Carli Suspension's CS-FHMSS-08 "High Mount" Steering Stabilizer for the Ford F250 / F350 will bolt into the factory location, replacing the OEM unit.  However, this is not your average replacement steering stabilizer. These Carli stabilizers feature an adjustable nitrogen charge that push's to the Left to counter-act a Right Hand Tire Pull (commonly caused by larger tires).  Pre-pressurized at 200 PSI (best for push effect), this stabilizer is equipped with a Schrader valve that allows customers to bleed the pressure to desired PSI. A 70 PSI will provide a lower pressure and a neutral effect (no pushing to the left), but still providing increased steering predictability, minimized volatility and reduced driver fatigue.

When paired with the Carli Low Mount Stabilizer (sold separately) these steering stabilizers give great counteractive stabilization capabilities. They can be configured for a neutral setting or fine-tuned to address radial pull in either direction. This setup ensures exceptional steering control with one shock dedicated to each steering link.

Carli Stabilizers feature their IFP (internal floating piston) technology, a superior choice compared to Emulsion shocks, which are commonly used for affordability but have limitations in performance and longevity. The body is made from 304 Stainless Steel and truly looks amazing while minimizing effects from the elements and road debris. An billet aluminum Top-Cap made from a solid piece of aluminum houses a teflon lined 1/2 inch bearing and o-ring style Schrader valve. The opposite end of the stabilizer uses another billet aluminum rod end housing a 17-4 stainless high-misalignment pin inside a 1/2 inch bearing for bind-free performance.

Features & Benefits:

• Improves handling - Increased steering predictability, minimized volatility and reduced driver fatigue
• Higher nitrogen charge pushes to the left to counter-act a right hand tire pull (common with larger tires)
• IFP design (Internal Floating Piston)
• Includes all required brackets and hardware
• 304 Stainless Steel Body with Aluminum Top-Cap
• Billet Aluminum rod ends with 1/2 inch bearings
• 17-4 stainless high-misalignment pin inside a 1/2 inch bearing for bind free performance
• Adjustable Nitrogen Charge - Schrader valve allows customer to bleed the pre-charged stabilizer (pressurized at 200 psi for right push, or drop to 70 psi for no directional influence)
• Corrects right tire pull, adjustable
• Simple bolt-on installation
• Combines with Low-Mount (sold separately) for opposing stabilization

Jack-it Pro Tips and Advice

Aftermarket steering stabilizers are available in two main types: Emulsion and IFP (Internal Floating Piston), both of which are "gas" charged and contain oil. Emulsion shocks are cheaper than their IFP counterparts but have limitations when used in horizontally mounted applications like steering stabilizers. When mounted sideways, the oil and gas mix, leading to poor damping performance as the piston moves back and forth. Emulsion shocks are commonly found in cheaper dual steering stabilizer kits, more for aesthetics than actual performance. They have smaller pistons, a shorter lifespan, and struggle to effectively control suspension or steering, but are favored for their affordability. On the other hand, Carli Stabilizers are all IFP Shocks, ensuring optimal utilization of proprietary valving technology. IFP shocks have a second piston, called the Dividing piston, internally separating the nitrogen cavity from the oil cavity. This design allows the shock to be mounted in any orientation, even on its side as a stabilizer. The adjustable nitrogen charge pressurizes the oil cavity, keeping the piston always submerged and efficiently engaging the proprietary valving.

Additionally, the nitrogen charge pressurizing the oil cavity enhances the oil's heat tolerance while preventing cavitation or foaming. This results in superior overall performance and longevity for Carli Stabilizers compared to Emulsion shocks commonly found in cheaper alternatives. Although a steering stabilizer is not a magical solution for a wandering truck or a fix for death wobble, it plays a vital role in increasing steering predictability while reducing volatility, road noise, and driver fatigue. Its primary purpose is to stabilize the steering, providing a smoother driving experience. Stock steering stabilizers are designed for stock steering systems and tires, but their effectiveness declines over time, especially with larger aftermarket tires.
