When I was at the dealer complaining of the death wobble a mechanic was standing at the service desk and said " your stock stabilizer is garbage, just yank it off "......Tell me something I didn't already know !! I'm leaning towards Superlift or Fox myself....

I'm removing my Supercrap SS this weekend and replacing it with a Woods bracket and a Fox SS. That piece of crap first hit the trackbar so I shifted it and it started smacking the drag link. I bet if anyone else really looks (I painted mine red and it's really easy to see where it rubs) you're gonna find some contact down there.

I have the same lift and am running a fox stabilizer along with a relocation bracket. I'm having issues with the fit, it contacts both the draglink and the trackbar when articulating. I'm still trying to come up with a solution for the situation.

No. I like it a lot. I don't think it will fit without the relocation kit. You may see some rubbing.

I am putting the Superlift stabilizer on as we speak, put have run into a snag. The instructions call for drilling a hole using a 17/32 drill bit. I can't one anywhere. Help.

Good inquiry post, I hate the stock stabilizer shock itself, worthless just like the 06 Rubi OEM stabilizer shock, one of the cheaper mods I did on the 06 Rubi and with the custom H1 rims/tires I had it really smoothed out the handling of those stupid heavy rims. On my 07 Rubi I have been considering the Fox stabilizers I've seen some install and like the relocation brackets, not sure if the fox systems have any bracket hitting anything issues like some of you though.

I think it's a nice setup from what I've read about you guys with this system, Fox is what I am considering, you don't have any issues with anything rubbing whatever when flexing?

Something about the Fox, I don't know, it has kind of a hydraulic ram steering look about it, I like a balance on my mods, both functional and looks.
