Superlift 55-10-92690 Dual Steering Stabilizer System
Product Information
The Superlift Dual Steering Stabilizer system is designed for 2005 and newer Ford F-250 / F-350 Super Duty 4WD vehicles with a minimum 3-inch lift. This system helps improve steering stability by reducing vibrations and minimizing bump steer. It includes stabilizer mounts, stabilizer cylinders, and necessary hardware for installation.
Important Notes
- Installation should be done by a professional mechanic.
- Prior to installation, thoroughly inspect the vehicle’s steering, driveline, brake systems, and suspension components for any wear or damage.
- Ensure the overall vehicle is in excellent working condition and replace any worn parts.
INTRODUCTION
Installation requires a professional mechanic. Prior to beginning, inspect the vehicles steering, driveline, and brake systems, paying close attention to the suspension link arms and bushings, anti-sway bars and bushings, tie rod ends, pitman arm, ball joints and wheel bearings. Also check the steering sector-to- frame and all suspension-to-frame attaching points for stress cracks. The overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition; repair or replace all worn parts.
Read instructions several times before starting. Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they install. Read each step completely as you go.
NOTES
- An arrow on diagrams indicates which direction is toward the front of the vehicle.
- A foot-pound torque reading is given in parenthesis ( ) after each appropriate fastener.
- Do not fabricate any components to gain additional suspension height.
- Prior to attaching components, be sure all mating surfaces are free of grit, grease, undercoating, etc.
- A factory service manual should be on hand for reference.
- Use the check-off box found at each step to help you keep your place. Two “” denotes that one check-off box is for the driver side and one is for the passenger side. Unless otherwise noted, always start with the driver side.
PARTS LIST … The part number is stamped into each part or printed on an adhesive label. Identify each part and place the appropriate mounting hardware with it.
*( Note : Shock boots, if desired, purchased separately)
FRONT DISASSEMBLY
-
PREPARE VEHICLE
Place vehicle on a level surface with the tires pointed straight ahead. Put the transmission in Park or Low gear and set the parking brake. -
CENTER STABILIZER
DIAGRAM 1] Remove the two differential cover bolts closest to the passenger side. Install the center stabilizer mount (#55-30-92690).
Secure the bracket using the two supplied 3/8” x 1” bolts and washers. Do not tighten at this time.
13/16 x 5-1/2” u-bolt around the differential housing and through the “30” bracket as shown. Secure using the supplied 3/8” washers and nyloc nuts.
ighten the 3/8” hardware (30).
DRIVER SIDE STABILIZER MOUNT
- DIAGRAM 2] Place the driver’s side stabilizer mount (#55-10-92690) as shown and fasten with the supplied 3/8” u- bolts. Do not tighten at this time.
- The center of the driver’s side stabilizer mounting hole in the “30” bracket should be 19-1/2” from the center of the mounting hole on the “10” bracket. Make sure the top of the “10” bracket is level with the ground, then tighten the 3/8” nuts (26).
PASSENGER SIDE STABLIZER MOUNT
The passenger’s side steering stabilizer mount (#55-20-92690) installs as a mirror image of the driver’s side. Follow step 3 and install now.
STEERING STABILIZER
-
Some cylinders come with the bushings installed, if not, install the bushings, sleeves, and shock boots (if applicable) on the steering stabilizer cylinders. Position the end of each stabilizer’s shaft end below the mounting tab on the center bracket then place the badge plate (#55-40-92690) below the stabilizers and loosely secure using
the supplied 1/2” x 2-3/4” bolts, washers, and stover nuts. The bolts should be installed from the top. Do not tighten at this time. -
Position the other end of the stabilizers below the “10” and “20” bracket and secure using the supplied 1/2” x 2-3/4” bolts, washers, and stover nuts through the brackets and the stabilizer eyes. The bolts should be installed from the top and the washers should be positioned under the nuts.
-
Tighten all of the 1/2” hardware (57).
-
Install the Superlift Badge on the “40” bracket and the decals on the stabilizer cylinders.
FINAL CLEARANCE AND TORQUE CHECK
Cycle the steering lock-to-lock and carefully observe that there is proper clearance between the stabilizers, bracketry, and steering linkage, and that there is no binding or hesitation felt in the steering wheel. Check for proper steering operation and double-check all fasteners for proper torque. Re-check all fasteners for proper torque after the first 100 miles.
SUPERLIFT BADGES
- This kit is packaged with a small Superlift badge for a location of your choosing and one large badge for the front crossmember. Prior to installation, use the supplied alcohol pad to eliminate all soap and or other non-adhering residues that may impair adhesion, thoroughly clean the entire area of placement.
- Remove the adhesive back and place the large badge on the front crossmember, using the holes for alignment. The adhesive on our badges is pressure sensitive and must be applied using pressure on all areas of the graphic. Like any PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive), it can take up to 72 hours for the adhesive to fully cure. Once the badge is in place do not peel it up, this will diminish the adhesive properties and could result in damaging the badge itself. Also included are two rivets to be used for extra security.
- To keep your Superlift badge in “like new” appearance keep the badge free/clear of solvents and chemicals that could cause the adhesive to dry or dissolve. This includes gasoline, diesel fuel, paint thinner, and alcohol. Soap and water is all that is needed for cleaning. Degreasers can be used sparingly and hand wiped/applied if needed, although not suggested.

Important Product Use and Safety Information / Warnings
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll over.
Offset, as much as possible, what is lost in rollover resistance by increasing
tire track width. In other words, go “wide” as you go “tall”; always use as
wide a tire and wheel combination as feasible to enhance vehicle stability. We
strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility, that the vehicle be
equipped with a functional roll bar and cage system. Seat belts and shoulder
harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover
may occur.
Generally, braking performance and capabilities are decreased when
significantly larger / heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into
consideration while driving. Also, changing axle gear ratios or using tires
that are taller or shorter than factory height will cause an erroneous
speedometer reading. On vehicles equipped with an electronic speedometer, the
speed signal impacts other important functions as well. Speedometer
recalibration for both mechanical and electronic types is highly recommended.
Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or aftermarket parts to increase
vehicle height over the intended height of the Superlift® product purchased.
Mixing component brands is not recommended.
