Steering stabilizer on stock JKU?
Anyone put an aftermarket dual steering stabilizer on a stock JKU Rubicon?
I would really like to tighten up the steering and take some of the sawing out of the wheel when driving.
Would a steering stabilizer do this? Or would it be a waste of money compared to the new stock unit?
Thanks

There are a fair amount of people that put duel stabilizers on, IMO that's just a Bling factor.
Unless the stock SS is damaged that should be good enough.you might look into the
Attenuator ,fairly new product that has been getting great reviews. IDK.. Good luck.

I have a different opinion...my SS was still good only had about 10k miles on it...I only had a 3.5 lift at the time when i put my FOX on...I felt a big difference...the jeep wouldn't wander as much and I found myself rarely correcting the wheel...I was dealing with a Death wobble at the time so I was just throwing parts at it (only reason I changed it)...no pull was ever felt...thats just my opinion...the fox shock was 80$ through quadratec

On a 2 door with a 2.5"+ lift and 35's, it is definitely not a waste of money.
I have a Fox ATS that came apart on me (Fox repaired under warranty)
I ran for about 10 days without it. My JK tracks straight as an arrow even without the SS, but when I started hitting potholes and rough road at 40+mph, it was a nightmare.
The bump steer was horrible and the 35's had a mind of their own.
If you're only going to offload at slow speeds, or if you have a JKU, yeah it might be a waste of money.
I appreciate it more on the lousy streets, than I do on the trails.
