The pull is annoying for sure.
Guys on here are always talking trash on the Dual steering stabalizers saying it for "Mall Crawlers", but wouldnt something like a Bilstein Dual set up fix this pulling problem since you have the stabalizers working together? Its a lot cheaper option than the new Fox. I will be throwing this on my new RK 5.5 Mid arm with 38x15.5x20 Mickeys just because the tires are INSANLEY heavy.

From what I have read on previous posts, the pulling is common with nitrogen filled SS like Fox and Bilsteins. That is why I went with the new Fox ATS so I could negate the dreaded pull.

What's your impression of the ATS? I've been thinking About making the same move. Is the range of adjustment pretty noticeable?

My Fox 2.0 stabilizer has a Shrader valve. Mine also pulls to the left. Thinking I'm going to adjust.......

I like it. Expensive, but I liked the principle behind it and that it is designed to be mounted above the tie rod so no additional clamps to buy. Depending on your adjustments, you will notice a difference in your steering response/feedback. I have Fox shocks also so I wanted to keep brand integrity. I think you would be pleased with it

I have a fox shock mountain bike pump and used it to drop the psi from 40 to 20. Wow! Huge difference!!!
