Default New steering stabalizer

Since I destroyed my steering stabilizer I am looking into getting a new one. I have no lift and regular Sahara tires. I am planning on getting a lift and tires in the near future. What would you guys suggest? Plus would you guys think I should get the relocation bracket at the same time? Thanks!

I have a Fox 2.0 IFP stab with synergy clamp. I am very pleased. I did not use a relocate bracket, I have a 2.5 TF coil lift. There are many other good stabilizers out there.

Relocated OEM is as good as anything else.

what ever you do, make sure you RELOCATE the stabilizer so its not hanging down below the rest of the suspension.
Synergy Suspension makes a nice set up - i should know....i just installed it on mine.

and you can use it w/ ANY stabilizer -

There are many that come with as much as 200 psi nitrogen charged. A lot of guys like me use them to correct radial tire pull. I have one on my diesel pickup that has 37's due to the right pull from the tires. After installing the Carli stabilizer it would pull left due to the extra pressure. Just a matter of adjusting pressure via the schrader valve and it dials right in and zero pull now.

This is only an issue with a few of the gas charged units. Fox has recently made a new stabilizer that will correct the issue with their stabilizers. My aftermarket stabilizer doesn't pull at all, nor have any i have ever used. Do your research
