Steering Stabilizer Choices
So,a few months ago while I was installing my lift kit on the 71 I was asking about steering stabilizers.I never ordered one because I wanted to wait and see how everything turned out suspension and tire wise.Now that I have the final wheels,tires & suspension on the truck its time to make the decision on a stabilizer.So,should I go with a single,dual inline,or dual stacked on top of each other stabilizer?
The truck has a 6" lift and 35s. As far as the quality and price...Which has the best bang for the buck? Oh,and in case someone here has one to sell,Im going to be posting a WTB in the parts board so keep an eye out

Re: Steering Stabilizer Choices

Re: Steering Stabilizer Choices
Hate the double stacked, like the dual inline look, not sure if it's two are needed but I voted for that one...

Re: Steering Stabilizer Choices
The single on my K20 with 35"s seems to do the job. I've got a Rancho setup with the upgraded shock.

Re: Steering Stabilizer Choices
I say go with the double inline setup. Have heard good stuff about the skyjacker setups.

Re: Steering Stabilizer Choices
I have a single, have always run a single and have never had any issues. I had Ranchos in the past, but my new Pro Comp shocks came with a stabilizer, so we will see how well it does compared to the old setup.

Re: Steering Stabilizer Choices
I like the looks of the Dual Inline myself. Figure I'll go that route when get around to it.

Re: Steering Stabilizer Choices
Quit playing around and just install a hydro assist, then your done with it.

Re: Steering Stabilizer Choices
I thought of it before I even tore the truck down but decided against it because I wanted to keep it fairly original being a orginal shortbed 4x4...Hell,I didnt even order the lift kit thats on it,I ordered a 4" lift and found this one was 6" after everything was all tightened down.I wasnt dare going to take it back off and let the truck sit suspension-less till I got the correct one so I kept it.
