Default One ton swap steering stabilizer

Looking to add a steering stabilizer to my jk. I have a 2002 F250 Dana 60 front end and steering components. I am wanting to add a steering stabilizer and with it not being an oem setup I was wondering if anyone had the same setup and had any input on adding one. I have no steering issues and can run 75 mph with one had on the wheel with 40s but would like to reduce some of the road vibrations and such. Thanks in advance.

You should be looking at hydraulic assist not a steering stabilizer running 40's and tons.

I am running a big single ProComp on mine for now. The PSC kit was just a little more that I could swing after building the axles and buying the wheels and tires. It's on my short list though. I was just fine without the stabilizer, even at 70+ on the highway, but it feels better with it. I just mounted it where my steering ram will eventually go. Mine is the newer style 60 (2006) with the Artec brackets, but you should be able to run something similar. There is a picture in the steering ram thread.

It is not a must have for me either. I can run 70 plus without issue I just think a steering stabilizer would make those speeds more enjoyable.
What hydro assist would you recommend?

I like the psc but not the price. There are options out there for as little as $300 so its not like it will break the bank if you can afford to run tons and 40's. Get that thing off road at 8 psi and tell me it is not needed.

Thanks for the input I will look into it. I actually just bought the Jeep and am looking to make it more Offroad cape able as well as on road. I picked it up already one ton swapped with 113k miles for $15,500 so I don't believe I did too bad there.
