Trust me you need a better stabalizer if you put on 35 or taller tires. The stock ones cause a nice little shimmy. I bought the skyjacker stabalizer and they show you how it should be installed. But; like some other post, the only thing that matters on the install is whether it rubs or not. But they do get rid of the shimmy, Jimmy.

I dont think so. I ran my 37,s for a month without a ss with no shimmy as you call it. Like the captjay said if you have a shimmy under normal driving conditions then you have a front end problem.

Default It matters

hey mates, BLUF: it matters… I’ll post photos later when I get it lifted but basically some idiot put mine on backwards & I’m lucky it hasn’t killed me yet… again photos & or video to follow… basically there’s a bolt that has been digging into the body of my hydronic cylinder

BTW: Calling Jeep (Chrysler) about your Jeep is like asking an infant to do your homework. They just stare at you clueless. Kind of like this .
