Default Fox steering stabilizer worth it?

I found a local guy who has a new (11 miles on it) fox 2.0 steering stabilizer for sale for $70.

Are they worth it? Or is the stock one fine?

I have a 2.5 lift, 35's and such.

If its gas charged it will cause a pull.

Stick with the hydraulic OEM one if you need a steering stabilizer. They're half the price of that used SS you're asking about and won't cause a pull.

Just go with the stock one, or if everything on your front end is properly installed and balanced, run without one, they only make a difference if your front end has an issue.

I went from thinking I needed a duel. Now that I have everything setup correctly, I'm not even running a stabilizer. Feels better than before.

And the bonus is that if something starts to go bad, you'll feel it sooner since there isn't anything to mask the feedback.
