Have any of you experienced a lack of stability once you put your 33x12.5's on? I have noticed a bit of a scarier ride when going 45 + MPH. Not sure if it's a steering stabilizer issue or what but just know that the jeep feels much different in a not-so-good way...bounces/ drifts left to right, almost like driving a car on a game console with the steering wheel that over compensates on the slightest movement. Thanks for any comments or feedback.

I am up on 33x12.5's... I can't describe it as scary but the steering is quite a bit lighter than I would like it to be. But not much different than it was when I had the stock steelies on. That said, I am installing the Rough Country 2.2 Dual Stabilizers tonight...only to add a little more weight to the steering.

I don't think the dual stabilizers will help much. At least according to my friends at Tony's 4x4. According to them, when you lift a vehicle, the ride will be different. I have the same problem with my Mickey Thompson's. They are 33x12.5's as well. In my opinion, I think the tread has a lot to do with. If the dual stabilizers make a big difference for, please let me know.
I have a very specific intent for the dual SS... I was seeing a bit more bump steer than I like and the steering wheel is a bit too easy to turn. My exhasutive research on HD & Dual SS's tells me this is exactly what they will address. Nothing else I am looking to fix.
Lot's of folks add the HD / Dual SS's trying to fix things that the SS's will only mask without addressing the problem like worn front end parts or a bad alignment.
Either way, I'll keep all posted on my results.

Interestingly, I just read the alignment threads and came to the same conclusion. Next trip back to my mechanic I will ask him about the caster setting. The RC Dual Stabilizer accomplished what I was looking for. Reduced the bumpsteer and tightened things up..
Before anyone goes haywire on me.. this JK has under 4000 miles on it and the HD stabilizer was not done in an attempt to mask some other problem.. the front is in tip top condition. Just want a little more weight in the steering.'
