Last weekend I installed Blistein 5100 shocks and am very happy I did....now on to the steering stabilizer. Question I have is do I need to stay with a single or go dual
2012 6.7 4x4 CC Short bed. Readylift stage IV so 3.5" lift in the front and 3" in the back. 35" Toyos.

I just went through this on my 2016 after leveling it. I started with the Carli high mount single upper stabilizer. Immediately had a constant pull to the left on every road surface. Lowered the nitrogen pressure to 95 psi and was better, but still pulled left. Switched to an Icon dual tie rod mount stabilzer and no more pull. Also feels better dampened in both directions, where as the Carli unit seemed to dampen great in one direction, but then in other (the pressure direction) it seemed to accentuate steering feedback.
They say the Carli unit is great for trucks with Toyo MTs which have the infamous right hand pull or drift. I can see that considering the left pull I experienced.
How can a stabilizer pull on a vehicles steering? They only dampen movement they don't rebound by themselves.... and I single one is more than enough your not running 40"+ mud tires here. Duals are for the look on a street truck with mild tires, Duals will also put a little more resistance when you turn the wheel

I see you wrote they have a nitrogen charge correct? So I would assume it's not a normal stabilizer so it most likely has rebound, if I'm right that would defiantly give you a pull to the one side

yes...
I had a buddy at a local motorcycle shop make the adjustment, it made a noticeable difference.
I just installed a Bilstein 5100 single one. No pull at all. Factory one on a 2015 with 43k miles was so easy to compress. I have 8 speed bumps in my neighrhood. What a difference going over them!!

Easy, because they are gas charged now days (at least the good ones are). The single Carli unit comes charged to 200 psi, and mounts to the drag link, so it is pushing the drag link to the left. The Icon 2.0s on the dual stabilizer are also Nitrogen charged. The difference is that one pushes each way (one right and one left) on the tie rod, so the power steering pump is still only working to compress one, while the other one is extending due to the nitrogen charge.
I know what you are saying about the steering stabilizers of yesteryear, but todays stabilizers are much different than what one would put on a 77 blazer with 38s 20 years ago.
