Default Rough Country 2.2 SS

I just installed the RCX 2.2 dual steering stabilizer.

Very nice.
mounts independently of any stock mounting hardware and allows for adjustments and clears of others components (still to be tested on the trail)

My personal thoughts.

1. easy install
2. good design
3. good quality
4. stiffened steering
5. significant improvement
6. increased wheel travel(maybe its just in my head, but I made a turn I normally wouldnt have cleared)

I have one also, looks good, but I didn't notice much improvement because I think most of my other components are spot on. It is a nice piece of gear though. I haven't discoed with it off road yet so time will tell if I get any rubbing.

I have it, but I don't see any difference with my 33" tires... but it's a nice look on the Jeep

Those things work great on my Motorhome which gets bumpsteer when it hits the huge potholes in Ca freeways. Sure glad I have power steering on it too else it would be pretty tiring always overcoming the resitance of those shock absorbers.

I just installed mine yesterday. Looks good but I will have to remove it and reinstall the Rubicon express SS. The issue that I have is that the driver side shock is hitting the front track bar drop bracket on the RE kit that I have ..... I really wish things would work out for me once in a while.......

Good size tire....I am concerned now that you have a 35" tire as do I.

I noticed a siginificant improvement. If you didnt, leads me to believe maybe something was maladjusted on my rig.

Did the kit from Rough Country come with everything you needed to install it? And what happens to the stock steering stabilizer, does it use the same brackets or whatever? (To be honest I haven't had a chance to even look at my stabilizer)

comes with everything you need.
your old SS just get's put away with all the other parts you take off when modding.
