steering stabilizers
 
Well, I just took my 68 4x4 burb out for a trip to the gas station and around the neighborhood for the first time since putting her back together. She has 33x12.50 tires, and manual steering. I ran over some bumps in the road doing about 25 mph, and man I got some really bad wobble! So much I had to slow down to 10mph to get control back, and remembered that years ago my Dad had some rinky dink stabilizer shock on there that I chucked when I tore everything down.
Does anyone have a recomendation as to the best brand and set up when it comes to steering stabilizers for old rigs like mine? I don't want something wild and crazy, since I want to make it blend in with the stock look of everything. So I will be painting it black to hide it and or make it look somewhat vintage.
If you have a picture of your set up, I would appreciate seeing the photo!

Thanks!

Back in my 4wd days Rancho was hard to beat. You might take a look under the later model trucks. Some of them are equipped with stabilizers.
