double shock stabilizer questions

when I recently did the steering upgrade from inverted y to the T. I lost oem steering stabilizer. I have been looking at options for a double at topguncustomz they have a skyjacker white shock system cheaper money wise and a bilstein double also more money. wondering what others have used and are happy with. since I have bigger tires now and soon new ball joints and steering change I need to do this. so let me know what you think. I would even consider a bigger single system if that would be just as good. thanks for the comments

Unless you're now experiencing a right drift,any single pressurized ss will tend to give you a left drift. If you're experiencing a slight right drift due to the bigger tires and the crown in the road the pressurized ss might even things out. I had to adjust my Carli highmount to 100 psi to compensate for the left drift. I'm only running 285's. Thuren offers a good Fox ss for a good price. The dual Bilstein setup would cancel out any drift.

to be honest I dont notice any drift the roads in oregon are not the best but not any major drift to either side. I just thought that having these or a single would help somewhere. or help me in the mountains on logging roads or on the beach. with soft sand ruts etc. etc.

read this thread on it there are pic's of my install this is basically using the 98-99 parts for 2000-02 the newer 2nd gens used a inverted y design and other years used a HD almost like a crossover T style steering.
