Default Steering Stabilizer

Looking at getting one of the steering stabilizer kits. What do you guys think? I was looking at the Teraflex and ORV ones but im open to anything.

Teraflex is cheap and works. The stock one is fine too. I'd worry more about relocation than the shock itself.

I have the Rough Country single and love it. Its beefy as hell and has a larger diameter shaft than the others. A lot of folks are running the Rough Country duals. Some say that is overkill.

This is a long thread but a good read.

I went with a black diamond, it is very beefy, re-located to a higher position and cost less than 70 bucks.

As long as you just want to augment steering stability and not provide stability per se any of them will work. IMO, your wasting your money on dual SSs.

The TF is a good choice.

i have the terraflex. i blew out the stock one and replaced with skyjacker. that started to blow out ( could be because i had DW at the time) I replaced it with terraflex and it works fine. I installed the SS backwards with the piston on the drivers side end (piston hidden behind the tie rod) to prevent the piston from getting hit with road debris

yup, what he said. nothing wrong with the stock stabilizer and i wouldn't even bother replacing it if it aint damaged.
