Default Rough Country Dual Steering Stabilizer

Has anyone noticed a big improvement in steering "feel" or general improvement in handiling after converting to a Twin set up (Rough Country/BDS, etc)?

Maybe I am crazy but, I changed our JK over to the Rough Country twin set up this morning. After taking it for a quick road test, it really feels like a night and day improvement in steering feel/response.

My prior stabilizer was the Single Skyjacker Hydro and relocation kit.

Am I just feeling improvement in my head or did you feel the same as a drastic improvement for road feel?

Once I went to the 305 MTR's w/kevelar the increased mass seemed to drop the road feel/response. Now it seems better and tighter than when it was stock with the SRA's.

It does feel tighter on road, and off road it really helped with the bump steer

Where is the best place to order one of these? I looked at mine a few days ago and its FUBAR and today on my way to work my JK decided to hit me with the death wobble!

i've seen lots of posts with people saying it's unnecessary, and it's not much different than stock.

to me, it was a night and day difference.
