Single or dual steering stabilizer ?
Thinking about a dual but not sure if it's an overkill ? Got a 2010 JK unlimited sport.
Also, what's a decent brand that's not outrageous in price. Thanx in advance

This is a topic that has been covered many times here on the forum. If your JK is set up properly, you don't even need a stabilizer. If you're getting vibration, it is usually caused by something imbalanced or improperly torqued. Check the Planman's post on Death Wobble and see about many of the things that can cause shaking and what can be done about that.

That being said, if you still want a stabilizer, a single is all you need. You can also pick up a relocation kit from Jeepswag.com to get it up and out of the way so it doesn't get bashed on the rocks.

I had a dual stabilizer set up on my 09, but honestly did not see any difference in the steering or control over my OEM single one. I think they look cool, but as to performance, no difference.

Have u washed your rig really well since the mud? Ive had a little wobble from mud being on my suspension and tires, and it went away after a really good wash...

That being said, the jeep is set up fine to run with a single unit, or even none at all as mentioned earlier. I run the stock one with 38" tires, and I don't even need it.

my 2 cents...
depends how you want things to feel. I personally like a tighter feel to my steering. i have a 2.5" inch lift running 33" mud terrains. I ended up with a dual stabilizer and love the feel of it. to me it seems to make bump steering much more tolerable. Do you absolutely even need one? no... but i think of them more as a safety net for more serious things that can occur.

Usually when people try to get a new stabilizer (single or double) to compensate for other issues, all it does is masks a more important problem, not fix it. Those "serious things" need to be addressed themselves, not covered up.
