Yea I know what some think about this and seen the arguments blah blah blah but I'm posting this for people who are interested in this so let's keep it to that.
After some time of hitting big potholes around here and having alittle wiggle in the steering wheel I decided to upgrade to the skyjacker dual steering stabilizer. After putting it on the wiggle after big holes is gone and the steering has a lot more sturdy and controlled feel.
It was easy to install and looks nice too!

 

A while back while installing jks lower control arms i performed the famous planman dw check. I didnt have any issues, but wanted to inspect the suspension anyways while i was under there. I then drove my jeep without a steering stabilizer for about a full tank of gas. All good...drove fine. Had a RC dual SS that i won at a raffle laying around. I installed it for the sake of curiosity. Steering felt tighter as you described. Ive since left it on for the time being. Ive scratched my head wondering what the stabilizer is "masking" that makes the steering inputs feel more solid. Others chime in...this is a puzzler for me.

sorry for the quasi-hijack...

 

I think you are confusing tightness with the amount of force needed to turn the wheel. All the stabilizer does is dampen the road and feel of the steering so you don't feel every bump and rock in the road. A stabilizer will not tighten anything up in the actual steering linkages.

 

Yea just absorbs the shock from the road so you don't feel it in the wheel. Feels different because your moving two shocks instead of one.

 

by tighter i meant less sloppy in feel than most typical jk steering...i should have clarified better.

i just thought this to be curious that it felt / drove better with it on rather than off...

Many consider the jeep SS as the non-essential appendix of the JK. Curious why many go without one after my experience. Perhaps I have placebo'd myself in my experimentation?

 

I look at it as it's there for a reason and after adding 35's there is a lot more for the stabilizer to handle.

 

I ran without one for two years with 37's in a town with more potholes then people. Mine felt fine, no slop, no looseness. Then my end on the track bar went and I got dw. I fixed the end and all was good again. I did put a skyjacker single on to help make the other ends last longer. I have run dual setups and the so called tightness as said above is just the resistance of the steering pushing on the two shocks.

 

Well that's the other purpose of the SS helps prevent the front end from excess wear by absorbing some of the shock so it doesn't jar the steering components and everything hooked to them from rattling apart as fast over time.
