I want to know which ones work and which ones to stay away from.

I'm replacing my original that has 135,000 mi. on it, it must be shot by now.

I'm running RC. I have no complaints, but I'm sure there's better ones out there. I've heard great things about OME and Rancho.

I've got the original stabilizer on mine just because I'm too lazy to take it off. Its shot, all the fluid finished leaking out of it about a month ago. Once it comes off and the Serious steering that's in my living room goes on, I'm not putting another one on.

Get any ol stabilizer. I have a zone I think. They're awesome the first few days. It'll feel like a rand new vehicle then its right back to how she was. Stabilizers come in handy but a strong arm and proper driving you don't need one. I know ppl will argue but hell, I've been on both sides of the fence with this and I could have used tht money elsewhere

mines invisible. can't even see it. people always assume they need a ss because theirs has a lot of miles. mine never went back on when I upgraded my steering. I don't miss it.

I'm curious bout those. A dual one I can see making a good difference, double the support

That's good you like it but I'd advise everyone to not do that. Stabilizers don't do much of anything if all other components are in good shape. Spending the coin on a dual stabilizer is silly if you ask me

OP, go to any auto parts store and get a stock one. If you're wanting fancy, find your favorite sticker and put that on a stock stabilizer and call it a day

I have a KYB stabilizer, feels no different from the worn out stabilizer it replaced.

Really, if your steering is in good shape, you don't need a stabilizer. Whether you have one or multiple stabilizers, you aren't any better off than no stabilizer at all.

OK, I'm going to just put a Rough Country decal on my original stabilizer and call it a day.

Haven't run one in years. No need if your steering is right.
