Why not use the factory single set-up?
If yours isn't equiped w/ it just got to the dealer and order the shock,bolts,u-bolts,nuts. Its not the much $
Iam sorry but i dont know how much travel a stock stabilizer has.

I just put a rough country dual setup on mine and its pretty nice. they have a OEM replacement with just the shock for pretty cheap.

I believe he said he DIDN'T want a dual. ;-)))
I can see no reason for a dual stabilizer unless you're HARD off-roading, and virtually none of us is doing that.
I'd just go with the factory parts, too. Looks pretty clean.

For single stabilizers, I would shop around and see what fits your budget. They are good and you will get mixed reviews on them. On dual stabilizers, the only time that it is recommended, is that if you are running tires 35" and above or off roading. That is my 2 cents about that.

Thanks thats the animal i have under there too, ive been looking around and im trying to locate a good beefer single stabilizer, i think the duals are a little overkill. Fabtech makes one and Full traction steering makes one also, anyone used these components?

Again, unless you have huge tires and do a lot of off-roading, the stocker or suitible replacement will be fine IMO. IOW, a single unit. I have experienced bumpsteer only a few times while doing some serious 4x4 stuff. Other than that, just fine.

Ive run 35s and now 37s on the stock one and for the most part the 35s didnt have a prob, it just seems like it may have a leak in it or something because it seems to get harder and harder to steer by the day, and jumps around a little more than it did when i got the 37s a month ago. Or maybe the shaft is bent or somethin?
