Default Steering stabilizer pro comp rancho?

So after I double check my Alignment I want to pick up a stabilizer in town and for price point either rancho or pro comp both a pinch over 60$. I don't have DW and maybe bump steer but its limited so I really feel its more of a jeep thing. Highway is smooth selling and adjust the steering wheel after like 5 7 seconds. But in crappy parking lots speeds bumps and bad county roads steering wheel shimmy not throwing me off the road just slight wiggle.

I do plan checking ball joints but when I replaced my stock shocks they were shot so figured replaced the stabilizer. I did see a vid that shows how u don't need a stabilizer and he was driving roads with pot holes and he said see its driving fine. It was but his steering wheel was shaking like mine. I think it's in my head somewhat chasing small problems cuz the jeep doesn't drive like a sports car or a Hyundai Tucson lol don't judge me. Anyways pro comp or rancho? I wanna install this weekend so ordering is not an option. Had to post twice iphone app on the fritz

I have a procomp and it works fine. An oil filled stabilizer will be the same no matter who 's name is on it.

I would check your front trackbar bolts and make sure they are tight. Also check the upper frame mount bolt holes to see if they are wallowed out.

What ever brand you go with, see if you can swing the extra for a "high steer" option to tuck it up and out of harms way.

Seems like a couple of places have more of a rancho selection.
I'll check it out thanks
