Just wondering does any have dual old man emu steering stabilizers... If so did you buy a kit? From where ? If you bought just the brackets and the stabilizers, what bracket did you buy ?

Not sure what the price of a dual OME setup will be, but have you thought about the Fox ATS? It is a through-shaft design and it is amazing. It's spendy, but you can get good prices from our vendors. I went through Marcus at River City Offroad. People claim all the time that a stabilizer isn't worth it, but you will not find one negative review about the Fox ATS. It can dramatically change (for the better) the way a lifted Jeep handles. One of my favorite mods.

X2 on the Fox ATS stabilizer. I really made difference in my handling with my heavy tires.

I would't waste the money on a steering stabilizer. The factory one is sufficient and money can be spent elsewhere that will actually do something for you. The fox gets great reviews by those that have invested in it but Imo it is a poor design using single sheer mounts that are inherently weak.

The only issue i had with my bilstein ss is that it bent easily and thats why i spent the money on a fox ss. Bigger shaft and body, in theory it can take a little more punishment.

I'm with Dirtman on this. I'd just add that once the OEM does bend or fail or whatever it happens to do, replace it with a similarly priced aftermarket part. I use the Teraflex--$50 on Northridge--and it's about 50% bulkier in the shock housing and shaft. I've bent the OEM, but never a TF. Have had to replace when it eventually started leaking (but I have 137K miles on my JK). I do run it without the plastic housing because with Currie rods there's just not enough room for that extra bulk. That allows dirt to accumulate on the shaft, shortening the life of the SS. Or so the theory goes.

TheDirtman

The single sheer design will be the weak point, Hit the body hard enough and it will snap off the tie rod mount. Rasing the stabilizer up out of the way and not ramming into stuff will go a long way in extending the life of a steering stabilizer.

Dumb question, but I keep seeing comments about single and double sheer. Can you or someone explain and/or post pictures of what that is? Thanks.

TheDirtman

A double sheer mount will have support on both sides of the item being mounted. Most of your mounts on the jeep are a double sheer design like the control arm. A single sheer will only have support on one side of the mounted item and will have increased stress placed on the bolt and the bracket.

Awesome, thank you.
