We ran without for awhile, no issues whatsoever. Since it came with one, the wife wanted it on there, so I replaced it. Made absolutely no difference in handling.

Steering stabilizer upgrades are a waste of money and a dual will just place more stress on the steering box and numb the steering feel. Raising it makes sense to keep it out of harms way.

Default why is it then

that so many love the fox 2.0 one thats adjustable ??? just curious , mines still stock ive been concidering
upgrading my 2 door 2012 with something that may help that slight sawing effect u get on a 2 door
i mean mine dosent wander but i hear they help tighten it up a tad . Im in no rush to shell out 325 or so , at this point . I just hear they make a big difference to those who bought them . if it helps some , ill prob pick one up when the cash is freed up . if its a waste maybe theres one better than stock

im not a fan of most stock parts that come on a jeep to be honest , jeep replaced the one that came on mine at 20,000 miles under warranty they said it failed & that some just do that . that concerns me because its not something you check often to see if its failed i like the idea of adjustments but dont want to cause problems in the steering box either being stiffer than stock

The fox is gas charged so I'm making it a dual out of my current rough country dual and a set of synergy clamps. This way they force back against each other rather than my steering.

The Fox ATS is adjustable. I run it and really like it.

Why do people like rough country lifts? Why do people put dual steering stabilizers on? Why are the same questions asked every week? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? We may never know the answer to any of these questions. People will talk about how great the fox ats is even after it falls apart.

Full hydro is the only way to go. It's like having dual stabilizers that steer for you.

i also rode it with out and didnt see a change , but the 2 doors do seem to have a tendency to make you steer back and forth with the wheel a bit i notice ( i guess people refer to this as sawing effect) id like to reduce it if i can . Not that im really having a issue with it but id prefer none . Aim and go rather than any left and right steering would be nicer. Not 100% sure that would really prevent it completely . That just seems to be part of driving a jeep id assume . ive had trucks that did this too its not problematic
There easily pushed around with winds . but that 1" inch margine of left and right going down straight road
id like to stiffen up. They all do it right off the show room floor so its not just mine.

Ats seems a little over priced though , i dont want to spend it and see no results just a empty pocket after buying one . Are there a lot breaking #? i only heard of one guy here on the forum .
