What is rubbing? Just the tire on the fender? Add taller bumpstops, don't go for more suspension height to 'fix' it.

You already found the problems, but no, a leaking stabilizer wasn't the cause. But the stabilizers might have helped to mask the issue. If one of them is blown, just get rid of it and go for a single setup.

And yes, you will find many comments about excess stress caused by a drop pitman.

save yourself some money and just get an el cheapo, a stocker if you can find a free or near free take off. The JK doesn't need a SS anyway, so a dual or super expensive one is a waste of money, plus you can get hydro assist for under 400 anyway so if youre going to spend that much $$ might as well do that.

The most cost effective hydro I have seen is the Redneck Ram from West Texas Offroad. $550 if you have one of the boxes they can modify, $750 if you need a new box.
