Bought in may 2019. Now in April 2021. Stabilizer was working fine and made an improvement, I liked it very much. My truck has low miles on it, in that time I put just over 13k miles on my truck, drove the truck to work one day and noticed a puddle under it, took a look and the stabilizer was leaking out of the seal that the rod slides through. Not too happy it only lasted 13k miles of on road use. I am very meticulous with my truck so it was not abused in any way.

so I've purchased the pass through Fox shock for a 2019 F3 50 so far shock is doing what it is supposed to but on initial install and ever since as you turn the wheel especially in cold weather it makes a creek sound like the pass-through is gripping on the seals , it is worse than the cold weather but regardless it does it left or right sounds like an old creaky door wore out suspension parts,,, iam gonna keep driving for awhile and see if goes away but my experience being a mechanic I really don't think it will, but if it doesn't I also ordered the Fox 2.0 standard regular factory replacement type so will check that one and see if it works if this noise doesnt go away ...

The Fox TS (985-02-132) is a very good replacement for the stock Ford steering stabilizer. I am very happy with the TS and can only imagine how good the ATS would be. I am running a slightly larger tire (285x65x20E) and the TS really tightened up the steering feel for my truck. I never have had "death wobble" with this truck, so this isn't something I was trying to correct. This was a very easy install, once i found my pickle fork to get the stock stabilizer bolt out.

This item really improved the handling of my truck. I tow a 10,000lb trailer and most time with 1,000lbs in bed. This stabilizer controls those little wobbles that happen from time to time.

Customer Question Will this be direct replacement for factory dampener on my 2020 Ford F-350 truck. I have a 6” lift with 37” tires but have the drop pitman arm to put things back to factory alignment

Asked by: Roger Mayfield - 1/28/2024
Customer Answer This is a stock location replacement stabilizer and will work as long as the lift kit you have still is able to utilize the factory stabilizer. Most lift kits don't interfere with the use of the factory stabilizer.

Customer Question I recently purchased this stabilizer, and in the instructions, it indicates, “Ensure the vehicle is at full droop during installation.” Why does the vehicle have to be at full droop? I have never seen this in all of the installation videos I have watched.

Asked by: Brad Green - 12/19/2023
Customer Answer The instructions Fox includes with the kit in regards to full droop and amount of shaft exposed is to make sure the stabilizer is not fully compressed in either direction and can function properly. It's highly recommended to follow their instructions, but if you have enough knowledge to install it properly without going through their steps and you keep the proper amount of shaft on each end and no clearance issues when the tires are fully turned in either direction than you are good to go.

Customer Question PMF drag links are 1.5”. I thought the 2.0 TS 985-02-132 mount is 1.5”. Is this not correct? Thanks.

Asked by: Mike - 12/30/2022
Customer Answer This kit is designed for the factory drag link. We can't guarantee fitment with aftermarket drag links.

Customer Question Have a 2021 F350 with a readylift 2.5" leveling kit and 35's. Looking to upgrade from my factory stabilizer. No real issues today just would like tightening up of the front end feel and take out some of the steering shutter from the 35's. Would this work or would I be happier with a dual kit?

Asked by: Joe - 5/31/2022
Customer Answer If you're only running 35" tires on a 2.5" level and you aren't planning on jumping up to more lift or bigger tires in the future, the Fox 2.0 TS stabilizer would be perfectly fine, and dual kit would likely be overkill.

Customer Question Will this work with pmf drag link?

Asked by: Cody - 3/11/2021
Customer Answer Unfortunately, we can't guarantee it since the PMF kit uses larger tubing than stock. Your better bet would be the Bilstein 5100 damper, since it doesn't rely on clamping for installation.

Customer Question Will this stabilizer be suitable for running a level and 35's?

Asked by: Jim - 6/27/2020
Customer Answer As long as you're not running really heavy M/Ts or really big 35s (i.e. 35x13.50, 35x15.50, etc.), this stabilizer should work just fine and provide you an improvement in stability.

Customer Question Does this damper fit in the stock location? Meaning, you have the remove the oem damper and install this in it's place?

Asked by: JP - 12/24/2019
Customer Answer This stabilizer does require the removal of the stock stabilizer for installation, and uses one of the mounts for the stock stabilizer.

Customer Question This is much cheaper than the ATS in the same style. Would I be as happy on this item as compared to the ATS version for mostly street use?

Asked by: Darin - 11/21/2019
Customer Answer Probably. It really depends on the tire size you're aiming for. The 2.0 TS should be able to handle up to a 35" tire without issues. If you are aiming for larger tires than 35", then you may want to consider the ATS or a dual stabilizer setup.

Customer Question will this fit on f250 that has not been lifted?

Asked by: ctm2956 - 8/20/2019
Customer Answer Yep. This stabilizer does not have any ride height requirements and will work on a Super Duty that's still at stock ride height.

Customer Question Does this application fit a 4wd dually?

Asked by: Lance - 8/12/2019
Customer Answer Unfortunately, Fox has not confirmed fitment on the Dually trucks as of yet, and there could be an issue due to the larger drag links on the dually trucks and how this particular stabilizer installs. We do have other stabilizer options that will fit a F350 or F450 Dually, just give us a call directly at 623-434-5277.

Asked by: Dan - 8/7/2019
Customer Answer According to Fox, this stabilizer does not require a lift or a level for installation and will work on a Super Duty at stock ride height.
