I agree.. I learned that the hard way like many people do. Throwing a steering stabilizer at death wobble only makes things worse.. however.. after having death wobble I am glad that I had one on there. At least thento you may still be able to drive your jeep home... but yes.. if someone is going to lift their jeep, throw bigger wheels and tires on... they need to look into learning what issues go along with that and this forum is a good source.

If you need a stablizer because the stock one died get yourself a BILSTEIN and be done with it.

Is it normal to have alot of vibration (mostly highway) at higher speeds (65 + mph) ? Can't say that I noticed this with the stock tires, or to this level. Could it be the mud tires causing this ? Thanx in advance

Adrom, I had to go to the field for 2 weeks and the wife stole the jeep and she washed it. So, maybe I should give the the under carriage a good power hosing. Thanx!

Also, what's a decent brand that's not outrageous in price. Thanx in advance
as many others have mentioned, you should not need a new steering stabilizer unless the one you have has been damaged and gone bad.

is the vibration speed related - in other words, is it more pronounced at specific speeds and if so, does it happen mostly at higher speeds or lower - does it oscillate? you really need to give us more details.

I put the rc duels on for the look it gave me. I like the look of two. But one is all you need.

Do you have aftermarket Diff Covers with the RC dual setup? Any issues with rubbing?

OK, so I am just going to reply to this thread instead of starting a new one. I have fluid leaking from my stabilizer. I have looked every where else and can't find where else it could be coming from. I just got my jeep back from the dealership yesterday from having the fuel tank replaced, it wasn't leaking before they worked on it, and now I have a puddle of fluid on my garage floor, and there is hydralic fluid all over the stabilizer, it's not engine oil. What brands do people recommend? I am going to stick with the single set up.
