Thanks for watching! Steering Stabilizer: amzn.to/4bkzY33 I will be posting the winners of the Pod light giveaway in the next video. MORE GIVEAWAYS COMING SOON! So make sure to leave a comment!! 😉
Hey Ben Great video very informative as always! Are you still going to do a follow up video on your anti-rock sway bar setup on the JK? I would really love to see that and hear your opinion. Thank you!
JK Gear and Gadgets I like your videos and all the information you give out, I just got a 97 TJ and wanting to do upgrades and mod it all out and make it mine. Was the dirt rd around Lake Anna? Spotsylvania?
Hey Ben, would you mind me asking if a damper can be installed on the IFS version of my car doesn't have one? The solid axle one does, though, and road feedback is nasty on the IFS.
This video is exactly what I wanted to see, actual experience in different setting. Thank you so much for always providing real life experience and input. Keep ou the good work buddy.
After researching stabilizers, it turns out my Bilstein 5100 stabilizer was the cause of my swaying on the highway since it was pressurized. It kept pushing my Jeep left and I always had to correct it causing it to sway and be unstable. It was not neutral like normal stabilizers. Thanks for this vid!
Another successful crocs in socks install. Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong. Buying sneakers instead of crocs. Then I could have afforded the nexus 2.2 instead of the 2.1 I bought with all the shoe money saved. Honestly being way up here in the rust belt I figured the adjustable would just seize up in no time but after watching this I kinda wish I just spent the extra bit of dough.
I went from the Fox ATS to the Red Neck Ram and didn't care for it for a daily driver. I now have the PSC Big Bore and it's amazing. It pushes the 37s around like nothing and they're 13.50 wide. I just watched your video on the track bar brace and I think adding that will really help tighten everything up. Thanks for the videos, great channel.
I ordered a JLRU in September and brought it home on Oct 19. I put this stabilizer on my jeep on Oct 21, when I had the Teraflex lift installed. I've had it on my jeep for almost 2 months and love it. It's so much better than stabilizers I have had in the past on other jeeps. When I hit railroad crossings, pot holes, or gaps going on and off bridges, my steering wheel does not move and everything stays in line. Very different than what I have experienced in the past. Well worth the money.
Thank you for making this video, I was debating on getting an upgraded steering stabilizer and your video helped me a lot on making the final decision. Always amazing explanation.
I had a pretty bad death wobble on myJLRU with a small lift and 37’s when hitting potholes and bumps. They just did a recall to replace the damper and now it’s perfect.
Thank you, Ben just in time video. I just had my 08 JK upgraded to the 7 slot custom tie rod and drag link kit. The only issue is now my Teraflex steering stabilizer will not fit, so after fixing the ball joints (Teraflex now) and new wheel bearings from Dan's Spicer. I am NOT running a stabilizer and the driving is tight and no issues, so far. Maybe down the line I will add the Teraflex Nexus 2.1 but for now it is good. Can't wait till Uwharrie opens up to test it out. Thanks again for the videos.
Great video! I have been wondering if the steering stabilizer would be worth it and I am definitely going to check out the falcon one you reviewed for my JK!
I just replaced my duel stabilizer set up with the falcon nexus 2.2 stabilizer. I can say it's definatly different that the old set up. Even on the soft setting there's more resistance to the old duel set up. It's going to be interesting to see how this works out.
I just installed one of these last week on my JLUR - very impressed with it! It allows driving with minimal input vs. the 'hands tightly on the wheel' feel of the stock stabilizer. Highly recommend it - money well spent!
@@bubb25211 The new Wranglers have two problems; the 'wander all over the road like a drunk sailor', and the steering wheel 'dead spot'. Replacing the stabilizer keeps the jeep from wandering, but the dead spot in the steering is still a problem. Jeep has a TSB for replacing the steering box with a new all steel version to fix that though.
@@mickeythompson8770 Two different issues; the factory steering stabilizer had a recall due to 'death wobble' with some jeeps - this is a better upgrade vs. the factory fix/replacement for that issue. For the slop in the steering, they did away with the aluminum steering box, and replaced it with a steel one; part# 68507569AB. I believe there is a PCM flash that must be performed after the upgrade as well, due to different gearing in the steel box.
Been running this on my jku (2010) for almost a year! Love way better than my factory one which was leaking! 😂 I leave mine on medium pretty much 99% of the time
I noticed the difference for sure in my Falcon stabilizer when i installed. I am on medium to give myself a stiffer steering. I tried the firm and it was too much and was more difficult to turn at a dead stop.
I like the adjustable stabilizer I ran the fox pass through adjustable on my jku on 37" and it was a dream on and off road. I ran a little higher than medium
Wow, thanks for sharing your knowledge, install and review of this product. My wife has a 15 JK 35s her steering is a little loosy goosy on the factory stabilizer, I think I'll get her this, I love the simplicity of the design, install and the way you can change the setting on the fly, thank you for this video!
I’m running the very similar Fox Race Series 2.0 ATS Steering Stabilizer for about 5000miles now and love it. It definitely improved the on-center feel at highway speeds. The Fox is also adjustable, but has like 24 settings which is way too many. The low/med/hi concept seems like plenty. For daily driving, I run the Fox stabilizer at the 16/18 setting. For rock crawling, I go at 4-5
Great job love the info, I'm about to put one on mine with a 4" lift and 35s, but everybody I come across like bilistein wonder the difference is wouldn't mind that adjustable one to
Hey Ben! Thanks for the video. My teraflex adjustable stabilizer is coming in today and I’m very excited to get it installed. I wanted to see where you got your front bumper on the gladiator. It looks awesome. Did you guys build it?
if your front geometry is correct, you do not need one. Sometimes a stabilizer will mask real issues. I run a fox stabilizer. They are good for dampening off-road driving and stiffening your steering.... You are correct about death wobble,, usually the track bar bushings affect this. Bump steer is always an issue as well (wandering from mis-aligned track-bar to pitman and passenger side outer tie rod - should be parallel with each other ) - a great fix, is again correcting your geometry. Anyway - nice video - Cheers....
I’ve always had terrible luck with stabilizers. Ever since I tried to move my stock stabilizer out of the factory location and mount it above the tie rod I’ve never had luck. Every bracket I’ve tried to use either gave me some wobble or it didn’t sit straight with the tie rod making the stabilizer bend in weird ways causing clearance issues, or just some other nonsense reason. Now I’m one of those guys that just doesn’t run a stabilizer. With new ball joints in both my steering and the C’s on the ends of my axle, no stabilizer has been driving fine for me. I’m sure I’ll put one on again soon, but hopefully I’m on hydro assist before that time comes.
@JK Gear and Gadgets, I just purchased a 2020 JL. I'm curious if you know or have thoughts on 3m clear bra on the windshield will help prevent cracks or rock chips ..or maybe a video on that... love the channel and keep them coming . Thanks
I have the 2.0 (not adjustable) for my TJ - didn’t offer the adjustable, but, believe it made a difference. I am still on 33 x 12.5’s but been beefing the suspension so I can go to 35’s if I decide to.
For someone that says "That's what she said" all of the time, this video literally drove me nuts. So much material I could've used but my favorite is at 20:05
I just added to the steering!! I added the steering brace and this one day apart and both where money well spent the steering is so much better now!! i live where we have 15-25 MPH wind every day and now its not blowing me all over the ROAD.
Great review. This is the first review of the Falcon Nexus 2.2 I have seen on the inter-web. This is exactly what I am getting for my JK. But waiting for my aluminum tie rod. Agree 100% about the double trouble. The previous owner of my Jeep had installed an RC Duel (Same as you pictured in the video) and it is total crap. Also worn out and useless. I can feel every bump and dip in my steering. Looking forward to the steering upgrades.
With a 1.5” tie rod (aluminum) you will have to get creative since for some reason TF doesn’t make a 1.5” clamp mount. So options are to get the 1-3/8” mount and have a shop machine it out to 1.5”, or go with the Fox stabilizer
@@JKGearandGadgets Doetsch-Offroad makes one. They offer the Falcon Nexus 2.2 with billet clamp bracket with their aluminum tie rod and D-Link steering Flip Kit. doetschoffroad.com/products/jeep-jk-heavy-duty-aluminum-steering
Last fall while shopping for a JLU I drive 2 different brand new JLU that experienced death wobble at almost the exact same highway speed, so there is more to death wobble than just worn parts
You should get the clear vinyl wrap for your windshield Help out on rock breaking the glass it works pretty good i live in Phoenix and there's tons of rock on the highway i haven't had a window crack in 2 years
Damn, you just made me spend $350 on myself for christmas..... I didn't know about this product and if it helps with the sloppy JL freeway driving I'm all for it! Read a bunch of other reviews and they say this stabilizer really cleans up the road and freeway driving.
Great video as always. I was going with this stabilizer before watching but you confirmed it. On a side note my windshield cracked just sitting in the driveway when I turned on the defroster. I think Jeep owes us all a gorilla glass replacement because this is definitely a defect.
I don’t know how I missed this install video, but now I’m wondering if I need both in the future(steering stabilizer and that synergy bracket). Only have 35”s for my Sport S but just to tighten up the steering, and for when I’m on the trail having the stock stabilizer swapped out. I already have the Falcon 3.3 shocks and have been enjoying the adjustable shocks.
I had been running a steering stabilizer for years. The bushings finally went out so I pulled it to replace it, but found that it didnt really change the way the truck drove so its been off for about 1.5yrs and have yet to see any difference in steering or handling. Maybe one day I will put it back on, but for now I dont see a need. If anything it was binding my steering at full flex.
We will be flat towing our Gladiator behind a motorhome. Wouldn't you think we would want to choose the "SOFT" setting so the steering could adjust the easiest while towing? As usual, thanks so much for great videos!
I've not run one on my 28 year old YJ 35" tires , 4" lift for the last year. No issues. For the most part stabilizers masks / hides issues you may have.
Great video, I’m currently running the Fox adjustable stabilizer. I love it for on road driving, which I do most of the time. I’m contemplating going to hydro assist. A lot of people trying to talk me out of hydro assist claiming it is too twitchy for freeway driving. Curious on your thought.
Hey boss, I am wanting to get a 3.5 inch lift on my JLU. BUT, I keep hearing many different things on what to get if I upgrade to that height. It’s all confusing and I am a beginner and would love if you made a full video explaining what I truly need.
Yea, definitely not going to spend that kind of money and have it hanging low enough to whack on a rock or use as a shovel the first time out. Just got a synergy steering setup today 😁, going to raise the stabilizer up a bit to the track bar axle bolt.
Recently purchased a 2009 Jeep JK that already has a lift and 35” tires. Got the death wobble a couple times. Before I start changing track bars and bushings or the steering stablizer etc should I get the tires aligned first. Appreciate the video!!
FCA sees the steering stabilizer as a cure for death wobble. Our 2019 is on it's third steering gear and it's fourth steering stabilizer. The good news is that the dealership installed a Fox® Racing Shox 983-02-148 Factory Race Series 2.0 ATS Steering Stabilizer out of desperation. So now we have a $450 steering stabilizer with a Mopar warranty.
@@joebourgoin6554 So far it has. I had it well above the speed limit on a rough patch of highway that had previously induced the wobble and it was solid. Still, my confidence in it was low. Once bitten, twice shy, y'know?
As always, great video with real time testing. I'm running 37's on my Gladiator and I installed the Fox aev pass thru shaft and use about the mid-range setting. You're right, it is expensive but it really has a great road as well as off road feel. What's odd though is the way yours mounted as opposed to the one I installed, they are opposite. Did FCA change the axel styles on jt's at some point?
Seems like a pretty expensive stabilizer to keep in the stock location hanging under the tie rod where it can be hit by rocks. Any reason why you didn't make a relocation part of the upgrade?
I bought this stabilizer last summer and had it on for 6 months then the seal came loose and all the hydraulic fluid leaked but I will be buying another one because it's amazing
I'm a newbie: whatever came with my AEV 4" lift, along with the T-Flex HD ball joints and new HD tie rod appears to be enough (?) on my Dana 30 for now.
I have a 2022 high altitude gladiator and on the high way at speeds like 70+, if I would hit a typical like either pot hole or even just a regular interstate bump or sum it would at least shake slightly for 1 second and sometimes it would give me an unmanageable wobble that would last for 30 seconds to a minute. I got a rough country steering stabilizer with my new 35 inch tires and 2.5 inch suspension lift - and so far I can tell the difference is worth it. Very affordable.
Was just browsing today which way to go on a stabilizer for my gladiator. Once I get it back from Northridge 4x4 who is doing Ripp supercharger install.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the review, I’ve been looking at that for my Jk for a whiel
Great video!!! I like the way the stabilizer behaves by changing siffness. Thanks!
Love the videos, such good information! Thanks for making these videos.
You should do the high line mod to the DRL on the fenders to get some extra clearance for flexing. Also it looks awesome

FCA sees the steering stabilizer as a cure for death wobble. Our 2019 is on it's third steering gear and it's fourth steering stabilizer. The good news is that the dealership installed a Fox® Racing Shox 983-02-148 Factory Race Series 2.0 ATS Steering Stabilizer out of desperation. So now we have a $450 steering stabilizer with a Mopar warranty.
Lol, so did it fix the death wobble?
@@joebourgoin6554 So far it has. I had it well above the speed limit on a rough patch of highway that had previously induced the wobble and it was solid. Still, my confidence in it was low. Once bitten, twice shy, y'know?
@justgonnastay Stumbled across this video again. How has it held up?
As always, great video with real time testing. I'm running 37's on my Gladiator and I installed the Fox aev pass thru shaft and use about the mid-range setting. You're right, it is expensive but it really has a great road as well as off road feel. What's odd though is the way yours mounted as opposed to the one I installed, they are opposite. Did FCA change the axel styles on jt's at some point?
The axles should still be the same.. ill have to go see how the fox is mounted
@@JKGearandGadgets the fox mounts with the body side of the shock close to the wheel and the eye about the center of the steering arm.
@@JKGearandGadgets sorry, I was thinking about it backwards, my bad, they are the same.
That looks great! Now I just need a Jeep Gladiator to put it on....
You should get a pair of the Pro Comp S15-w 3.8 wide angle cube LED and do a review so I can see if they are worth it!
I upgraded mine to a fox unit. Took out all the bump steer. Way better than stock.
Seems like a pretty expensive stabilizer to keep in the stock location hanging under the tie rod where it can be hit by rocks. Any reason why you didn't make a relocation part of the upgrade?
I bought this stabilizer last summer and had it on for 6 months then the seal came loose and all the hydraulic fluid leaked but I will be buying another one because it's amazing
I'm a newbie: whatever came with my AEV 4" lift, along with the T-Flex HD ball joints and new HD tie rod appears to be enough (?) on my Dana 30 for now.
Thanks for this. Very helpful
Awesome video 👍
I have a 2022 high altitude gladiator and on the high way at speeds like 70+, if I would hit a typical like either pot hole or even just a regular interstate bump or sum it would at least shake slightly for 1 second and sometimes it would give me an unmanageable wobble that would last for 30 seconds to a minute.
I got a rough country steering stabilizer with my new 35 inch tires and 2.5 inch suspension lift - and so far I can tell the difference is worth it. Very affordable.
Was just browsing today which way to go on a stabilizer for my gladiator. Once I get it back from Northridge 4x4 who is doing Ripp supercharger install.
So far, this thing is nice. Let me know how you like the Ripp!
have you considered the Synergy MFG JL/JT Front Track Bar and Sector Shaft Brace? Would you recommend this for the JT?
