Default Duel Stabalizer

I have a 2010 2dr sport with 3.5 in lift, 2.5 budget boost rough country with track bar relocation and bigger sway bar links front and back. It has Rubicon Springs and Skyjacker Nitro shocks. I am running 33s. My question is??? I am thinking of adding a duel stabelizer. I tow an 1800 pound pop up camper. i am also adding a gobi rack which will have two kayaks on it. Do you think that duel stabelizer would be a benefit, or just upgrade stabelizer shock? Any advise would be excellent........

I had the rough country dual set up with their shocks and it felt just the same as stock. A month or so later both shocks blew out. I read on the forum about a dual set up and MOST people will say not to use them and so on. Well... I took my 2010 rubi to King shocks in Garden Grove and they took what Rough Country had and made a cool "looking" product actually "work"! So you can listen to guys who probably never had a dual set up and are just passing along negative comments from guys on the forum who have a title greater then NEWBIE. On the other hand if your rig is not a daily driver, don't waist your money.

I have no clue brother man. KING did their thing and I paid for them. All they said was their single set up was having issues due to the rigs pulling to the left so they were working on lowering the rating and since I had a dual, he would have both at the highest rating and run a longer, bigger diameter sock and rod. I'm no expert in shocks but that's what was done when I went in for shocks all around. Ill post pics when I get home but I tossed the rough country ones so I can't do a comparison.

I have a dual stabilizer, and it makes a huge difference if I am driving the river bed at Disney OK. The place is so pitted that you wear yourself out fighting the wheel all day, which is what you do if you have a single.

Also the RC dual stabilzer will relocate it above the tie rod cheaper than a single and relo brackets.

But a single is good other than that. Disney is maybe an hour a way, and so is what my build is geared to. Not trying to talk you into it, but there are places where a dual comes in handy.

If you don't have steering or suspension issues, you won't see any benefit from a dual stabilizer. If you do have steering or suspension issues, the dual stabilizer will just mask them for a while. Either way....you're not getting much of a benefit. Whether you're pulling a trailer or not, a steering stabilizer is not a solution to a problem - all it does is smooth out the road feel that you get into your steering wheel.
