Most will tell you waste of money, but I have one and think it adds some value. I have dual billsteins.

The last post is pretty acurate. Dual bilsteins make a great set up.

Does billstein make the mount kit or did you buy or make it separate?

Putting 2 on is twice the waste of money. I'm sure there's some salesmen on here that would be happy to tell you otherwise. I haven't had one on since May 2010 and haven't needed it. Where in Alberta are you, I have a brand new Fox in the garage I'll sell you cheap.

The mount is actually made by superlift. Luckily, it says superlift on it nowhere.

Told ya. He may be 100% correct. Who knows. With 37" on my jeep it was a small price to pay for something that might help.

I Agree. When i did my lift I swapped the tierod and the stock unit wouldnt fit. The Jeep ran great while I waited for my brackets and Fox SS. $250 later the pressurized SS pushes my Jeep to the left. Not the best money I spent.

The push to the left part is one of the reasons duals were thought up. Even push/pull in both directions. Not saying it would have helped Slupe at all, just my reasoning for purchasing a dual.

I understand the dual idea and the push seems to have faded over the last month since the install. I was just saying it handled awesome without that spending $250 was painful for what I perceived as unnecssary. Spending on the second SS to fix the first unnecessary one... Not for me. My $0.02. They look cool.
