Default Fox or bilstein steering stabilizer??

Curious what your thoughts are? Should Fox stick to shocks, or is their stabilizer good quality? I've read on other forums that the Bilstein has a tendency to pull - isolated incident, or an issue? I'm looking at both brand's shocks, and as crazy as it might sound, I'd like to keep everything the same brand.

Honestly don't waste your money. The stock is fine. If you blowup the stock one try to find a used take off. They are better things to spend money on.

Buy the stock. I went through two after markets before WOL recommended the 2011 stock stabilizer (beefier than previous years). No problems since

I'm very happy running dual Bilsteins, overkill yes but handles great imo. I know that single Bilstein does pull to the side.Click image for larger version

I use the Bilstein and works great. I heard the FOX gives you a little pull until it breakes in.

I like my Fox, has not given me any troubles and it does not pull.

I'm sure the Bilstein or any other brand would do you just fine as well..

I have the single bilstein and it does pull to the left a little. I plan on moving to a dual setup soon to help correct the problem.

I have the bilstein and a stabilizer flip kit. pulls to the left a little bit, but after a few thousand miles it brakes in. Worth it in my opinion. 40 bucks more than stock, and way sturdier.
