Default Steering stabilizer?
I have a 2" lift on my xj. And need a new steering stabilizer, are there different lengths? Or are they all the same?

They are all the same between xj, tj, and zj. That one will work for you.

Yes but the passenger side bolt can be a pain sometimes. I didnt have any problem with the driver side.

If you are replacing the bolt on the drivers side, be prepared to use a big hammer to knock it out.

Would this be a beneficial upgrade on my all stock XJ? Seems as the stabilizer I have is the original and probably pretty worn out.

Generally if you put the puller on and hit the side of the drag link with a small sledge the bolt will pop right out.
