has larger tires. The Stryker one-piece F450 Drag Link not only helps prevent this, but also significantly tightens up the feel of your steering system! The 6-9" versions come with an upgraded Moog tie rod end at the pitman arm side, while the 10-14" versions come with both the pitman arm side Moog tie rod end and a high misalignment Moog tie rod end at the knuckle side. NOTE: Factory-mount stabilizers are not compatible with Stryker's one-piece upgraded Drag Link - We recommend our F450 Dual Steering Stabilizer kits. |

|
 |

DUAL STEERING STABILIZERS
There is no consensus regarding single versus dual steering stabilizers. But lifted truck projects are usually accompanied with larger tire sizes.
Larger tires bring a variety of physical demands for your F450 F550 Super Duty Truck
Vibration:
Vibration is the primary demand to focus on. The original excellent suspension on your F450 F550 can accommodate most of that vibration. But if you improve the handling and ride quality by dampening the added side to side motion of your tires that is the first place to address. Shock absorbers dampen the up and down movement of your Super Duty and they can also dampen the side movement of your larger tires.
Dual Versus Single:
Dual stabilizers dampen the vibrations better than a SINGLE shock tied to one side in OUR opinion. Is the improvement worth the added cost?
Of course it depends on several subjective INFORMED decisions. If your Lifted Super Duty is actually a daily driver then the performance improvement may not be required. But if you plan to build your F450 F550 with the capability of HEAVY OFF ROADING even if you don't go there then DUAL is likely your best investment. The cost ADDER is actually not significant compared to the value of your F450 F550. If your lifted truck has tires 35" or larger you are an excellent candidate to investigate a Steering Stabilizer even if Off Road is not a concern!.
And then there is the subjective issue of STYLE! What did you want to look at when you see the front of your F450 F550 Lift? Stryker's goal is to provide you with RUGGED STYLE™! We are committed to providing performance and style. Review our V1 and V2 offerings including 4 levels of shock upgrades.
