Hydraulic Steering Damper Kit for 1999-2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty
The Skyjacker 8099 is a hydraulic steering damper kit designed for the 1999-2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty platform, including the Excursion. Built to address the shimmy and steering wander that develops on lifted Super Duty trucks running larger tires, the 8099 provides precise hydraulic resistance at the steering linkage to keep the front end tracking straight on the highway and off-road. Installation uses the factory stabilizer mounting points with no drilling or fabrication required.

FAQ
What is the Skyjacker 8099?The Skyjacker 8099 is a hydraulic steering damper kit engineered for the 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty, and Excursion. It bolts to the OEM stabilizer mounting points to reduce shimmy and steering wander on lifted Super Duty applications.
Does the 8099 fit both the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty?Yes. The 8099 is compatible with both the 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty, as well as the 2000-2005 Ford Excursion, which is built on the same Super Duty frame.
Is a steering damper necessary on a stock-height Super Duty?Stock-height Super Duty trucks often do not require a steering stabilizer upgrade unless the OEM unit has worn out. However, any truck that has received a suspension lift and larger tires will benefit significantly from a quality hydraulic stabilizer like the 8099.
Does the 8099 install without modifications?Yes. The 8099 is a direct-fit unit that uses the Ford Super Duty's existing OEM stabilizer mounting locations. Standard hand tools and the included hardware are all that is needed.
What warranty comes with the 8099?Skyjacker provides a lifetime limited warranty to the original retail purchaser for the 8099, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Competition use and commercial vehicle coverage beyond one year are excluded.
What is the difference between the 8099 and 7299?Both are steering stabilizers for the 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty platform, but they differ in configuration. The 7299 is a dual-stabilizer kit for more aggressively lifted applications, while the 8099 is a single stabilizer appropriate for most standard lift configurations.
Does this product contain Prop 65 chemicals?Yes. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. A Prop 65 warning label is included with the product.
Can the 8099 be used on a Super Duty with a leveling kit?Yes. The 8099 is suitable for Super Duty trucks with leveling kits or moderate suspension lifts. For extreme lift applications with significantly altered caster angles, verify stroke length requirements with Skyjacker's technical support.
Installation Instructions
- Raise the front of the Super Duty on jack stands with the steering centered.
- Remove the existing OEM steering stabilizer by unbolting both end connections.
- Install the 8099 in the same position using the included hardware.
- Torque all fasteners to the values listed in Skyjacker's instruction sheet.
- Lower the vehicle and verify full steering travel without binding.
- Test drive and inspect all connections after the first 50 miles of use.
Proposition 65 Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and/or other compounds known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
