My truck drives PERFECT w/ no issues. I simply REMOVED the factory stab, and installed the ICON dual stab. It solved all of my issues.

Ive also installed several of these dual stabs on 05+ STOCK trucks, and the customers call back the next day, thanking me. I must be doing something right.
Did I strike a nerve?? I didn't mean to, I was just trying to help the guy out.

I stated in my post that I didn't know that much about it. I do know the the TTB set-up had the same issue. Was that stabilizer set-up the same design??
