You don't even need one on the stock setup.... it is purely luxury only... as a matter of fact... DON'T put one on until you're sure it goes down the road straight and the steering is tight, there's no slop.

I just put a 1-ton on mine from JCR a week or two ago and I'm considering throwing my stabilizer back on. It's not bad at all without it but I daily drive mine and drive on the highway a good amount so it might make buying the bracket worth it for me. Plus I already have the shock from my old setup.

You guys are giving no reason to put one on. "My steering is fine without one, but i drive it on the highway so im gonna put one on anyway" not sure what that has to do with anything. My steering was fine and spent most of its 6 years on the highway without a stabilizer. Across the country and back, at every speed an xj is capable of, and every single day for a while. If its fine without one, its fine without one.

Hey, if these guys feel comfortable with it, what does it matter to you or the rest of us?

I mean, its their money, let them spend it how they want. At least they aren't being unsafe.

Stabilizers are dumb. Just felt that I had to add this.
