Found out I had DW after my lift install, took it to a shop to fix it, still not fully fixed and they recommended a steering stabalizer :/

I recomond the rough country 2.2 SS. I got it put on a few weeks ago and my 08 2 door drives like new. I had a guy install it and took bout 45mins. Extreamterrian.com is where I got it and they have pretty good shipping

Look for Planmans DW troubleshoot write up. Steering stabilizers just mask the problem.

This is correct. A steering stabilizer is not a fix.

Absolutely true.

STEERING STABILIZERS DO NOT FIX DEATH WOBBLE. Stop letting shops and dudes tell you different. Fix it right!!!!

Yea i took my JK to the shop after getting 33s and I had a some slop in the steering and they said i needed a new stabilizer to help with the bigger tires. So was it wrong to get the stabilizer? and did you have the bolts swapped out? if so did it make a huge difference?
