Any thoughts on which of these would be better on a 2018 JLU, lifted with 35” tires? I feel like either one would be great but would like to hear some personal experiences.

Good look finding the Fox TS stabilizer not many left in North America. Before you order make sure it’s actual in stock not just listed in stock because I’ve been waiting on one since October. I do believe there are adjustable dampeners out there. Also I’ve heard the 2.0 pull.

I noticed they’re hard to find! I appreciate your feedback! I hope you get yours soon.

I have the Teraflex. I had a problem with my steering wheel not returning to center after left turns, and beats me how, but the issue was 100% cured by the steering stabilizer. I didn't buy the 3-position one because in all of the Youtubes I watched the reviewers ended up in the middle position in the end.

Steering stabilizers, like the Teraflex (and I think the Fox as well), that use pass-through design don't pull.

Not to get off topic from the two different ones your looking at but I have the Falcon Nexus EF 2.1 Steering Stabilizer on my 2018 running 35’s and it’s been great

Can’t comment on the Fox, though I’m sure it’s great as they make great shocks. I have the Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 on my Jeep with 35s and no complaints.

More food for thought... Are you planning on upgrading your steering linkages? If you are looking at an upgraded tie rod, or just want to relocate the stabilizer, the JL version of the Falcon Nexus needs to be modified to swap out the axle end bracket with a tie rod clamp. Or perhaps just use the JK version of the Nexus which already has a TR clamp. Just make sure it fits the diameter of your TR. Add a relocation bracket or bolt for the other end and you are done; better SS and located up and out of harm’s way.

I have the Steer Smarts Yeti tie rod and it works with the Falcon no problem.

I have the Falcon with SteerSmarts drag link, tie rod, trac bar and mounts. No complaints. Very tight fit but it does clear everything with 2.5” lift. Falcon adjustment knob always in the middle.

I ran the Fox on my previous built JK/37's and full Steer Smarts steering linkage. I eventually pulled the Fox and switched to Steer Smarts (N) neutral stabilizer. We found the Fox unit was 'loading up', building a preload and causing a slight wandering in the steering.

On my JL build, I'm running the Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 and love it. I will set it to firm for the long interstate treks out West and then Soft on the trails. My Jeep is my daily driver, and for that duty, I run the stabilizer on the middle setting. I like that you can actually feel a difference at the wheel between the settings. I'm also upgraded my steering linkage using Metal Cloak. The steering is spot on, one finger easy at 80+mph.

I've got the Falcon EF 2.1 non adjustable and am running 35 BFG KO2 with Fuel Vectors. I considered the adjustable Falcon, but like previously mentioned, most reviews I've seen ended up on the middle setting, so I went non-adjustable. I'm extremely happy.

Fox thru shaft for me, there’s more settings on it than needed for most rigs, but it’s been rock solid , zero issues.
