steering stabilizer
Unless you have added a 3" or higher lift and 33" or taller tires, the stock steering stabilizer should meet your needs. OR, if you wrapped it around a rock you might want to consider replacing it. Are you experiencing steering problems?
A thirty second search on steering stabilizer brought up pretty much everything you're looking for. IMO stay away from Supercrap... I mean Superlift. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ing+stabilizer

Sounds like a Castor issue but the RE comes with Arms?
Are they adjustable or fixed?
You can take the SS off and see if it has any "spring" left in it.
I plan on going with the Teraflex once mine starts giving me issues.

I agree with "wiredawg" it sounds like a caster problem. When you install a lift and add bigger tires you change the steering geometry. Caster is the most difficult to bring back into "specs" if your RE lift kit didn't include adjustable upper control arms. There are two indications that the problem is caster related. (1) the vehicle will wonder out of its lane, which can scare you and all the drivers around you and (2) the steering wheel will not return itself to center after you go around a corner. Both of these conditions are dangerous and can result in accidents. I recommend that you get it fixed ASAP by the shop that installed your lift kit. My experience is with TJs and not JKs, but here is a quick explanation. Caster is the rotation of the front axle to the rear of the vehicle. On a TJ it is about 6 to 7 degrees to the rear. Find out what it should be on a JK. Here's what I recommend that you do ASAP:
(1) Check to see that all 4 tires are properly inflated. Use the chalk test.
(2) Use a torque wrench and insure that all the lug nuts are properly torqued
(3) Go to a front end alignment shop that specializes in lifted vehicles:
- Insure that the wheels are properly balanced on their dynamic rotation machine.
- Have their tech check for front end damage
- Have them perform a front end alignment. This process is usually done in the following order (a) Caster, (B) Camber and (C) Toe in.
- If your kit didn't come with adjustable upper control arms, buy them.
Bottom line: A newly lifted Jeep with 35" tires is as dangerous as a loaded gun until it has been properly aligned.
Here are a few more questions:
- Did you change out your ring and pinion gears to compensate for the 35" tires?
- Did you install a transfer case lowering kit?
- Did you install a new, and modified, track bar?
- As I remember from installing my RE 3.5" lift, it is recommended that tires no larger than 33" be used.
- How about a new front drive shaft?
