Default Which Steering Stabilizer?

Hello

I have a 2.5 lift (running 35's) and using a Skyjacker Steering stabilizer. I know that my stabilizer is bad and was wondering before replacing it, which stabilizer I should get. Any recommendations?

Thank you

is it bent or leaking? if you are having other issues you will just cover it up with a new stabilizer. they are really not even needed to drive around. any one will work i happened to get a ome one with the aev high steer kit and it is on there now but i don't notice a difference over stock with a new one. my stock one got bent wheeling and i would recomend just relocating it to a woods bracket to keep it safe.

Get the RC dual steering stabalizer. My stock was bent so i just went with RC. Some say its overkill but I think it looks awesome and works great! Easy to install and No issues.

Well.....it is not bent...mechanic told and showed me that the stabilizer goes in fine but when u pulled it, it gets caught. In addition I noticed that my tire is rubbing against the frame when I turn to the right. Now, I am hoping it is just the stabilizer what gives me more play and causes the rubbing.

center your front axle and adjust the stearing stops. if we new what your mods were it would be easier to help. my guess is you have a lift without adjustable track bar up front. your stabilizer may be limiting your travel one way or another. the stabilizer its self is not the prob if it is not bent. the location of it may be or something else in the suspension is not set up correctly.
