dual steering stabilizer?

Yep, if everything is dialed in correctly and no parts are loose or bad you won't need a steering stabilizer. If you feel the need to run one, find a stock one that is for sale for cheap. I ran without one on 35s and 37s. I did run one with 37s for awhile until I found my problem (loose trackbar).

Front or rear trackbar bracket?
It is bumpsteer? Not flighty or wandering from low caster?
If that is a front trackbar bracket - do not install it! (unless you already installed their drop pitman - which you should not have with only a 2.5" lift...)

i run a dual stabilizer with my rig. i hav 35"tires, 3.25" lift, front & rear track bars and front quick disconnects. All Rough Country componets. Been runnin this set up for 6months. i have no complaints. i make it a habit to check my rig after each jeep outing and alls good. i know i dont need the dual stabilizer but no problems thus far and the ride is quite comfortable both on and off road. Just my experience and opinion.

Im planning on buying new shocks, iv got a 2.5" lift on my 09 jku. Shocks are stocks, so i planned on replacing with either the skyjacker, or rough country. "Any opinions on either of these would be appriciated".That all being said i can spend the extra $ and get the dual steering stabilizer or i can just go with the single. Question being, is there enough benifit to having the duals to do it or not? I do have a touch of bump steer at the moment, have bought rough country track bar relocation mount just havent put on yet. Appriciate your time.
Don't get why people say they are not needed...so stupid. Don't need sway bars either but they sure help comfort and stability.
Jeep puts them on stock for a reason. If people claim going to 35's or 37's needs all sorts of upgrades to axles and ball joints and control arms why the hell wouldn't a factory stabilizer need it too? Are they stronger than your axles?
Just a bunch of parrots regurgitating what other people say...who are wrong anyway.
I have a well set up and dialed in front end with DL flip, JKS track bar etc..and felt a more solid steering feel and a little less feedback in the wheel.
Do it....you'll be glad you did

What components came in the lift?
Front or rear trackbar bracket?

Darts to one side, tire starts hopping a bit, something else?
Front or rear trackbar bracket? A rear raised trackbar bracket is ok. But up front, you want the trackbar and draglink to remain roughly parallel to each other. If you raise the axle end of the trackbar with a bracket (or lower the frame end), you will make the steering worse, not better. Front brackets are used as part of a draglink flip or with a drop pitman.
If you go up to JK Writeups, stuck right to the top is a diagnosis thread for shimmy and deathwobble. Wouldn't hurt to go through the steps to make sure that all of your joints are in good shape and that all of the bolts are tight. Might be nothing more than a loose trackbar bolt or something.
