Default Steering stabilizer recommendation

Hi all, I have a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK. It has approximately 12,000 miles, a small coil spacer lift, and 305/70R17's.... Anyhow my current stabilizer is leaking, any recommendations?

Some good reading:

You have to copy the link and paste it into your browser and fix the address. but that's a great article on the myths of "stabilizers".

Don't - Bilstein will cause a 2-dr to drift to the left due to the pressurization. Fine on a JKU, but not a JK.

are you having shimmies in steering? if so you have problems that need to be troubleshot before you go buy a bigger beefier stabalizer.

if you spend money on a steering stabilizer, make sure you get a relocation kit; i think most all of the folks i wheel with have the jeepswag one. also, how would you have ever noticed your stabilizer was leaking? i couldnt even tell a difference when i took mine off!

x2 do the woods relocation bracket. I busted two SS before I finally relocated it and no issues since. Any SS will do. You would see oil on the SS if it was leaking, also if turning becomes harder good chance the SS isn't working as it should.
