Default Aftermarket Steering Stabilizer

I am looking at getting an aftermarket steering stabilizer. How big a change or improvemnt will this make on handling? Is it worth it?

Advice and photos welcome.

An aftermarket SS won't improve your handling.... What my RC heavy duty SS did was that it reduced bump steer a little. Moreover the RC SS is relocated in a higher position than the stock one so it will be dificcult to hit a rock or something during off road.

X2 I also have the RC SS , relocate's it to higher position. But other wise you will not see much change in handling.

I was considering the Teraflex 9550. I am eventually looking at getting a 3" lift too.

You'll find that most of the people on here will tell you that the OEM stabilizer will do just as good a job as any aftermarker stabilizer so long as it is not trashed or leaking. There's plenty of other things you could buy for $100

2010+ Factory JK Steering Stabilizer is very good. They are the most responsive units that I have seen by far.
