Steering Stabilizer Choice

[Headbarcode]

Does anyone have any experience with the JK through-shaft fox vs. the JK ATS? Where in the range of the ATS is the non adjustable? Running 37's and on the terrible 2 lanes out here, bumpsteer is a challenge. Just not sure if there is an extra $150 worth of value to the adjustable. The ATS says it has 24 clicks of adjustment, if the fixed one is somewhere above 12 on the ATS, I might roll the dice and save the cash.

As hoag4147 mentioned, I've got the Fox TS stabilizer. It's equivalent to the mid range of the ATS version. I chose it because I had no inclination to be adjusting it softer for offroad and stiffer when back on the road. It seems that many who don't play with the adjustable one tend to like the middle of the range.

I don't really want to mess with it on the regular.. but the stock one has no ability to damp these 37's.. Is it a major change over the stock one?

It definitely makes a noticeable difference in firmness compared to the factory one. I've had it for about 2 years now. Most of that time was with 38's, and it's now doing a great job with my new 40's.

Which one for my 2018 JLUR? I have the 2 inch mopar lift on 35s MT's and possibly going 37s in the future.

The regular 2.0 is good but I wound up with the ATS adjustable. It is perfect. You can dial it in just as you want it. It has 24 positions. Well worth the money. I have mine exactly where I want it and the steering feel has never been better.

Looking for suggestion on upgrading steering stabilizer and relocation kit. Recently upgraded to 37 and 3.5 game changer lift. I have smashed two oem steering stabilizers so looking to upgrade from stock and relocate it to the tie rod. My tie rod is stock but I will eventually upgrade it but not sure with what yet. Is there a relocation kit that will work on my stock tie rod and also work on whatever I end up upgrading my tie rod to? Or will I need to get a new relocation kit when I upgrade my tie rod?

It’s kind of a mix. A couple of the AM TRs are the same diameter as stock. You can normally buy the TR mount separately (or it may come with the TR). I’ve been having some issues with the SS bushings. The synergy is set up for 1/2” like most aftermarket, and stock and Steersmarts SSs are 12mm.

1/2” and 12mm? Are you talking tie rod diameter? That’s not even close.

So the fox ATS stabilizer hangs too low?

In the factory location yes. Any stabilizer mounted there hangs too low.

Jeep should just admit defeat and Fox should be standard equipment.

It's no lower than stock. Like any, it can be rigged to be up higher with aftermarket parts.
