Sterring suggestions help!
Have an 2001 xj im having an 6.5" long arm kit put on and 35s and re-gearing to 4:88. Would a single heavy duty rough country stabilizer work or is a dual a have to? Ive never owned a cherokee so this is my first one. Any and all tips and recommendations is greatly appreciated!

Ah. In that case, it's pretty much personal preference. I think the dual stabilizers are silly. The stabilizer in general is a comfort thing, try it with one and with out if you want to, you will see the difference and choose what you like best.

Other then that, go over it good and fix what ever you find wrong with it, and upgrade broken things as you see fit.

stabilizers reduce bumpsteer. What your shocks do for your suspension, a stabilizer does for your steering. If you drive your xj on the street theyre good to have. If you disagree you need to realize not everyone's xj is their p.o.s. beater wheeler

So I repeat myself.
Dual stabilizers are silly.
A stabilizer is a comfort feature for a properly setup suspension, some use them as a band aid for set up suspensions or failed parts.
Yes they are nice on most dd's.
It's your decision, and your preference, i simply listed options, my experience, and my opinion.

I dont disagree with anything you said. I currently dont run one since i have no way to attach it to my steering but i'd like to again in the future.
shouldnt be a band aid for whack parts but they have their benefits for the road
