While installing new Bilstein 5100's - I decided to give their new steering stabilizer a try - love it. Running 35's and lift and it does a much, much better job than the OEM one.

Is your ride a JK or a JKU? I have a 2-dr and had to replace the Bilstein because of a persistent leftward drift caused by the pressurized nature of their stabilizer.

What if you replaced the SS on a stock JKU? Would there be any benefits or do you need to have 2"+ lift and 35+ tires before there is a noticeable change?

Wow that's strange. That would have been my next stabilizer...

I run 38" tires and no steering stabilizer. No problems at all.

I second that. Even the ones that are paved stink.

Just make sure you got a lift high enough to support them. But they can help with higher lifts and they look cool also
