Yes on the Fox Stabilizer! Running Fox 2.0 on 2012 F250 myself.

Running them 2.0s but Carli tuned with my commuter 2.0 kit. Obviously improved ride with Carli coil springs, so hard to compare with just replacing OEM shocks only.

[@michaelmooney6245]

Running Bilstein 5100s and matching steering stabilizer on my 2019. Couldn't be happier especially for the money spent.

[@KendrasEdge757]

When I had my 15’ F250 I put an 8” BDS suspension lift and it came with Fox 2.0’s….had the lift installed in mid 2017 and they’re still on the truck and haven’t leaked yet. I no longer own it lol but they’re still rockin.

[@sethveronese2563]

Great choice Arod. I’m running the fox 2.0 with ext reservoir. They also have the compression adjusters having 8 clicks of low speed compression adjustment

[@Tom67X]

Bilstein 5100's and stabilizer. My 2017 XLT tows a 5th wheel and it's been acceptable. Was tempted to spring for the Fox's...but ended up saving some dough.

[@joshuanickerson1108]

I had the fox 2.0 and was not a fan didn’t care for the ride. I just changed to the icon 2.5 with remotes. And the truck rides so much better. I also have a rough country dual steering.

[@freethinkingamerican80]

I put the expensive Fox ATS steering stabilizer on pretty much as soon as I got my 22 back in 21 and it's been a great addition to the truck.

[@ronsonday617]

Is it worth the money?

[@JustinKingOffroad]

my used 2019 came with fox shocks on it. i like it. i just put the fox steering stabilizer on it to since that was still OEM and hitting bumps while turning would rip the steering wheel out of my hand. that problem has since gone away.

[@louie3552]

Rancho 9000s on my F350 dually. Front set on “7” all the time, rear on “5” unloaded for a good ride, set to “9” when towing my 19k 5th wheel/3200 lb bed load. Love the ride with the Rancho’s easy adjustability, lift time warranty….and no longer any issues with Death Wobble with the only “dual stabilizer” system (pmf) that supports “stock front end” height that I found. Have the PMF dual steering stabilizer with Bilsteins, and factory stabilizer replaced with Bilstein as well.

[@louie3552]

Note: I also got my front diff cover from PMF as they machine the covers they sell to support their (PMF’s) front dual steering stabilizer system.

[@riley6723]

I put Bilstein 5100’s on my 21-F350. A year later I put on Fox 2.5’s (I didn’t pay for them,nor would I have). I honestly noticed a profound difference with ride quality. Before I would go down bumpy roads at 10mph, which now I go down at 20mph (and it feels smoother than the Bilstein 10mph). Knowing what I know now I’d go Fox 2.5’s in the front and Bilstein 5100’s in the rear (if I had to pay for the set up).

[@mjbskidoo]

I love my Billstein’s 👍🏼

[@BLACKCLOUDFORD]

The Fox 2.0 I put on my truck were much more stiff than my Bilstein 5100s. I swapped back to Bilstein after a week.

[@alexshikin5093]

I was looking at those til i found out that FOX recommends a rebuild every 50k miles of highway use and 10k of off road use.

[@TreverAdamo]

I have had these Fox shocks on two separate Super Duties. One was a 14 and one was a 17. They are a fantastic shock and ride Ride really well. On top of that they are a very high quality shocked. You're not going to find anything better quality as an OE replacement. But their one issue is their steals that they use are basically the same as what they use for their race shocks. And because of that they don't have a long life cycle. It seems like on average Buy around 30k they will start to leak or at least one on your vehicle will start to leak. That was my experience on both my trucks. So on my 22 I went with Bilstein 5100. I think the fox is a better riding shock but I went with the boss sign just because of their longevity this time so I don't have to replace them. After two years because of the mileage I'm driving now

[@hudso101]

I got Bilstein 4100. Not fancy, but great when daily driving and towing tt

[@Biggordon01]

In my opinion the steering stabilizers are definitely not needed unless maybe you have +37" tires. I've had 3 newer ford f350s and have had steering wobble in all of them, even the one I have now 2022 f350 with fox dual reservoirs adjustable shocks. It completely went away after I put 2 degree caster bushings in. It steers/feels better, night and day difference. even with bigger tires on the factory stabilizer.

[@21psd]

This!!

[@rangervapes571]

To boot or not to boot the shocks is the real question.

[@jaymitchell1824]

I have fully optioned Carli Suspension system with king 2.5 diameter shocks (pintop system) Worth every penny as it is not a budget system.

[@specopsdad1353]

@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I'm running the King 2.5 oem shocks with the King upper stabilizer. Rides like butter with the Carli springs. What do you think about running your front tires at 40psi and the rears at 35psi for micro bumps?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Wiw!

[@tdotw77]

That's kinda low for 10ply heavy-duty tires I think. Guess if you're not loaded up heavy or towing it shouldn't matter as much tho. Might wear your tires unevenly too. 🤔👍👌🛠️🔧🔩⛓️🚜🚧😄

[@specopsdad1353]

@tdotw77 I'm running 37" Toyo MT's which are a 3ply D rating (I know what your thinking a D vs an E rating? The D Toyo have a higher tow cap than most E's). When I'm towing I run 50psi.

[@HVACRpro]

I have the fox steering stabilizer from PMF. Definitely a huge improvement! Do it!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Fer real

[@dvs_15gt74]

I’ve got the same shocks on my 20 F350 tremor. Would have gotten the resivoir set but unsure of leveling or lifting. Also went with the through shaft fox steering damper.

[@SticksBlog]

I swapped over to Bilstein 5100’s on all 4 corners and the matching steering stabilizer at 10k miles on my 22 Duty. Definitely a better ride than stock, even when pulling our camper. I’ll admit, the Fox’s look better, but after reading so many reviews the Bilstein’s seemed like the better choice for a few reasons. Obviously I can’t compare, but I’d definitely get another set of the 5100’s if I had another Duty. Although, I doubt you will be unhappy with those Fox shocks either… especially over stock.

[@Whitestink]

Tell me more! I’ve got a 22 lariat 250 6.7 FX4. I’m not impressed at all with the stock suspension. Been thinking about upgrading.

[@kevlabauve]

I went Fox 2.0 with the double steering stabilizer from the stock FX4’s. I found the Fox shocks bouncier if that makes sense yet softer. The softness was an improvement but it came at a slight cost over stock. I hear and read that the Bilstein is a solid choice. I’d start with less tire pressure and go from there.

[@dean3471]

I'm running the stock shocks still. But I want to get the fox 2.0 and later on get the fox steering stabilizer.

[@zekester1]

Still running the stock ones on my '18 f350 drw with 79+k on the clock👍💪💯

[@JMSynthetics]

I replaced the stock tremor shocks with Bilstein 5160s on all four corners. So far so good, feel stiffer, definitely different than stock.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I agree

[@JMSynthetics]

I currently also have the Bilstein direct replacement steering shock which compared to OEM is a big improvement but sitting on the shelf is the FOX ATS setup waiting to go on.

Do you tow? I tow a fair amount and have a Tremor. Looking at the 5160’s

[@randiray8640]

I have been running the Fox 2.0 for almost three years now on my 2018 Kimg Ranch. I would never go back to OEM. When I put them on I noticed an immediate difference in handling, smoother ride and I no longer have the rear end bucking I had with OEM. As you mentioned, ARod, the washboard roads are far smoother. I drive from N. Texas to my ranch in Washington State often, it’s essentially a 4K round trip. The Fox 2.0 made all the difference in that drive. Thanks ARod, for your content. What took you so long to make the switch to Fox 2.0? We’ve had this discussion.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]
