Hello Kevin,
So the answer to this is yes and no, technically. While you do not have to drill any holes through the springs of your 2017 Ford F-350 to install the TorkLift StableLoad # TL89CR, you do have to drill small 1/8" dimples in the springs.
If that's a disqualifier for you and you want something that requires no type of drilling whatsoever, go with the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA22, which is a bolt-on install.

Hey Kevin, how did things go with the suspension upgrade on your F-350? Did you end up going with the TorkLift StableLoad or the SuperSprings kit? Your update could make it easier for others deciding between the two options.
