Default Recs on steering stabalizer

I am going to be replacing my steering stabilizer that is worn out. What do you guys rec. Do the dual stabilizers make a big difference or would you go with a quality single stabilizer?

Thanks for the advice. I just put on a billstein stabalizer and it made a HUGE difference.

I've got a 2011 JK and the stabilizer went out (went bad) at 25k and felt like the frnt end was coming apart on hiway after hitting a seam in the road, never had experienced this before on a vehicle. Still under warranty so had replaced but would love to hear if aftermarket would be an improvement overall. Also was wondering about the double set-up as well. I've got a procomp 2.5 and 35's with the stock stabilizer.

Find another stocker or whatever cheap one you can find. A properly set up front end doesnt even need a stabilizer, and is known to hide problems like shimmies/DW/etc.

Dented the stocker, gone through two Teraflex (they replaced one for free), and a Procomp that started leaking after a couple weeks. Recently added a Synergy relocation bracket and just ordered their stabilizer. I wouldnt bother with one, but Im using it as a bandaid trying to fix my DW/shimmy problem. Swapped out the track bar bolts already, stopped the DW but now I have a shimmy when I hit certain bumps.
