Your steering must be stiff as hell.

Hey man,
Nice stabilizer, I run the same one and think it's great.
However as a warning, you might want to shoot a weld bead along the U-Bolts where they attach to the axle.
Even with correct torque, you might find in heavy articulation/rocks the center bracket can rotate downwards and jam into the link.
It happened the first time out and it is freaky as hell when you get the jeep back up to speed. The wheel will not return to center since the twin stabilizer bracket is jamming into the link.
After shitting a brick and being really puzzled on "what did I break", I finally realized what happened. Loosened up the U bolts and straightened the bracket out. When I got home, I reset everything and put two weld beads along the back of the U bolt to the axle housing.
Since then, over a year of wheeling with zero issues
