The Griffen was designed for safety reasons and drivers comfort not to fix issues or even improve ride. I cant comment on it but reviews are nothing short of amazing.

Fwiw SteerSmarts (Power&sons) supplies Steering components to the big 3. I wouldn't be surprised if jeep started using it on the new JL.

I believe it would be a great benefit in the JL. And departed JK.

It does not claim to fix or improve ride, but I would say it surely improves both comfort and control or composure.

The concept in a five link suspension and driveline, to me, is a no brainier in the form of the JK product

Not trying to bash. I took a quick glance at the thing online, I think I'll keep my non-attenuated solid connection. I don't really think this is a mask for major problems like a dual stabilizer, I just think it's a less solid connection with what is going on with your steering.

If my ride gets too jittery I'll drop a couple more psi in the tires. $100 buys a lot of other jeep parts that are higher on my list.

But if you dig it. Then dig it! To each their own.

That's why it's a Jeep.

Happy Jeeping!

Edit: as a side note, I hate the fly by wire throttle, and the hydraulic clutch, because they are both as numb as physically possible. For me this is not the feeling I want in my vehicle. I want to feel the clutch engage and disengage. I want the throttle to feel like it is connected to something. To each their own.
