Anyone running the fox 2.0 TS stabilizer?

SteerSmarts in the 1st pic and RPM Performance in the 2nd.

Which do you prefer? Looks like the RPM's are the Aluminum ones. Also noticed you went to a YETI Track bar?

Mopar 2 inch lift with 37s now. The 2.0 Fox stabilizer has been holding steady for the last year with this setup. It has been on 3 years now total since I first installed it. I have not had to do any maintenance or adjustments through all seasons here in the NE. I run 32 PSI cold in the summer and 35 cold in the winter - no issues. I don't off-road at all, but I have put 73k miles on my 2 Door Sport in three years. It's my DD.

SteerSmarts makes some awesome steering linkages and track bars, but it took some time experimenting with different arrangements of how the pinch clamps and their bolts were clocked. I have the full Metalcloak Gamechanger, which is extremely flexible and those clamps were catching on things I would have never expected.

Still, I prefer the RPM aluminum setup hands down. It's rated for 2.5 tons vs 1 ton, they won't hold a bend after hit, and they are overall lower profile without the clamps but still 3/8" thicker.

I also swapped out the SteerSmarts Yeti Pro track bar for a Metalcloak bar. The Yeti was hitting the ARB diff cover when the front end compressed when stepping down anything more than a moderate drop. Plus, I just wanted a more complete Gamechanger.

Honestly, I could've easily kept the SteerSmarts steering linkages, but I was already building up a pile of front end upgrades and rather than just getting a new rubber boot for the drag link (assuming I'd tear it when splitting it from the Pittman arm) I let it spiral into a linkage upgrade.

It's worth mentioning that after 40k miles, the bushings on the SteerSmarts linkages and track bar still looked brand new with zero signs of fatigue.

How did you like the Steer Smarts sway bar end links? Noticed you swapped those out from your original set up as well.

Yeah, I had it fully built up around my original 2" Dynatrac lift and 35's, complete with all 8 control arms and rear track bar from Synergy. Had it all dialed in beautifully, than realized I had been too conservative and underestimated the Jeep, so it all got pulled off and I started all over. It was purely a noob lesson that taught me a lot.

The SteerSmarts front sway links are incredibly, ridiculously strong and best used on a Jeep used primarily on road and on less extreme trails. They're just too stiff and offer next to zero misalignment if paired with a lift that can articulate more than what the factory or mopar lift kit suspension can provide.

Awesome. Thanks!

Installed, I hope it doesn’t hit anything tilted like that.

I just put my ATS back in with the Fox relocation components. Got it a while back and had it in the stock location but took it out for the recall and then never put it back in as I didn’t want to damage it wheeling. Took it wheeling last weekend and it didn’t hit anything. Have it slightly tilted forward. Mopar 2” lift and Toyo Open Country 37” tires.
