Thanks for the heads up!Also you’ll need this with the synergy clamp, to use it with a thru shaft SS….

You'll still like it - let us know!Actually I think I got the cheaper stabilizer...
Part # 98524173
Watched a YouTube video of a guy installing on his gladiator.
2 years of off roading has led to this....
I'm currently using a Metalcloak Rocksport (red) damper that is weaker than the OEM by a noticeable amount. It will develop a shimmy after hitting a bump if the tires aren't balanced perfectly. It just has so little margin in the damping that it's become a pain to keep the tires perfectly balanced. So I'm thinking about more damping. But $400+ dampers seem ridiculous to me. I'm going to see if I can make the OEM damper work with the Metalcloak lift and steering system.Ya, I could go for higher quality this time around. I'm willing to go as high as $200 or so. Especially since I have the 37s now, I'm assuming a better quality one will be noticeable.
AEV's pretty decent price. I like the looks of the TF and was thinking of going with one.I'm currently using a Metalcloak Rocksport (red) damper that is weaker than the OEM by a noticeable amount.

I thought my cabin filter had the record. You're the new record holder.I pulled the stock dampener off to get ready for next weekend's project. To see how it drove without any, i took it around the block. I didn't realize how bad it was impacting my steering. Jeep drives like a dream without it lol. I'm assuming it will stiffen up and feel even better when the Fox 2.0 arrives.

Don't assume price equals capability. I'd put that $40 part on and see how it goes, first.Ya, I could go for higher quality this time around. I'm willing to go as high as $200 or so. Especially since I have the 37s now, I'm assuming a better quality one will be noticeable.
Glad it worked out!Well, got everything in, install went smooth, and holy freaking cow it feels great now lol. The stock stabilizer sure was causing me issues, and now that I have a new one installed I can really tell the difference. Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

And just for fun, I tried my hand at an install video! It's a work in progress...
