All depends on what you are looking for. What's wrong with the Bilstein you have? How big of tires do you have? Best on market right now is the new Fox unless you go PSC but that's overkill for 35" tires

Fox Racing Shox 983-02-070 - Fox Racing 2.0 Performance Series ATS Steering Stabilizer for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

Bilstein is a great company but because of the stabilizer being a gas shock "most" Jeep owners are getting a pull from it

I have noticed a pull to the left and little wobble on bumps. I am running 35's with a 17 in wheel

Stay away from gas stabilizers then. I'd do TeraFlexs new one or OME since you're having pulling issues. Those will be a ton cheaper than the new Fox and you will be happy with either

X2 on OME. Make sure they corrected their "design flaw" in having to short of a dust boot.

The fox pushes also. I haven't used one for about a year. Can't really tell any difference without it.

Correction... The fox 2.0, not the new pass thru, pushes.
