Running the Fox ATS stabilizer currently, was running the Exact Center and will be going back to it…… I’ve had my Fox for 4 years no complaints, or problems with it at all…. I would definitely purchase it again…

.I like the Exact Center a little better for its ability to hold center on the steering wheel… less small corrections inherent with SFA steering……I got the new RK aluminum steering ( drag link/ tie rod) and it wasn’t designed to run the stabilizer relocated when it came out… I made my own axle side bracket out of a MC bracket and had to put the Fox back on for testing clearances, then been to lazy to switch back, lol….

If you’re going get a through shaft stabilizer and going to be relocating it, then order the one for JK instead of JL, it will come with the track bar bolt and tie rod clamp and it’s plug and play…….
Roky,
I'm in need of more damping than the Rocksport I'm currently running. But I'm concerned about stuffing that external reservoir in there as it is tight.

Yah I’m using the MC stabilizer relocation kit with the factory stabilizer. I blew out the RockSport stabilizer. I found the heavier trackbar made everything far more stable.
Yes, agree. I'm running a Steersmarts Yeti Pro (poly bushings) trackbar. The rest of my suspension and steering is Metalcloak. When I had a Steersmarts tierod fitted with a OEM steering damper, it was enough damping for the 37s. I was trying to install a OEM damper with the MC relocation but ran into an issue.

You should be fine with your MC lift…..the little resi can be rotated also if need be to find the sweet spot….I'm running mine a bit sideways due to the RK tie rod /draglink, it wasn’t designed for the stabilizer to be relocated unless you run the drag link flipped…I know doesn’t make sense, but I made it work…that’s a long story though, lol…..

You have to drill out one of the bushings on factory stabilizer for it to fit. I had to relocate the SS to fit the MC FAD skid.

I'm still using my stock stabilizer, no issues, I do have the extended Mopar LCA's.

In the future if I change it out I'm pretty much open to any direct bolt in/plug & play stabilizer; Fox, Bilstein, Teraflex, Rancho.

Edit: After more research, a TS Fox Stabilizer sounds like a very good option.

I went with the Rough Country N3 Dual Steering Stabilizer. It was cheaper than many other options, and the install was pretty straight forward (did have to remove the right front tire to get one of the factor stabilizer bolts out). I haven’t done any major off-roading with it, so can’t give a review on how it handled there. On highway driving I can drive with one finger resting on the steering wheel and it stays pretty straight.
Here is a factory picture. Thought I had a photo from my Jeep after install, but must have deleted from my phone.

If running this you need at least a 2.5" lift for it to fit.
