Sorry for the delayed reply. Laptop is in the mist of repair.

I had to drop the PSI to 50 in the Fox SS to eliminate the pull to the left.

They come 150 PSI shipped and it will set off your ABS and Traction Control.

But after dropping it down to 50 it was worth the penny.

Yep, one of my friends has the fox ss and he had to drop it down to 50 as well. I have the tera 5500 and it just wont get the job done so I plan on getting the King ss since I want to match with my king shocks and king is always up on performance with fox.

Don't these HD stabilizers put extra stress on the steering box?

I put a Bilstein on about a month ago, the Jeep's been pulling to the left ever since. Tried to contact Bilstein for it but was redirected to the distributor. I just ordered a Teraflex SS today as a replacement.

The bilstein is gas charged, correct. Since it mounts to the axle then the other end to the tierod, it stands to reason its gonna push to the left. Not too bad if you have a right hand pull and it counters it. Kinda sucky if it gives you a pull or rather push when u don't have one though.

thanks 'Plukethe2' and 'AveryR' !; I'm readin this and think you've just inadvertently helped me out because I've got a rather envious-yet-fubared scenario goin on...
I was a quick responder to a craigslist offering of a brand new Synergy hi mount stabilizer relocation kit together w/ a King 2.0 10" stabilizer and got it for $110 total . that is over $300 saved ( I never woulda paid for its new price ) and my '11 JKUs OEM had been beat the crap up on out Tennessee rocks for the past year so I met the dude (he was loaded and a mall crawler that had every high end piece imaginable and had never taken his '12 rubi off of asphalt ) and snagged the deal of my year . the only downside is , after mounting and during install I could tell the beast of a stabilizer was a bit more pressurized than allowed for "50/50" flow and I have a left pull . it is not drastic but I am hyper OCD about my 35" Cooper STTs tread wear and don't want to unevenly rub any down so I'm thinking this thing must be set at 100-150 psi and if I read it's pressure and let it down to 50-60 I'll be where it needs to be set. so, thanks ! I'll report the results ....
