I want to thank you for posting such a great explanatory pic--colors and all! I'm very inexperienced when it comes to working on vehicles, and have always been puzzled by the various parts of the suspension.
Appreciate the help!

The pic is from the DIY alignment write-up, in the write-ups area. Don't know who gets credit for it, but I like it as well.

In my opinion with 35's and 4 inches of lift, you need to keep it on there and replace it with aftermarket when it wears out.
The steering stabilizer helps dampen the side to side wobble associated with bumps.
The difficulty you are having turning the wheel is associated with the larger tires and your power steering pump. You could check the fluid level and even take it to the dealer if it is getting too bad. I have 37's and my power steering pump does not have any problems assisting me with turning the wheel.

My stock steering stabilizer went out puking oil about a month after I bought my Jeep. The Teraflex one was about the same price as a factory replacement and it is twice as strong. Dual stabilizers look nice but are overkill for 35's IMO.

i agree with you totally on the dual stabilizers, they look cool, but are they really necessary!
