Default steering stabilizer, do i need one?

i'm getting 33" tires soon. do i need an after market steering stabilizer?

I was thinking about getting the teraflex one to replace my stock part since i have a 2.5" teraflex lift and am very happy with the quality of their products.

I replaced it with a stock one, it handles the 37's fine.

My stock SS took a dump about a month after I bought the Jeep. I bought the Teraflex one and it's a lot beefier than the stocker. I think it works well with my 35" tires. You should be fine with the stock one until it breaks with 33" tires.

I bought the Teraflex as well, inexpensive and firmer than stock with 35s. I would have rolled with a Bilstein if I had a part number, but I was a little pressed to get it done.

ya i tend to agree with the notion of waiting till the stock part breaks, then upgrade!

i just wanted to make sure it wasn't NECESSARY with 33 tires. thx everyone

i'll probably buy one soon just cuz i think it'll look nice!!!!!!
