Product Description

The FOX 983-02-251 is a Factory Race Series 2.0 ATS steering stabilizer with included drop bracket, designed for 2017-2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks running 0" to 2.5" of lift. The Adjustable Through Shaft design eliminates the oil displacement problem found in conventional stabilizers, where the shaft entering the body creates unequal pressure that pushes or pulls the steering in one direction. By running the shaft completely through the body, the ATS maintains equal fluid volume regardless of shaft position, delivering neutral and consistent damping in both directions. This eliminates the need for dual opposing stabilizers and the extra mounting hardware they require. The external piggyback reservoir adds fluid capacity and uses an Internal Floating Piston to keep the nitrogen charge separated from the hydraulic fluid, preventing cavitation during repeated steering corrections. A 24-click external compression adjuster lets you dial in the damping feel to match your driving style, tire size, and trail conditions without removing the stabilizer. The included drop bracket provides additional clearance on trucks with lift kits over 1.5", ensuring clean installation without interference. For stock-height trucks or lifts under 1.5", the stabilizer-only version is available as FOX 983-02-143.
