2021 Mojave and steering stabilizer benefits

[Mojave2021]

Hi all, new member here who just bought a 2021 Mojave last week. Just starting to break it in. Overall the handling is better than I was expecting, but I wouldn't mind a bit more steering feel. Are there still significant/noticeable benefits to be gained by adding one of the steering stabilizers to a Mojave? Just was wondering if it's worth the investment. I'd like to go with one of the Fox options to match my shocks. Looks like the exact match would be the most expensive option:
Factory Race Series 2.0 ATS

I have posted this before and still stand by it, the ATS 2.0 is a major upgrade and well worth it. I can make the JT feel like the heaviness of my M3 or like an amazingly loose offroad build. very nice ride, great and easy adjustability, the falcon would be my second choice.

Wish I had an answer. What I have is a Mojave and will patiently wait to see what response you receive.

I was looking at the 2.0 ATS from Fox also.

Thanks for your response. Did you also have any issues with needing to bend the bracket to mount it successfully? I’ve read about that issue a few time in the reviews.

No not at all it went in super easy. I do have a 3.5 inch game changer lift from metal cloak, but that did not make a difference in this install.

I just picked up a 2021 JT HA, and I also think I would benefit from a better stabilizer. Its not bad, but light...

The stabilizer damps out the live axle death wobble syndrome. It would be interesting to find a safe place and see how heavy the steering is with it disconnected. They don't call it death wobble for nothing!

When on a firmer setting does the steering wheel return to center right on its own still? I had heard the Teraflex Nexus 2.2 adjustable doesn’t return to center on the firm setting but I wasn’t sure about the Fox ATS.

I have the Fox steering stabilizer en route, so eventually, I will have feedback...

If you're experiencing death wobble you need more than a steering damper... all the damper does is mask underlying problems.

really? The one I see on Amazon is a different part number: 983-02-143. I thought the Gladiator needs 983-02-148.

We may not be talking about the same one, actually, this is the one I ordered...
