Default dual steering stabilizer

Would i be able to run a dual steering stabilizer on a stock set up untill i get my lift kit. I want to run the setup with the lift but dont know if it will work with a stock set up. any input is helpful.

more than likely, but why would you want to, seems overkill, just one more component to break

all what a dual stabilize does for you is mask a problem you already have. Not worth the money in my eyes.

IMO I'd just get an upgrade stabilizer only if you need it. Like if it was smashed to smithereens like mine was. I just got the teraflex one with the 4xFix relocation bracket. I had crazy death wobble and the teraflex shock did the trick, and the relocation bracket moves it up above the tie rod so that it won't get smashed again! It was relatively cheap and effective.

Installed the Rough Country Dual Kit I really like the stiffer feel, at first my jeeps OEM steering was alittle too light for me, this one did the trick.

The Rough Country dual-stab kit requires 2.5" lift minimum i think. I'm not sure about the others such as skyjacker etc.....

The reason for this is that most of the dual-stab kits relocate the stabs above the tie-rods. without a lift installed you could bottom the set-up out causing damage to your stabs and/or your tie-rods.

In addition to increased gnd. clearance, dual stabs should reduce ball-joint wear and tear if you are running oversized tires, and most kits are pretty cheap. For me that = cheap insurance. Plus it just looks better than the OEM shock.
