Do You ACTUALLY Need A Steering Stabilizer on Your Jeep?

Hey Guys! In this video we go over what exactly a steering stabilizer does on your Jeep!
I also go ahead and install the Teraflex Falcon Nexus 2.2 Stabilizer on my Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.

There are many different opinions when it comes to steering stabilizers..
Some jeep owners say they fix death wobble, or a bad stabilizer will cause death wobble.
Some jeep owners say that they are completely useless.
Some people swear by the dual setup..
Lets talk about some of these things, and i want you to decide what may be best for your setup.

I chose to add the falcon 2.2 adjustable stabilizer for a few reasons (mentioned in the video).
I really like the adjustable option... Sometimes having a tight steering feel is great, but there are situations (offroading) where it is a hindrance. Sometimes having a nice soft steering feel is great, but other times it can feel sloppy. With this setup, you have an "all in one" stabilizer to suit your needs and driving style.

Personally, this is probably the only steering stabilizer i would think of adding to my Jeep. I talk about the reasoning behind this in the video.

Like i also mentioned. I think other upgrades and modifications should be made to your jeep before spending this amount of money on a steering stabilizer. But on the flip side, if your daily drive your jeep, and are looking for a nice steering upgrade to enhance the feel, then this will be perfect for you.

So far, with the current Gladiator build, it is driving very nice and handles great.
Im still waiting for a lift kit, and hopefully that will be done in January/February and then we can plan a group wheeling trip at Rausch Creek!!

Thanks for watching!

After researching stabilizers, it turns out my Bilstein 5100 stabilizer was the cause of my swaying on the highway since it was pressurized. It kept pushing my Jeep left and I always had to correct it causing it to sway and be unstable. It was not neutral like normal stabilizers. Thanks for this vid!

This video is exactly what I wanted to see, actual experience in different setting. Thank you so much for always providing real life experience and input. Keep ou the good work buddy.

I ordered a JLRU in September and brought it home on Oct 19. I put this stabilizer on my jeep on Oct 21, when I had the Teraflex lift installed. I've had it on my jeep for almost 2 months and love it. It's so much better than stabilizers I have had in the past on other jeeps. When I hit railroad crossings, pot holes, or gaps going on and off bridges, my steering wheel does not move and everything stays in line. Very different than what I have experienced in the past. Well worth the money.

I just installed one of these last week on my JLUR - very impressed with it! It allows driving with minimal input vs. the 'hands tightly on the wheel' feel of the stock stabilizer. Highly recommend it - money well spent!

The crack in the windshield was definitely getting to me! 😂

I had a pretty bad death wobble on myJLRU with a small lift and 37’s when hitting potholes and bumps. They just did a recall to replace the damper and now it’s perfect.

I’m running the very similar Fox Race Series 2.0 ATS Steering Stabilizer for about 5000miles now and love it. It definitely improved the on-center feel at highway speeds.

The Fox is also adjustable, but has like 24 settings which is way too many. The low/med/hi concept seems like plenty. For daily driving, I run the Fox stabilizer at the 16/18 setting. For rock crawling, I go at 4-5

Another successful crocs in socks install.

Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong. Buying sneakers instead of crocs. Then I could have afforded the nexus 2.2 instead of the 2.1 I bought with all the shoe money saved.

Honestly being way up here in the rust belt I figured the adjustable would just seize up in no time but after watching this I kinda wish I just spent the extra bit of dough.

You will love it! It performs 50x better than the factory shock

Everytime I have a question about my jeep, You have the answers... love your channel... thank you both...

[ssarkees]

if your front geometry is correct, you do not need one. Sometimes a stabilizer will mask real issues. I run a fox stabilizer. They are good for dampening off-road driving and stiffening your steering.... You are correct about death wobble, , usually the track bar bushings affect this. Bump steer is always an issue as well (wandering from mis-aligned track-bar to pitman and passenger side outer tie rod - should be parallel with each other ) - a great fix, is again correcting your geometry. Anyway - nice video - Cheers....

This man is the king of, "but we will talk about that later" 😂

Highly recommend TF Falcon line their shocks are amazing as well

I have the same stabilizer on my JT with 35's and I have been impressed as well.

[jeffbirmingham]

I just added to the steering!! I added the steering brace and this one day apart and both where money well spent the steering is so much better now!! i live where we have 15-25 MPH wind every day and now its not blowing me all over the ROAD.

[mikehoffman]

Appreciate the honesty of your videos and product reviews.

[scottxb]

Again, great video. I also upgraded to the same stabilizer you just reviewed - the Falcon adjustable - Love it - Medium is my daily driver setting.

You should do the high line mod to the DRL on the fenders to get some extra clearance for flexing. Also it looks awesome
