Would a steering stabilizer benefit me?

I just dropped off my '05 F150 supercrew today to have a 4" rancho lift, 33" Pro-comp Extreme AT's, Maganaflow exhaust, K and N cold air intake, and edge evolution programmer put on. Would a single steering stabilizer benefit me or should I wait and see if I have any vibrations or "wobble" first?

I'm not sure that's even an option for you. I know Fabtech makes a dual stabalizer kit, but I'm not sure it will work with other lifts or a stock truck.

According to Fabtech, their stabilizer is for use with their lift kit only. Who knows. Maybe a little creative fabrication, and you can make it work.

But do they make one for the 04-08 F-150's?

Thank you everyone for your input. I had researched some on what my options would be if I did have a wobble, but I got the truck back a couple days ago and I have no wobble or any problems what-so-ever.

Agreed...post your pics!
As for steering stabilizer, you need to customize the brackets to make them work as we have rack and pinion steering. At least two members have done this but I don't remember who...makes me want to do the same, tho.

What kind of problems are we talking about? So far I have not had any issues with the edge.

As far as the pics go, I am trying to get them posted but the site/my computer are not wanting to agree with me. I will try again in a minute, but so far 3 tries and no luck.

I got the pics posted today, for whatever reason I can not post them at home, so I did it at the university

I think stovetop was referring to the fact that mine is a 4" system, in which no one supports a stabilizer without modification on. I am guessing yours went on easy because it was a 6" fabtech.
