Today installed a 4:1 t case, new axle shafts and a synergy tie rod. After the tie rod instal I was surprised that it sat lower than stock did. I tried to put my dual SS on it and the bend from the mount was so bad I had to flip EM.
I currently run a dual SS that was set up badly ( on my part). I had to weld the base to a truss because the u bolt wouldn't work with it. However, I put it about an inch or so too far to the right making dialing it in a PITA.
THIS BECKONS TWO QUESTIONS:
what's a GOOD single steering stabelizer
And for those of us running the synergy tie rod, does yours hang this low? ( I don't have a high steer kit installed)

If your Jeep is properly set up, the steering stabilizer isn't a critical piece. In fact, many of us have run without them for periods of time for various reasons. If your Jeep isn't properly set up (you suffer bump steer or death wobble), then take care of that before worrying about your steering stabilizer.
With that thought in mind, pretty much any single steering stabilizer will work well--even the OEM. I prefer the Teraflex because it's about 50% larger in the piston shaft (my OEM one bent while off-roading), and only costs about $50 or so. Dual steering stabilizers are eye candy and should be left to the mall crawler crowd (sorry, if you are one that's fine--stick with it if you like it).
As for relocating it with the Synergy tie rod, I helped a friend of mine to relocate his '12 with the TF steering stabilizer and the Dominion Off-road/JeepSWAG kit. But, he only has 2.5" of lift. Anyway, it worked fine for him. I have an '07 with the Currie tie rod (and drag link) with that same steering stabilizer relocation kit. I had problems with the stabilizer getting banged up by all of the adjacent hardware, so repositioned it from the tie rod to the drag link. It still does the same job, but now has sufficient clearance. Just food for thought.

I agree with everything this guy said. I ran with no SS for a long time, but recently reinstalled a teraflex one just to absorb some of the bumps while on road. Good luck

It worked for me. Many brands of vehicles with a Panhard Rod (what we Jeepers call a trackbar) have the steering stabilizer go from the axle to the drag link, so this isn't something unusual. I suspect Jeep had two choices, so picked the one that left the steering stabilizer most vulnerable. Go figure. It was probably easier to manufacture on the assembly line.

Is there any negatives to dual ss setup? I only ask because it have seen some pretty awesome well built rigs with dual ss, hemi swaps etc. They must serve a roll somehow? If they work for a mall crawler I would think they would do the same thing on an off-road rig? Or are they completely pointless? I was given a OME steering stabilizer for free when I upgraded to rubicon suspension and shocks. Figured I may as well throw it on and it does feel a little "tighter"
