Does anyone know why bilstein steering stabilizers for e450 cost about a 1/3 of roadmaster reflex stabilizer? Is there is that much difference in performance?? $122 vs $350.thanks

We've installed many and have always had a preference for the Safe-T-Plus. Do they make one for your chassis?

First of all, Bilstein is only a heavy duty steering damper, much like the one you already have on the unit, only heavier duty. The Roadmaster Reflex has the same heavy duty damper, plus a heavy coil over spring (that works both ways, in and out) that returns your steering to the center, straight position, for obvious safety reasons, like a blowout. If you purchase the cheaper Bilstein, you are actually defeating your purpose for getting something, in the first place, and that is the elimination of play in the steering, that lends to wandering. The more expensive Roadmaster does just that. It works !!
