Default 1 ton steering with no stablizer?

I have seen a few people running 1 ton steering without a stabilizer and claim they have no dw. im getting my jcr steering installed today and don't have the clamp to mount the stabizer on the steering so im just trying to get away with using no stabilizer... what is everyones thoughts on this? I guess if worst comes to worst I will just have to order the clamp if I get dw

Stabilizer is like a bandaid fix for dw. Something else is wrong and it just masks it.

Steering Stabilizers do not prevent dw. If your steering is set up correctly, you won't have dw.

does having one change the feel of the steering at all? I know they're not death wobble cures but they basically do what shocks do for your suspension right? Does the steering feel better on road with one than without?

I haven't run a stabilizer in years and couldn't tell the difference when I took it off so I never put one back on. I run a homemade setup with heims now and still have no death wobble.

You get death wobble from bad steering angles and wore out parts.A stabilizer can help with bump steer and make bumps in the road smoother.
