No one makes a dual kit. There is no place to put them anyway. Just use a good single. If everything is right, you won't have any wobble problems.

First off there is a company that does its online go to www.rustysoffroad.com they have a kit under the steering section, and the reason for having them is to accommodate larger tires or to lessen the effect of death wobble.

I like the idea of a dual setup. It would half to help dampen the side to side motion that causes the DW.

or build the jeep right and replace the faulty component causing the deathwobble, and not have to run a stabilizer

It must have been my lift. With the lift I had the DW on tiny bumps. Now no lift and no DW.

Your XJ is sharp 89! I want my 99 to look about like that. I love the Bushwacker flares

There is the link to a dual kit. But you dont need it I agree with KTM. Build it right and you dont need one at all. As far as using them to cover death wobble I thinks its kinda like using a band aid on an axe wound. You just cover the problem for a while till it starts wearing out other parts.
