Default Steering stableizer with 33 x 12.5?

I know its not needed but if it will make the handling alittle better im willing to spend the 44 bux for the tera flex one. Waste of money with 33'?s or should i go ahead and do it?

went from stocker with 35's to a teraflex... I do notice a diference... Meaning less bumpsteer. I think my stocker was dead. when you do this mod you should also think about a relocation bracket too. Was worth the $40 ro $50 in my mind. Would I do it with 33's? I think my stocker was fine with my rubicon 32.x size tires.

totally unnecessary. to get better handling, you need more positive caster and the best way to do that is with adjustable lower control arms.

Very true....In fact, I think WOL posted a write-up on this somewhere. The SS is really only for bump steer. You should also make sure you are running the right tire pressure too.
