Default steering stab

So I jacked up my skyjacker dual steering stabilizer yesterday. I really didn't feel like I hit hard at all. Broke one of the U bolts on and twisted the center bracket and tweaked one of the stabilizer arms, bent the U bolt on one side of the stabilizer maybe I hit harder than I thought? I was in all reality trying to take a poser shot (don't judge you all do it) Anyway, it took a lot of work to get it apart and off. So I'm looking for a new one what's the better option? Rubicon express, fox, or bilstein? Not planning on doing a dual again.

Whatever is cheapest, Not a very vital component anyway. I run the OME, any that you listed will "work" just fine.

Having read people's experiences with the $55-130 "flavors," I went with OME with the relocation bracket. Our JK had 50k miles and thought it a good time to do so

The only use I've found in the SS was climbing up hills in the snow, when I had the stock one on my tires would push whatever direction they wanted reguardless of what I did with the wheel and thw back tires just pushed them along, not a good value. That went away with the dual installed, so I definitely want a new one before winter or mudding again.

Any single with a relocation bracket will work fine. Keep in mind that some of the gas charged units may pull to one side, so research whichever one you go with.

I've been banging my rough country dual stabilizer up but not that bad (fingers crossed) a Fox single is on my wishlist!

Default Bilstein

I had a dual and replaced it when I put a Currie Steering system on my Jeep. No room for the dual! Ended up going with a Billstein 5100 with a Synergy Suspension tie rod clamp. Could not be happier. Pulled a bit in the beginning, but fine after a few weeks. Looks brand new after about six months.
