Just wondering how much they help. Have been pondering geting one of these for a while, and didn't know if someone had bought these before how much they actually help.

My opinion is to get a tie rod with upgraded tie rod ends. Flipping the driver side on top of the knuckle also helps a TON! Probally one of the best things I've done with my steering setup.

A stabilizer helps, but honestly you won't notice much of a difference.

Agreed 120%!

That will probably be what I do then instead. __________________ '99 XJ, 5.5" lift, 33" MT's '11 Dodge Charger I miss the days that they made toys that could kill a kid. Support our Troops My Pics and Specs My Build Thread

I still have the stock steering but i replaced the stabilizer with a new one from 4wd(cheapest at the time) and then at attica i bent the tierod tube so i just received the new heavy duty tierod tube from rusty's which looks really strong and the ends are larger than the stock one but i haven't installed it yet....
