I'm installing the pro comp oil filled steering stabilizer. Wanted the fox but 4wp said that since its gas charged it will pull the steering. Another option is the fox ats which is a through shaft that eiminates pull and is gas charged but they are 400$!! The pro comp is 40$

I took my stock stabilizer off and put a simple under $40 Pro Comp in its place. My stock one was busted, so my steering was sloppy. I'd hit bumps and she'd get squirelly. Now it's nice and tight I can go over bumps with only 3 fingers on the wheel. There is no pull either way and, the steering is tight! Is it better than stock not sure? But it's better than busted? Yes!!! Good luck

Just installed the 40$ pro comp stabilizer. This thing is great! I can't believe I was going to spend 370$ on the new fox ats. There is no pull at all being oil filled. The steering feels like stock again after 3.5"lift/35" tires. Highly recommend.

This makes me wonder if you have another issue in the steering. On road in normal conditions you should be able to drive without a stabilizer at all.
I haven't tried any aftermarket brands, but any that push to one side are not proper stabilizers. The stabilizer should be evenly valved on each side to dampen sudden steering changes from either direction. If it pushes to one side it will not dampen properly if the wheels steer in that direction.

But, it's very nice to have to dampen steering motion, especially when running wheels larger than stock.
