I have a PR44 with ARB locker. I'm thinking of going with a Hydro Assit or Fox ATS. Do anyone have any pro's or Con's on this.

 

Holy cow!! At $420 for that thing, no way!

First, a steering stabilizer that's not the OEM version is pretty worthless. If all the parts/pieces are operating properly in the front end, you don't even need a steering stabilizer. I haven't run one for a year or so. (35s, 3" of lift)

Second, the hydro assist is the next reasonable option after an OEM steering stabilizer, but I don't see that as a 'fix' for such things as death wobble. It's more needed for wheeling with larger tires (I think most will tell you 37s and above). EDIT - It will prevent problems with the steering gearbox and pitman arm.

Heck, at $420, with a little of your own work, you could have hydro assist for that price.

 

Agree with everything said above. $400 for a steering stabilizer is just stupid stupid stupid

The only upgrade to a stock steering stabilizer would be replacing a damaged stock one with another stock (or sub $50 one), or going hydro assist. Don't not waste $400 on that fox one

 

My hydro assist cost less than that steering stabilizer fyi, but i did do it myself...

 

What Hydro asset did you use? I'm running 37" I play with rock a little bite

 

There's a current thread on this topic where that's described a bit. Look at the threads that are active from the last few days (2-3).

 

Found it for ya.

I made my own kit essentially. Its all basic common items. Then i drilled and tapped my stock box. Theres a write up with part numbers on jko even if you want the easy route.

 

PR44s are designed to run with dual Fox ATS stabilizers and PSC hydro assist.

 

hahaha... man!, you're rough on the PR44s lately....
