Depends on wheel and tire combo I think.

I know with 15x8s and 31/10.50-15s that are balanced ... my '77 with '78/9 steering linkage has never shown any hint of steering wobble and it has a single stabilizer.

I picked 2 only because I liked the way it looked I guess. My buddy runs the exact same lift etc with 38's instead of 40's with a stock stabilizer. It seems to me as long as everything is tight in the steering you can kinda pick what you like.

I run a single cheapie ProComp with 35" tires and have no problems. I can take off my stabilizer and still get no wobble, vibration or whatever else. Personally, I kinda think that they work as bandaids to hide worn steering components. It didnt help at all when I first bought my Bronco and had horrible track bar bushings.

After a good set of polyurethane bushings, I've never had issues again.
