Does that induce a pull? Any reason to spend the extra $ on an adjustable through shaft?
The only pull I experience is due to the aggressive tread of my M/T tires. I've run oversized tires on all of my Jeeps. My JTR is on 37's. The upgraded stabilizer just helps smooth out the on-road steering from the increased "feedback" the larger tires give. The stock stabilizer does a decent job. The Fox is just better, and I can definitely feel it in the steering. This single stabilizer is all I'll ever need, because I don't plan on going higher than my current 2-inch lift or 37's. I can't speak to the need for a higher grade or double stabilizer set-up. I'm sure there's a level of suspension upgrades you can reach where that may be a good investment to go bigger. Hopefully someone smarter than me can chime in here.

I'm on 37's and a clayton 3.5". I'm getting a little bit of dead straight wandering, and a minor extra oscillation in the wheel when hitting big dips.. not sure what to look at next.

If you haven't swapped out your factory stabilizer with your current set up, I would definitely recommend it. It tightened up my steering IMO. Plus, it's one of the easiest suspension mods you can do. 2 bolts off and on. No jacking the truck up.

I'm on Clayton arms w/ 2.5" Evo springs. I discovered that the ends of my drag link were worn/defective. Replaced under warranty and definitely tightened things up a bit. Increasing castor and toe-in slightly helped, too.

Few smaller parts arrived, and a couple big crucial pieces coming this upcoming week.

30,000 pound tow strap, it's got some weight to it: https://amzn.to/3EfA3EX

Door lock covers, in carbon fiber (not real obviously) but doesn't look cheap so that's a plus.

Huge thanks to @GtownTX for selling me one of the biggest/hardest decisions on the parts list.

Randomly saw him at a gas station because of his Gobi Mojave which I haven’t seen any on the street
I’m also in Georgetown, TX. Waiting on my order of a granite max tow.

I'm in the process of possibly buying 37's and selling the 35's locally. I don't have much time left to make a decision but I keep thinking I'm going to regret not going to 37s for the little extra in price now vs later.

Fwiw, I tried buying 37s over the weekend.

In cart, came back hours later and they were gone.

Working on a solution because I don’t want to lose $ on tires for driving them around for a week and changing my mind.

If you go with 37’s do you have a mind to regear?

Awesome thread btw, thanks for sharing your journey.

Yeah I will eventually regear as well, 37s seem like the way to go right out the gates.

Still doing research on the best gearing setup.

Has your Jeep come in yet? I ordered only a few days after you and patiently waiting it’s arrival!
