If nothings wrong with my stock stabilizer do I need a aftermarket one with a 3" lift and 31" tires on a 99 XJ ? getting DW at 50-60 mph

I have ran many. MOOG was designed for DW. I think it is the best hands down. I currently run it.

Althought, I bet your alignment is off.

A steering stabilizer is a band aid. Not even needed if your steering and track bar are in good condition. SEARCH for a thread on DW. Tons of info already here. FULL Alignment would be one of my first steps.

Steering stabilizers dont cause death wobble, they mask the problem thats causing death wobble. I personally havent run one since 2005

Bent rim? Unbalanced tires? Bad track bar angle? Need alignment? Warped rotor? Ball joint? U joint? Check it all the stabilizer is a band aid like someone said.

What is DW?

Death wobble

What other brand dampers have you used, and what is it you like about the Moog damper compared to the others?

CrawlerXJ

More resistance when you pushed on it. About 20%. Steering is tighter. Again, I had no DW. Just replaced it with my lift.

If a shimey shock is not needed on the jeep then please tell me why it comes from the factory with one?

Agree

Good question. While I get that a steering stabilizer can mask problems, typically the Jeep does not come from the factory with a death wobble. My understanding the reason for steering stabilizers is to absorb deficiencies in the road surface for better control when the road is not silky smooth.

The factory engineer that makes more than a Walmart employee found a stock vehicle needs one. Thus, it came with it.

Correct.
