Fox ATS or Teraflex Falcon 2.2 stabilizer?

[Eischman]

So here’s my deal, I put 315/70/17 KOs (8.5”rims)on my Rubicon and right away I could tell the steering was not as good as stock, (wonders a bit) I also have the Teraflex 2.5 spacer kit that I was going to install to get the clearance back for light to moderate off roading, problem is this is also going to be our retirement vehicle in a couple years and if the wife doesn’t want to drive it after the mods, what’s the point of continuing, so, will one of these steering stabilizer get the wife to drive it again or not?

This one will……if you have your caster right, and don’t have overinflated tires, etc….

I installed the Fox stabilizer after I went to a 35"x 12.5" tire with a 2 1/2" lift. It helped big time. The tire guys overinflated the tires initially and as a result it was very squirrelly. I dropped down to 30 psi and that also was a huge help.

Hello, Mr. R Thought you always liked your FOX ATS. When did you change out? Thought you didn't like that new exact center because sat to low? Curious minds want to know.

ok.. so wife test means the most...
i've been playing with various stabilizers (steersmarts, falcon 2.2 and the roadmaster)
a few weeks ago i replace my steersmarts stabilizer the roadmaster and my wife was "ok" with it, i expected a bit more, but its her daily driver so it's her call she said.. "eh, leave it"
this past weekend i replaced our falcon 3.3s with Fox 2.0s because they were were just too stiff for our liking, while i was under there i took off the roadmaster and put on the falcon 2.2. she called me at work the next day.. she liked the suspension feel (the fox shocks are quite a bit more plush) but she doesn't like at all what i did to the steering. so it looks like i'm going back to the road master. (i MAY exchange it for a bit firmer one)

a bit of background..
i was very skeptical about the roadmaster, their threads here are a bit offputting and a little over the top, and the whole "we filled them wrong" mishap was a bit annoying, BUT.. the product seems viable. i'll see how this second round with it goes this weekend.

@Eischman if you're interested in paying shipping both ways you're welcome to test my falcon after i remove it.

Hey bud….. love the Fox ATS, it works great…… I had my doubts about this EC at first, then I tested it and found that I like it better. I didn’t care about where it mounted, as I knew I was gonna relocate it to the tie rod anyway.
There’s a couple reviews I did on it in my build thread……….

So you can just move any of these around anywhere you like?

I would actualy recomend going with the FOX Performance Series 2.0 IFP Steering Stabilizer instead.

Discount tires just mounted them 2 weeks ago and said they inflated them to what the tag says inside the driver door, I’ll check that, If I remember right it’s 37psi (I have the C load range)

Lol…… no, just up on the tie rod, so they don’t get bashed on the trail…just google search relocating steering stabilizer on JL , there’s some pics and vids on it…..

 

[Eischman]

I know sometimes just because it’s double the cost doesn’t mean it’s twice as good but most of the time it is, that’s why I picked the two I have listed , I don’t care about the price I just need it to work.

 

[Eischman]

…and their adjustable!!

Consider the 2.1. You'll (very) likely stay on the middle setting 100% of the time.

Hey, don't be LOL at me. Hurt my feelings. I just looked at mine and I know I don't have the same as you under mine but I don't see how I could even move any around.

Ok just watched video and he used the Synergy Relocation Steering Stabilizer to move Fox SS up on the bar above it. It looked like he used a different bolt to attach it to the tie rod. He didn't use the same bolt he pulled from tie rod ??????? It was not the Fox 2.0 ATS it was just the normal Fox SS.

OK just watched 2nd one for the Fox 2.0 ATS and he put his on opposite the first guy. The first guy put the base (bottom) to the right and the 2nd 2.0 guy put base(bottom) to the left toward shock. Why the 2 different ways?????

Ok just watched one for the Jeep JL Wrangler Steering Stabilizer Fox Performance Series 2.0 TS Installation Totally different one. His base went shock side too. So as you said the ATS is better than these ???
