Default Steering stabilizers

So I did my 5 tire rotation this morning in my falken wp 5000 miles wearing great. So I decide to check my track bar bolts just incase they started to come loose which I was able to snug them up and while under there I noticed my steering stabilizer leaking. Time for a new one but before I buy I would like some feed back. Who has what? What do you like? Any difference between emu, ranco, bilstein, Tera flex etc. They seem to be all around the same price. One thing I have learned is not getting the lowest price unit is better in the long run. By the way running stock suspension and 285/70/17

I've been super happy with the Rough Country duel steering stabilizers.

For the most part, anything other than stock is a decent upgrade. The OEM ones i felt did a poor job.

Note that the Rough Country 2.2 only works with a lift. It won't work for a stock jeep. Jeepswag has a relocation kit with a new stabilizer. Something I'm considering since I've already knocked the stabilizer off my second time off road.

I've got the Bilstein. I like it a lot.

I also have (and highly recommend) the stabilizer relocation bracket from Jeepswag.com.

Will this work on a right hand drive too? Looks great...

I got a free replacement from Chrysler (there is a TSB for leaking SS). They replaced it with a newer model (nice), and a new bracket (not nice).

I ended up relocating the SS with a Woods kit: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...cation-Bracket
