FOX Performance Series 2.0 TS Steering Stabilizer — Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty SKU: 985-02-132

Overview

This is a FOX Performance Series 2.0 TS (Through Shaft) steering stabilizer for the Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty. The Through Shaft architecture eliminates shaft fluid displacement throughout the stabilizer's full travel in both directions, delivering neutral, consistent damping of unwanted steering feedback as a single bolt-on unit — without needing dual opposing stabilizers. Includes application-specific mounting hardware.

Before ordering: Fitment and drivetrain coverage vary by exact model year and trim, especially on the F-350 — consult the Verified Fitment table rather than assuming universal fit across all Super Duty years. A drop bracket is required for lifts greater than 1.5". This listing does not specify which clamp size ships with this exact part number — FOX offers this stabilizer in multiple clamp sizes for stock or aftermarket heavy-duty tie rods; confirm the correct clamp size for your tie rod before ordering.

Required separately: A drop bracket is required if your lift exceeds 1.5" and is not included with this listing. Professional installation is recommended; this listing does not include full installation instructions beyond the manufacturer documentation for this part number.

Critical Compatibility

• Through Shaft (TS) design: Eliminates shaft fluid displacement throughout the stabilizer's full travel in both directions, providing neutral and consistent steering damping as a single unit — eliminating the need for dual opposing stabilizers.
• Lift height over 1.5": Requires a drop bracket, which is not included with this listing.
• Clamp size: This stabilizer is available in multiple clamp sizes for stock or aftermarket heavy-duty tie rods. This listing does not specify which clamp size ships with this exact part number — confirm the correct size for your tie rod before ordering.
• Drivetrain varies by year and trim: Most F-350 trims (Lariat, XL, XLT) are 4WD-specific across all covered years. King Ranch and Platinum are 4WD-only through 2022, then broaden to "All" drivetrains for 2023. F-350 Limited is listed as "All" drivetrain throughout its coverage. Confirm your specific truck's drivetrain against the table.

Common Questions

What does "Through Shaft" (TS) mean?
The shaft passes through the stabilizer body in a way that eliminates fluid displacement throughout its full travel in both directions, avoiding the push/pull steering force conventional stabilizers create and removing the need for dual opposing stabilizers.

Do I need a drop bracket?
Only if your lift exceeds 1.5". The drop bracket is not included with this listing.

What clamp size does this stabilizer use?
This part number is available in multiple clamp sizes for stock or aftermarket heavy-duty tie rods. Confirm the correct size for your tie rod before ordering.
