Default Dual steering stabilizer

My latest little project is now done, and I thought I'd share with you.

After getting the 37"-s on, I noticed quite a flighty feeling on highway, and had to adjust steeringwheel-movements all the time. Then got Rancho SS and replaced the original one. Made quite a difference, but not all the way in my opinion. So - what to do? Dual SS, that must do it!

I had OME on my TJ, and it was very reliable and of high quality. So, I got a OMESD11, actually made for LandRover (sorry to swear at church). It's sturdy and a bit harder and more resistant than the ones for Wrangler - in this case an advantage.
The Rancho was left at the original mounts, and I modified the Rancho lifted fitting for the driver's side. Then made a new fitting for the passenger side.

Just came back from a testdrive, and I'm very satisfied with the result!

Excellento bravissimo!

Whoops!

Missed out on one matter, had to move the modified Rancho mount about 1" towards the wheel, in order to get the full compression on the stabilizer. But now all is fine!

After another testrun, I highly recommend this modification to anyone going 37".

have you tried to increase your caster alittle that would allow less input ( as far keeping straight )
