Default Steering stabilizer

I'm about to put a 3.5 X factor on a rubicon. My question is do I have to do the steering stabilizer with this install or will it be okay for now. If not what all do I need

x2. I see a lot of wasted money on a piece of equipment that does very little.

No need to replace the stabilizer for the sake of this lift, but I would definitely relocate it. You can do that any time though.

I've been wheeling and driving between NY and NH all summer without mine on.

You could also replace it with an aftermarket if the aftermarket part is cheaper. The TF is $54 at Northridge. Not sure how much the OEM part is. The TF is much beefier, though I'd agree that's not really necessary (though I've seen a couple bent OEMs from off-roading. Never seen one of the current TFs get bent).
