steering stabilizer experience

Hi all.....after finishing my shock replacement I noticed my steering stabilizer is basically shot. What brand have you guys/gals put on and how do you like them? I just put on Ranch RS9000s and am pleased so far, so I'm kinda leaning Rancho stabilizer as well, any thoughts?

I've heard good things about Rancho, but I personally use Billstein and love it - big improvement over stock.

I am running BDS on both my shocks and my steering stabilizers (dual) so far they have been very good and I am happy with them. However, I to have read goos things about Rancho and Billstein...

I have a single Rancho RS5000 (part number RS5410) on my 05 EX 4x4. It works well for my needs and it matches the Rancho 9000's at the wheels.

Probably the cheapest one O'reillys has that will go another 150k miles.

FWIW, I love threads like this where people review their mods.

I have the stock on right now with a crappy lift and 35s.
The lift is being re-done this week and I'm getting a dual stabilizer w/ Fox shocks.
I will let you know how this works out, but obviously I am changing other variables as well so it will not be purely a stabilizer review.

I too have the Bilstein 5100 which was made to order like TD's. Its a nice product and was a noticable improvement over not having one at all. I have the Bilstein 5100 shocks up front to though and like things to match. Since you have the Rancho's I would probably go with that as a replacement. Patriotic Rottweiler also provided the part number as well.
