You're up'n'out early! Probably trying to lay on the pavement while it's still below 120.
I found this YouTube on how to tweak the centering of a Safe-T-Plus for another OP awhile ago.
I label Ford's OEM unit, the Monroe, Bilstein etc. "shock absorber looking things" as "Dampers" since they don't have anything to push the helm back toward center.
There's Steer Safe from Deming NM that's a collection of brackets and springs. It provides centering only, but I think the OEM or other Damper can stay in place.
S-T-P and Roadmaster RSS have both "shock" and "spring" so I call them "Stabilizers."
John Henderson told me that adding an S-T-P unit (the "140" model for Class C) is equivalent to bumping Caster up to 5-degrees. Got one out of his stock and held it up for me to see.
You're a very objective kinda guy, so I look forward to your road test report!
