Question - Upgrading Steering Stabalizer
What is the best option for upgrading the OEM steering stabalizer now that I'm on 35's and a 3" lift? I see brackets available that will move the OEM mounting point, and I see replacement stabalizers that aren't that expensive. So what's the preferred choice?

Just my opinion, but stay away from SuperLift. It's too fat and bangs against the trackbar and drag link. Woods relocation bkt is a good thing. Look for those with the smallest diameters.

Im still using the stock stabilizer, so I cant reccomend a replacement. However, I do recommend relocating it with a bracket. I have one from Woods and I love it.

I have the Woods kit too and like it. I also run a stock stabilizer. It's my understanding through reading on here and talking with a few people that the stock unit is sufficient even for larger tires, as long as it's in good shape. I've seen several members here say that they switched from a stock unit to something "better" and saw no improvement at all.

I don't have anything yet, what I plan to do is the relocate bracket and maybe down the road throw in an aftermarket stabilzer.
If you get an aftermarket stabilizer now, still do the relocation if you plan on doing any rocky offroading. It doesn't improve performance, just moves it up out of the way.
