i agree with the cheap one or no stabilizer, and depending on your build plan you may just want to save for hydro assist...ive ran single and dual and really like not having one, i can tell very quickly when something may be knocked out of place or getting worn out. Even though im going assist, im going to definitely check for wear and such much more.

I love it when people discount the Fox ATS when they have no experience with it. It is worth the money and is much better than the factory stabilizer. My steering feels so much better with the Fox over the OEM stabilizer. I love mine.

All they do is dampen or numb the steering wheel feel, making it harder to turn the wheel. Its a personal preference thing. If you are happy to have it great.

I too didn't like the way it mounts stock. That's why I went with a better alternative by using the Synergy relocation bracket. Double sheer mount and it also relocates up and away. It's a nice piece.

I run the dual Bilstein setup and could not be happier... gas shocks perform better as a steering damper but used as a single, the preload constantly pushes to one side. using them as doubles with opposide direction eliminates that push as well as the tough turnung.

And so does the ATS. I can't seeing two high charged gas shocks being good for the steering pump.

Why? They work opposite to each other, so that eliminates the forces... Turning the wheels is easier than with the stock AEV/ OME I had before...
