fox 2.0 steering stabilizer, anyone?

so ive been looking for something similar to my bilsteins to run as a stabilizer upfront. i know fox makes a $260+ steering stabilizer, but i found this other one on 4wheelparts.com and was wondering if anyone runs it..

http://www.4wheelparts.com/PPT5974T100662.aspx

the reason im thinking of getting a steering stabilizer is ive noticed a small hoplike feel in the front end and you can feel it in the steering wheel. i had an alignment done yesterday and figured it would cure it- no dice. so let me know if anyone runs this steering stabilizer. appreciate it guys.

Looks like it is a direct replacement for the stock shock. No other mounting hardware shown like that used in the KORE kit or others. Those who have done the kits have been very happy with them.

Looks similiar to the one Thuren sells. I bought Thurens Fox S/S and it works pretty good. No steering wheel jolting going over larger objects/terrian. I haven't took it into tougher terrian to really find out how good it functions, but better than stock and the price is good.

You can also look into Carli's Dual S/S. Little more money, but you get a flawless (most part) system up front.

If it was me, I'd just spend the money on the thuren kit, but if you wanna go big, get the duals from carli.

That doesn't look like a direct replacement to me. You're going to have to fab up a mount for the drag link end.

Whats the deal? Is it that hard for a company to offer a replacement shock for less than $100????
