Bilstein seems to be a popular vote around here. Also, I'd definitely check into getting one of the relocation brackets from jeepswag.com to keep it out of the way.

Well.. I have a dual skyjacker because I like a stiff feeling to my steering. It helps with bump steer. I have a single sky jacker on before this one and I liked it. A lot of people on here don't like sky jacker shocks/lifts. If I didn't go that route I would spend the extra cash and get a tereflex, old man emu, or a bilstien.

When mine started puking fluid, I replaced the stock steering stabilizer with a Teraflex one, the Teraflex was much, much stronger and larger.

I replaced my defunct stocker with a TeraFlex one. The stocker imploded somehow with a funny little dent...

Been fine ever since. If i had a spare stocker I would have used that. (I did in fact run it for months without one installed at all.)

I dont believe this is an area where a lot of $$ really nets very little difference. Lots of people running stock ones with lifts and oversize tires without issues.

I had s similar problem with a dent in my stock stabilizer and I had to replace it.

Northridge has a kt for $99 that contains a stablizer relocation bracket and a TF stabilizer. The bracket alone goes for ~$60.

If you weld the bracket it will also gusset the trackbar mount on the axle. To me this is a good deal, reinforces your trackbar, moves the stabilizer out of the way, for under $100 and a little labor. Better investment than a dual stabilizer

Thanks for the recommendations guys; I think I am going to go with the Teraflex. I know that many people on here trust their products.

I'd still also recommend the relocation bracket if you don't already have one. That will keep you from having to replace it again!
