Steering stabilizers.

So this morning I noticed one of my steering stabilizers is starting to leak, so Im gonna be replacing them. So what should I go with? Ive got the sky jackers right now. Seem to have worked fine. Although they are the only ones I've used. Should I stick with them or try something else? I spend about 50/50 on pavement and bush banging. I put about 65,000klm's a year on my truck so I would like something that will last at least a year. Thanks guys.

I went with Rough Country (heckethorn) this last time and it seems pretty good. I've also used Rancho on other trucks and they do decent but don't seem to last all that long. I asked this question of a suspension "expert" and he said for the daily driver and not hard core off roading, there isn't a need for anything better then either of the ones I've used and to put my money into something else.

Anyone running the single Fox? Or are the duals better?

I like my single Fox. Much better than the Superlift and similar doubles, does the job even in the worst conditions, and cost half as much as the performance doubles. My Thuren Fab single easily controls the steering on my truck.

How long will those shocks last? MegaMagoo's Sky Jackers are toast already. How much to replace them? You won't be replacing the Fox.

if you go with the superlift dual SS (as i did), and want them to control big tires, bilsteins (or better) are needed. the white shox that come with the kit are not exactly high quality.

Edit Pauly! Ever heard of recycling those papers/plans

Pauly/tristan are right. Go with a single Fox stabalizer, as you will never have to replace it.

Those are open jobs. There are a couple other bins just like it, too!

I agree on the Thuren Fab single Fox Stabilizer. I've had the Skyjacker duals and took it off after a year. Truck steers and handles so much better now.
