Default trackbar, discos, stabilizer

Hey yall so I think im going to pull the trigger on these three to strengthen up my steering components and discos for offroading. So I have come to the conclusion of these brands so tell me what your suggestions are. I also have a 6 in lift with death wobble if that helps.

Trackbar: Ironrock http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/10215.html or jks http://jksmfg.com/i-13306792-cheroke...ategory:381059

Discos: unless someone is telling me wrong I have heard JKS are the best http://jksmfg.com/i-13306724-cheroke...ategory:381013

And stabilizer
Amazon Amazon
or

Any suggestions comments or concerned are appreciated

Can't go wrong with jks tracbars I would just go with a company that sells a cheap beefy one, and save some money just buy a stabilizer from a parts store

I've heard those iro track bars are basically indestructible so I'm leaning more towards them right now. And the jks sway bar discos. Anyone have advice on a stabilizer?

I bought an Old Man Emu steering stabilizer just because I thought it would matter, but I basically spent $80 on something I could have gotten for $30 and perform the same.

They do not fix anything, all they do is try and hide a problem if one exists, many do not run any at all on their XJ's. But if you must a cheap one of any kind will do to fill up the space.

I used to agree completely and actually never ran one myself. That is until I fell into a pretty hardcore wheeling crowd. They told me while yes they're not necessary, they take a lot of brute of the side to side movement of your tires when wheeling, saving ball joints, u joints and other stuff.

I had my wheels wobble pretty bad when wheeling last time out felt like I was going to throw a wheel off haha. Put the SS back in after that and haven't had as extreme problems since.

For a dd though, depending on steering setup they still may help a little. But I agree on fixing any main problems like angles and such.

Thank you for that. I think I will start with the track bar and discos and check all the other steering components to make sure they are all tight and not loose and I am going to check the tie rod ends and such to make sure to get rid of the death wobble
