I am wanting a steering stabalizer to match my bilstiens 5100s. Anyine here have the part number. I don't really need it because my rig is dialed in. It's mostly appearance. Just looking for the right part number.

Thanks peeps

I went that route through Tom's. I used the factory brackets and the stabilizer was too short and limited my steering. I made a longer bracket under the frame thinking that would help. Still the travel of the stab was too short so I simply took it off.

Billstein does not make a matching stabilizer that would fit the bronco with its stock brackets.
They do have one that’s close that has eyes at both ends, rather than stems. Also one, I believe, that has an Also one, I believe, that has an eye at one end at a step at the other.
But either way you’d have to custom fabricate your own brackets.
That, or, find a matching paint color and take a standard stabilizer and paint it.
If you get desperate, put a Billstein decal on it! :)

I kinda like the way ONE looks, whether or not it does anything positive. Used to see square body chevys in the delta multiple stabilizers, usually two stacked but sometimes three. In all fairness, they were Chevy 4X4s with 5 or more inches of lift and running 44s.

OMG they brought that mess back! Ridiculous, I hadn't seen that.
probably fooling a whole new generation that its a good idea.

The “new generation” package comes with a steering stabilizer and triple shock mounts for all 4 corners. Haha.

To each there own and that aside, one or three stabilizers usually do nothing but maybe band aid a steering problem and were originally suppled as part of a dampener type device when running offroad, so the wheel doesn't jerk out of your hands as quickly. Some how they got pressed into service for a "fix" for larger tires and lifts.
I will say that running 44's come with a certain set of issues all by themselves.

I think in the 80's the triple on a lifted big body 4x4 was common everywhere, certainly popular n the mid-west too!

did you see that Skycrapper now has a dual inline stabilizer for the EB?
Just made me think about the 80's some more and realized the mullet hair style has been brought back by the youngsters, so triple shock and triple rollbars with neon should absolutely make a comeback!
I can't wait!!

You forgot triple CHROME roll bars!
Well, once the lights came on at the companies, they were "bed bars" or "light bars" or "show bars" or whatever bars. Just not "roll bars" anymore.
But everybody knows that neon goes best with chrome!
