So I have had my 35's on for over a week now (I know right!!) and no issues so far, I would, however, like to upgrade my steering stabilizer. I know on my old F150 which had a 4" lift and 35's, I ran a dual stabilizer and still had a few (albeit not very frequent) issues with death wobble.

My question is, with the JK's (and moreso the JKs running 35s) has a single stabilizer been sufficient, or do you need to run dual stabilizers?

 

u dont need a dual...if ur dialed in the stock is fine...but an upgrade will help with bump steer on potholes and tighten the feel on the steering. i got a rc dual for free at a raffle so i installed it...its an improvement over stock but the jury is still out. i figured it was worth trying out. the fox ats gets good press if u dont mind the price. ome is personally my fave based on my experience

 

The Bilstein 5100 Steering Stabilizer has gotten some good reviews as well.

If your steering is set up properly and everything is tightened down, you shouldn't have a loose feel in the steering or any bump steer. Technically if everything is perfect you wouldn't need to run a stabilizer at all. I know my current setup is hiding some death wobble that I need to get to the bottom of.

I know you aren't having any issues with your suspension, but if you were a stabilizer would hide it, not fix it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Unless your stock one is damaged or failing save your money.

 

I am on 37's and have run both of the options we offer:

RS5000



RS7000 MT monotube



For me and this setup I prefer the monotube with 37's and 60's.
I will be going to steering assist sooner than latter though.

Go to a high clearance set up too.

 

I would rather have one and not need it than need one and not have it (if I go do some off roading and cause some minor issues that need to be fixed, id rather be able to hide the issues for the ride home than have them annoy the piss out of me the whole ride back)

 

Good point. I run no ss and some rides home blow. But at least i know there's a problem

 

I had the stock with, dis just fine except in deep snow on an incline felt like little control. Went with 35s still seemed fine, added a Rancho dual stab felt "tighter", busted it all up one day been running without one for months now, does feel kinda sloppy but isn't really that noticeable. Fox ATS should be here this week I think. Ill post on here if it feels much different

 

love love the new Fox ATS Had dual Bilsteins before this, they were nice, but no comparison to the ATS

 

Had a dual Rancho stabilizer. Did not like it. Being a bit picky, but thought it was a bulky. Saw no difference between the dual and a single. Changed it out to Bilstein and really like it. Year into it and no problems. Really solid. Like the tie rod clamp... really solid!

With that said, I am going to upgrade to a Fox ATS. I like the adjustment piece. No matter what I do, the steering always feels loose compared to my other car. I like the idea of being able to tighten it down to my (skewed) preference.

I am getting new tires tomorrow and removed the stabilizer. Every time I work on the steering, I pull off the stabilizer, get it perfect (real close ) and then add back the stabilizer. The stabilizer can mask some problems that should be corrected.
