Fox vs Teraflex Falcon Steering stabilizer

[D5grvty01]

I have a JLU Sahara with no lift, just a leveling kit and falcon shocks. 90% daily driver and the rest off road.

which steering stabilizer would be a better option?

Falcon Nexus 2.1 or something from Fox?

I'm happy with the teraflex 2.1. As long as you don't upgrade to synergy suspension parts the tera flex will work fine otherwise you would need the fox set up. Only reason why I chose the tera flex is that I heard complaints that the fox was under pressure that created an issue with the jeep pulling to one side. Dampers are supposed to have neutral resistance to either side. By the way the jeep drove much better with the upgraded stabilizer

I did read about the Fox pulling to one side which was a concern. I’ve seen a lot of positive posts on the Nexus 2.2 adjustable stabilizer, but feel I wouldn’t use it as much for its intended purpose. Thanks for your input!

Yes, I almost never use any settings other than "medium" on Falcon 2.2, which is equivalent to 2.1. The "firm" settings are too harsh and will cause premature wear on your steering components. "Soft" setting offers almost no resistance, any wind on freeway will knock you to the side.

In hindsight, I probably should just go with 2.1.

The Fox pulling to one side is only applicable to their IFP stabilizer. If you get their 2.0 throughshaft or ATS stabilizer, those do not pull to one side.

My Fox Stabilizer pulled to the right, traded up for a Falcon 2.2 and I love it.

I've been very pleased with the Fox TS through shaft design. I didn't go with the adjustable ATS version because i relocated to the top of the tie rod and the piggy back reservoir might have been too bulky with all the Steer Smarts front end linkages.

I just got my hands on a Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 through a deal, which is adjustable without the piggy back, so i plan on experimenting to see which i like better.

I want to do that soon, so I'll report back with my thoughts.

did the falcon 2.2 last week and have played with the different settings. Agreed, medium is best. Firm had almost zero return to center.
Initially felt is was not good at all, then realized i’m an idiot and installed the bracket backward. Much better now, but I’m still an idiot.

Did the same thing. If there's a wrong way to install something I'll always find it.

Why do you say this? I was going to do synergy track bar and synergy LCAs with flacon stabilizer. Is there an issue with this?

I am currently running mopar 2” lift w fox shocks.

What bracket and how? I have same issue and took it off and put oem back on!

Mike, can you provide your thoughts between the Fox and Falcon? The Fox TS seems to be out of stock everywhere and I'm wondering if I should wait or just go ahead with a Falcon.

The Fox has been so great, and I've been so busy with other upgrades, so I never tried out the Teraflex adjustable one that I have. I actually forgot all about having it until now. I should probably sell it, so it can be put to use.
