New BDS Steering Stabilizer Kits for ’73-87 GM Trucks

Coldwater, MI— March 13, 2015 — BDS Suspension is now offering redesigned dual steering stabilizer kit for the 1973-1987 Chevy/GMC 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks as well as the 1969-1991 Chevy/GMC SUVs. This new kit adds to the lineup of current single steering stabilizer kits and is designed to improve your GM’s overall drivability by reduce the front end shimmy caused by oversized tires to keep you in control.

These new dual steering stabilizer kit will lift trucks equipped with the factory stabilizer as well as those without and features a redesigned center bracket that replaces the now discontinued #55351 dual mount bracket. The new dual steering stabilizer kit is 100% bolt on, mounting a pair of BDS-5500 or Fox 2.0s end-to-end across the front steering. The new mounts are built from ultra-strong 3/8″ steel, finished in a durable textured black powder coat with a riveted stainless steel center BDS badging. The center bracket uses u-bolts to mount to the axle while the outer brackets mount to the tie rod ends. With the brackets in place you have the option to mount your choice of BDS-5500 hydraulic cylinders or Fox 2.0 gas cylinders. The Fox 2.0s feature 50/50 gas pressurized cylinders for superior dampening and the ultimate handling experience.

Hi Jeff,
We haven’t tested that particular truck, but won’t expect there to be any issues installing it on there

Looking for Fox 2.0 or better shocks for my 1986 Chevy K10 with a 6 inch lift, 37 inch tires- front, rear and steering stabilizer (with applicable bracket).
Thank you

Hey Jerry,
We offer FOX 2.0 IFP shocks and dual steering stabilizer for K10, that said it parts numbers will also depend on if your truck is equipped with factory singles or dual front shocks. Check out https://bds-suspension.com/kit-customizer?kid=129H to get the part numbers for the shocks and stabilizer needed. For additional shock options you’ll want to consult with FOX on their available options

Can you please confirm if this will work on a 1 ton 1990 V3500 (square body) Dana 60? One of the statements above says that it will, but when I go to the part number page it says that it will NOT work with 1 ton trucks. Wondering which is correct and why it might not fit the 1 ton vs. 3/4 ton? Could it be modified, etc.

Hey Scott, our steering stabilizer kit will fit all 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks that use the 3″ OD front axle tube and stock steering linkage. If your truck has a larger diameter axle tube or aftermarket (larger diameter) steering linkage the brackets and u-bolts will not bolt right on.
