Its not the same one they already list on their website. Hence the reason why we're testing it. The info from King is that this version is suppose to have reduced pull over the previous models.

Pretty aware and we run it on many of our Jeep builds that choose to go that route.

Kings are made to order and valved how the customer wants them. Less pull just means different valving, same thing they have been offering for years. Set up is dependent and the users preference and typically tire size will change the appropriate valving. Is this just being put out so there is a "JK" specific that will be offered off the shelf?

Wait a minute. Are you telling me that the $420 Fox Racing 2.0 Performance Series ATS Steering Stabilizer or this new King SS is not going to make my Jeep steering smooth and better than the black stock one. Does it matter than I run 35's vs the factory 32's? What about if I am running 37's? A bigger, more expensive SS isn't better to keep my big tires turning and handling smoothly driving down the highway?

The stock one is adequate.

If you don't run one, nothing changes. Ok? Nothing. If you have handling issues, get your tools out and unbolt all your stuff, shake the jeep around and torque it all down again.
Bullshit....why does the factory waste money installing then? Everyone gets these chubbies parroting each other that they're not necessary. Stupid

The second people put on 35's or above suddenly you have to completely rebuild your front end and axle...yet the stabilizer can remain the same? Seems reverse logic

Now I totally agree they are no where near fairly priced ( fox or king ) but they are functional and advantageous to buffer big ass wheels input into the steering wheel....but why be pricks about it to a vendor?

Time people start thinking for themselves and not be sheep.

It will...people just get boners about SS'S yet they'll spend 7k on a whole new axle setup for 35's....lol

If you think we're being pricks, it's because this is posted in tech, there's places for vendors to advertise without all of us being "pricks". I would suggest if you're going to call us names and say we're stupid you post some actual tech as to why you think people need an upgraded steering stabilizer. As for the axle comments, this is not the crowd to be saying that too.

Yet again no tech... But I guess you've been here longer so I should just do what you say.
You misunderstood the axle comment, nobody that's said anything negative about the product is the type to spend 7k on a crate front for 35" tires, therefore you're comment doesn't apply to us...
