Thanks for all the replies.

I do notice a bit more movement in the steering wheel over uneven roads, but nothing to be concerned over. When I gusseted my axles, I had the shop set a bit more toe and fine tune my adjustable track bar. So far so good.

At some point, I'll deal with it.

Can honestly say it feels no different...

I lost mine on a trail once--didn't even notice it for about a week. Oops. I noticed a little more bump steer on big bumps compared to what I was used to. Wasn't a big deal.

Also if you have bigger tires it is almost a must or at least a must recommend.
Come on now, where did you get this info from the outfit that sells the dual ones? I'm running 37's and no steering stabilizer. The older vehicles never had them and till someone thought 4 looked good on a jacked up truck they wern't even a standard item.
